Adoptable Pets of the Week: Tina and Whitney

Get ready for a new mouse infestation — in your heart.

Adorable hand-tamed mice Tina Turner and Whitney Houston will always love you and are looking to go to a new home together.

The Animal Welfare League of Arlington said the pair have been fostered in an elementary school and a home with children and are comfortable being handled. The pair is just 8 months old and enjoy running on their wheel.

“They love exploring their enclosure, nibbling treats, and chewing their way through the cardboard toys the kids make for them,” the AWLA said.

Anyone interested in adopting Tina and Whitney can visit them at the AWLA during adoption hours.

To learn more about Tina and Whitney, you can read their profiles at the AWLA site.
