Rats from infested house offered up for adoption as pets
ROCHESTER, Wash. (AP) -- Rats from a heavily infested house here are being trapped to be offered for adoption as pets.
Poison was used before her volunteer group got involved, and the rest of the rats are being trapped live to be offered for adoption, said Price, the sister of former Seattle Mariners pitching coach Bryan Price.
Rodent enthusiasts around the state constitute "a huge rat community," Price said.
As of Thursday the group had captured 29 live rats, including 10 babies.
"They're very smart, they're very clean, they can do tricks," Price said. "They're like little miniature dogs."
Before agreeing to move, Diller was saying, `You can't hurt them, they're my friends,'" said Susanne Beauregard, director of Animal Services.
