From my ongoing series of animals that live in a German animal shelter...

Gule Gule

Normally I only post cats and dogs from the shelter, but of course there are also other types of animals waiting for a new home. For example, the Fancy rat (in German Farbratte) Gule Gule. A species from which many will surely run away screaming. But they also want to live and the animal shelter gives them a home too. Gule Gule was brought to the shelter together with her friend Abbey. Rats unfortunately have a very short life expectancy and often develop cancerous tumors, so we already had to put Abbey out of her pain.

The intention of my posts is not to find people that adopt those pets. This German animal shelter accepts only local adoptions and has a very good placement rate. My intention is to raise awareness for all those beautiful pets in the shelters out there waiting for you to be their hero. Go to your nearest animal shelter to find your new pet. Adopt! Don't shop!
