JUSTIN, Texas — Officers in Justin, Texas, stumbled upon an interesting find on the side of the road on Saturday.
According to the Justin Police Department, officers found domesticated rats dumped on the side of the road. The department says they are black hooded fancy rats, which is a breed of rat commonly used in pet shows due to its unique pigmentation.
Puppies being dumped on the side of the road by irresponsible breeders is a fairly common crime in North Texas, but rats are a new one. Thankfully, Justin PD announced that a Rhome organization, DFW Rat Rescue, was able to take the rodents in for safekeeping. You can adopt rats from that organization here…
