North Star Rescue is in need of adults over 18 to help with the socialization of our animals. We specialize in rodents such as hamsters, rats, mice, guinea pigs, and chinchillas. Socialization is a critical part of rescue. It accustoms our animals to being handled and therefore increasing their chances of being adopted in forever homes. Previous animal experience is great, but not a requirement as staff can train you. Patience and dedication are qualities we are looking for in our North Star Rescue Volunteers.

Mission Statement
North Star Rescue's mission is to assist with the rescue and placement of at risk pet rodents in California shelters and to provide education on proper care to help benefit pet rodents everywhere.
Description
North Star Rescue is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Organization based in the San Francisco Bay Area dedicated to the welfare of small companion animals. We are the only rescue organization in the San Francisco Bay Area specifically dedicated to all species of pet rodents. North Star Rescue provides a variety of services to help small companion animals, including: Rescue and Foster Services for California Shelters, Public Adoptions of Small Animals, Behavioral Advice, Educational Events and More. Unlike a traditional shelter, North Star Rescue has no central location. We are a network of foster homes run by dedicated volunteers who have united under the common goal of keeping small animals from being euthanized when they have nowhere else to go.
