UPDATE 6\/29\/26:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meet our\u00a0Outsiders\u00a0crew, named after the characters from\u00a0The Outsiders: A New Musical<\/em>. Whether they’re the life of the party or the quiet observer, each one is looking for a loving home where they can shine.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"?\"\u00a0Steve\u00a0\u2013 White hairless with standard ears. Steve is one of our shy boys who takes a little time to trust, but with patience and kindness, he’s sure to blossom.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"?\"\u00a0Ponyboy\u00a0\u2013 Brown hairless with beautiful black eyes and standard ears. Curious, social, and always happy to greet new people.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"?\"\u00a0Johnny\u00a0\u2013 Black standard-coated with adorable dumbo ears. Like his namesake, Johnny is a gentle, shy soul who appreciates a calm environment and a patient family.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"?\"\u00a0Dallas\u00a0\u2013 Black double rex with dumbo ears and a wonderfully scruffy coat. Confident, outgoing, and always ready to see what you’re up to.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"?\"\u00a0Sodapop\u00a0\u2013 Grey standard-coated with dumbo ears. Sweet, affectionate, and everyone’s friend\u2014he never turns down attention or treats.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"?\"\u00a0Darrel\u00a0\u2013 Brown rex-coated dumbo. Friendly, steady, and happy to climb into your hands for a visit.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"?\"\u00a0Two-Bit\u00a0\u2013 Light grey rex with standard ears. Playful, mischievous, and guaranteed to keep you laughing with his antics.<\/span><\/p>\n

While Steve and Johnny prefer to take life at their own pace, the rest of the gang are outgoing little social butterflies who love interacting with people. Together, they make a wonderful mix of personalities, and like all rats, they’ll thrive with companionship.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We’d love to see them adopted in pairs or groups!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"?\"\u00a0Stay gold.<\/em>\u00a0Give these incredible boys the forever home they’ve been waiting for, and let them write the happiest ending of all.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
