Following the discovery of more than 175 pet rats in a Broadmoor home, the Peninsula Humane Society and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals announced today that it is helping to find new homes for some of the rodents.
On Oct. 16, the Broadmoor Police Department responded to reports of a disturbance at a Maddux Avenue home, where they found the rats housed throughout the residence, the PHS/SPCA reported.
'We did not find animal cruelty upon visiting the home,' PHS/SPCA humane investigator Debi De Nardi said in a statement. 'We have found the family to be extremely compliant; they've taken our suggestions and surrendered a number of their rats, which will now be placed into new homes.'
PHS/SPCA reported that the family found new homes for more than 60 of the rats, surrendered 62 of them to the Humane Society, and is opting to continue to care for a few dozen of them.
According to the PHS/SPCA, domestic rats are extremely clean, smart and social, and they are ideal pets for families with young children.
Adoption hours at the PHS/SPCA are from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays, and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends.
