Shawsheen River Gerbils is committed to improving the situation of gerbils in need. We encourage the adoption of older animals who still have much love to give. We specialize in introducing solo gerbils to new friends. We serve as an official breed rescue to area humane societies and assist pet owners who find themselves with gerbils they cannot keep.
By adopting an older animal from us, you'll receive our ongoing assistance in maintaining your gerbil clan, adding new animals as your older ones pass on. We breed to maintain founder lines, to continue our show lines, or to allow a rescued pet to build his or her own family. This provides us with new young animals to join older animals who are left alone. We also work with reputable area breeders and families who find themselves with surprise litters to obtain high-quality, healthy young animals as needed. We are members of the American Gerbil Society where our founder proudly serves as President.
History
Shawsheen River Gerbils began by innocently adopting three aged gerbils at a 4-H Fair in August, 2002. Thirteen years later, we have our own clan of pet and show gerbils, and a constant stream of visiting gerbils, rescues, and the occasional non-gerbil rodent pet needing a new home. Look over our site and find out why gerbils make such great pets for today's busy families. Then choose new friends from our Available page.
