Dumbo Male in Beverly, MA

Templeton was taken in by a caring person after he was given away through an email list, and he is now in need of a "forever" home. His past with careless owners has made him food-aggressive, but with time and patience we think he will become more trusting of people. He is a blue dumbo rat, approximately one year old, and in good health.
