Foster Homes and Pet Sitting Needed for the Holidays!
Foster parents are needed for the upcoming holidays, as well as
in general, because our local shelters are close to capacity.
Does anyone want to volunteer to be a foster parent? Usually, the
procedure is to take the ferret in, get it a check up, make sure it has
shots (rabies & distemper), try to work with minor health/behavior
problems, if necessary (litter training, earmite/flea eradication,
socialization, nip training), interview prospective adopters, then
adopt them out. If there is anyone who might be interested in
providing temporary homes for ferrets or helping to interview adopters,
please let Karen Marsh-Lovvorn know.
Shelter Information and Contacts
Please support your local ferret shelters. If you are unable to donate
financially, they can also use ferret/kitten food, old t-shirts,
sweatshirts, towels, toys, water bottles, food dishes and other ferret
accessories, laundry detergent, and paper towels.
