You can take it to your local Humane Society.

Some humane societies won't take rats, guinea pigs, reptiles, etc. If yours won't, try finding a pet rat rescue group (yes, they do exist), or run an ad on Craigslist to see if someone wants to adopt it. Question them carefully to be sure they don't just want it for snake food. If your rat is old and sick, you may just have to take it to a vet and ask to have it humanely put down.

Have you tried petting and playing with your rat? They make very smart, affectionate, and entertaining pets, but you have to handle and play with them to get them to bond with you.
