There are new people posting on the Craigs List and Hooby who are posing as NJ Ferret Rescues/Shelters. Here is a list of legal NJ ferret rescues/shelters and small private rescues who can legally take in ferrets in NJ. Me, Debi-Fuzzy Loving Ferret Rescue Steve & Cheryl-SJ Ferret Rescue & Sanctuary Keith & Evelyn-Father Nature's Ferret Rescue Glenda-Haskell's Furry Little Rascals Megan-Ferret Frenzy Sam-South Jersey Small Animal Rescue Larry-Scales & Tails We are all legal and permitted by the NJ Department of Fish & Wildlife to rescue and adopt out ferrets. This list is the most current as of September 25th, 2009. If you see an add posted by someone in New Jersey saying they are a ferret rescue/shelter and they are NOT on this list, PLEASE contact me with the person's information such as name, e-mail address, mailing address and phone number if you have it. I have been working for a few years now with Linda & Jane from the New Jersey Department of Fish & Wildlife Permit Sector to crack down on people posing as legal ferret rescues in my state. You need a special permit and in most cases need to pass an inspection by Jane to legally rescue, shelter and adopt out ferrets in New Jersey. Also if you live in New Jersey and purchase a ferret from a New Jersey pet shop and you do NOT received a temporary permit for your ferret (Pink slip), also please contact me with the pet shops information. They are also trying to crack down on NJ pet shops that are not giving out this information or temporary permit. Adam's Pet Safari in Chester NJ is one of these pet shops and I've already called in and reported him. I'm all for more ferret rescues in my state, but please, lets make sure they are legal and follow legal protocal.
