Eugene, OR, October 9, 2026 —

Greenhill Humane Society, located in Eugene, Oregon, is currently facing a significant intake of rats and is issuing an urgent call for adopters. The animal shelter’s capacity is nearing a critical point, with the number of rats in their care approaching 200. This surge in intake is attributed to a recent rescue operation, though specific details regarding the origin or circumstances of this rescue were not immediately available.

The humane society is emphasizing the urgent need for individuals and families willing to provide homes for these animals. Shelters often operate with limited space and resources, and such a large influx of animals can strain their ability to provide adequate care for all residents. Rat adoption can offer a unique companionship experience, as rats are known for their intelligence, social nature, and cleanliness when properly housed and cared for.

Adoption counselors at Greenhill Humane Society are available to discuss the specific needs of rats, including proper housing, diet, and social interaction requirements, to ensure potential adopters are well-prepared. The organization is seeking responsible and committed individuals to provide loving environments for these animals. The exact number of rats currently available for adoption and the timeline for when they will be ready to leave the shelter were not specified.
