About Us
Happy Endings is a division of EARPS Exotic Animal Rescue which is based in Indianapolis, IN. We are a small rescue located in Columbia City, Indiana specializing in rats and mice. Our mission is to provide a safe haven for unwanted rats and mice and to find the best homes we can for those that are adoptable. Through education, we also hope to dispel the undeserved negative stereotypes these beautiful animals still have in much of society today. We do not euthanize unplaceable animals, therefore, all old, ill or aggressive rats or mice live out the remainder of their lives here. Because of this, space and resources may at times become limited. Please see our wish list if you would like to make a donation! Our rats and mice come to us through private surrenders or from shelters around Indiana and surrounding states. Take a look at our adoptables if you are interested in providing a loving home. Visitors are always welcome! Our permanent sanctuary residents include 12 rats. If you have a rat or mouse in need please contact Heather about fostering possibilities. If you are a private individual, please see our policy for rodent surrender. All our residents enjoy:
roomy cages

5 Ways To Help Happy Endings/EARPS!!!
BECOME A FOSTER
We can only take in animals we have room for. We are a no-kill rescue which means when we are full, animals will be turned away. More foster homes means more animals can be rescued...it's as simple as that!
DONATE MONEY, GIFT CARDS OR ITEMS
Caring for so many little lives is far from cheap. Money helps buy supplies and pay for medical care. Gift cards from stores such as Kroger, Pet Supplies Plus and Walmart or items from our wish list are also greatly appreciated!
HAVE US PET SIT
Going on vacation? Ask us about on-premises petsitting for small animals! Locations in Columbia City, IN and Indianapolis, IN.
SHOP CAFEPRESS
Visit the EARPS Cafepress site for cool rat and other critter gear!
VOLUNTEER
Do you have some spare time? We are looking for people who can help us clean cages, transport or help with fundraising, among other things. If you have a special talent, don't mind driving, or just like to scrub dirty cages, let us know!
An
adoption fee of $20 per rat includes a complete physical exam by a licensed
exotic veterinarian and spay/neuter (unless listed as special needs). It is
required that rats be adopted in pairs or more unless you already have a rat
at home. Rats are extremely social animals and are happiest when housed with
other rats. For more information on why rats should not be housed alone read
this. Need to research
rats before adopting or just want to know more? Click here
to order informative rat care books or search through our rat information
links below.
Our mouse adoption fee is $5 per mouse. Females must be adopted in same-sex
pairs unless you have a female mouse at home. Males must be adopted in bonded
same-sex pairs but can sometimes be adopted as singles if they do not get
along with other males.

Note: Happy Endings is in the process of downsizing temporarily. This website may not always be current or list all rats available for adoption. Please visit our Petfinder page for an up-to-date list of adoptables!
