Featured Shelter Gerbils: Harriet & Anne

2/14/09 - UPDATE: Harriet and Anne have found a home!

This week’s featured shelter gerbils are Harriet and Anne, who are at the Capital Humane Society in Lincoln, Nebraska.

This is where we have adopted several of gerbils (Faith, Hope, and Buster). They took great care of them while they were there!

Harriet and Anne were surrendered to the shelter, because their owner’s landlord didn’t allow pets in the building. It looks from the photo like Harriet and Anne are black and grey agouti gerbils. If you are allowed to have pets in your home and live in or near Lincoln, Nebraska, please consider contacting the Capital Humane Society about Harriet and Anne!

Featured Shelter Gerbil: Heidi

UPDATE: Linette has told us that Heidi has been adopted!

Our current featured shelter gerbil is Heidi, a lovely little black female gerbil who is at the Tri-County Humane Society in Saint Cloud, Minnesota.

Heidi is about three months old, lives alone, and is looking for a good home and lots of sunflower seeds.

Heidi’s New Year’s resolution is to find a great new home. If you can help Heidi with her resolution, please visit her Petfinder page and contact the Tri-County Humane Society.

Fantastic Quilted Gerbil Gifts!

I had to share the wonderful Christmas gifts that Jason’s aunt made for me! She is an amazing quilt artist. You can see some of her work on her Web site, PegPennell.com.

Both the quilted portrait and the quilted bag are based on actual photos of Herman. The framed portrait is based on this photo of Herman, and the gerbil picture on the quilted bag is based on this photo of Herman.

I was so surprised and... well... completely floored when I opened the presents from Peg. I really can’t thank her enough! I’ve been carrying my new gerbil purse with me, and the quilted portrait of Herman is hanging on the wall above Herman and Sebastian’s tank. :)

In the photo to the left, Herman is checking out his quilted portrait for the first time. I think I was more excited about the portrait than Herman was, but he was still curious about it. ;)
