My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Elsa is a female gerbil, about two years old.  She is a single due to falling out of bond with her sister, and we don't recommend trying to bond gerbils as adults.  Luckily, as long as a gerbil has plenty of space, enrichment, and things to burrow and build, they can do fine without conspecifics.
  She is quite well socialized and will often come out when she hears us near her enclosure, to see if we have snacks.  She is wiggly to hold but enjoys booping and petting.https://www.lostwoodsas.com/adoption-application

Go meet their pets

We are currently open by appointment only to see all the pets, but we frequently appear at farmer's markets and other local events with adoptable animals.

More about this shelter

We are a specialty rescue for small exotic pets, such as reptiles and small mammals. We were formed by two women who met working at a nature center. In their interactions with the public they noticed a need in the area for a rescue that specialized in exotic pets, as well as a value in public education. Lost Woods Animal Sanctuary was formed with the mission to reduce mistreatment and abandonment of animals through rescue and rehoming, as well as educational outreach.
