About Us.
Founded in Washington State on 12/01/23, the Washington Adoption Center for Retired Research Animals (dba WACRRA) is a registered 501(c)(3) organization. Our tax-ID number is 93-4656929 and all donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
WACRRA welcomes all research species including, but not limited to, lab mice, lab rats, guinea pigs, hamsters, ferrets and many many more!
We are located within the greater Seattle area of Washington State and have adopted animals in Oregon and Idaho, too!
Our mission reaches outside of the Pacific Northwest and so can our partnerships! Are you an institution located outside of Washington and want to collaborate with WACRRA? Contact Holly Nguyen at [email protected]!
