ANIMAL AMBASSADORS

MNPPR does not hold adoption events, nor do we generally have adoptable animals at other events. Pocket pets are extremely sensitive animals, and rescue pets can be particularly vulnerable due to all of the changes they’ve gone through in their lives. We prefer to have volunteers bring their personal pocket pets as Animal Ambassadors to our educational and fundraising events. 

Do you think your pocket pet would make a great ambassador to teach people about their species?

Join our Animal Ambassador Team today!

​

We are always looking for healthy, calm, friendly pocket pets who are tolerant of being touched. Even if we already have an ambassador of your pet's species, we want you and your pet to join the team! 

If you are already a volunteer,

register here.

If you are NOT already a volunteer, get started

by submitting a volunteer application here.
