Adopt Summer & Winter

Unknown · Young · 2 years

These lovely girls previously had a caring home, but due to their owner’s health issues they could no longer receive the time and attention they were used to. They are both curious, and enjoy human interaction, making them great companions for someone willing to spend time with them. Summer and Winter will need a spacious gerbil-safe enclosure with deep bedding for digging and tunnelling, as gerbils love to burrow and stay active. A large tank or well-ventilated enclosure with plenty of enrichment such as hides, chew toys, and tunnels would suit them best. They’re looking for a home where they can continue to get plenty of care, enrichment, and affection. If you think you could offer these sweet girls the home they deserve, Summer and Winter would love to meet you.

About Summer & Winter

What life with Summer & Winter looks like

Summer & Winter is a large young adult animal waiting at Thornberry Animal Sanctuary in United Kingdom.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Summer & Winter far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Summer & Winter, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Summer & Winter?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Thornberry Animal Sanctuary handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Summer & Winter on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Summer & Winter if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Thornberry Animal Sanctuary will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Summer & Winter already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most animals on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Summer & Winter isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Thornberry Animal Sanctuary early rather than rehoming privately; they know Summer & Winter and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (the shelter's own language). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
