Friends & Family, I realize that I have sent you many requests for
helping our shelter. I'm not asking for you to donate items or money
(at this time). I'm just asking for you to please add these websites
to your regular bookmarks toolbar menu and click on these websites
once a day. Thank you!
Wind & Willows Ferret Rescue -- Fallon, Nevada Founded By: Lisa Watson
in 2006
Mission (posted on Facebook): "Our mission... to provide a safe, warm
and loving place for unwanted, abused or neglected ferrets while
attempting to educate current and prospective ferret owners on the
proper care, feeding and needs of these very special souls."
Adoption Thoughts: "Some of my "special needs ferrets" would be
adoptable in the perfect situation if someone wanted a bonded group or
was prepared for surgery costs... it just doesn't happen that way and
nearly all of the ferrets have been with us at least a year or more
now-- hate to bounce them around... general rule is health issues,
abused , neglected ferrets stay for life and if they haven't been
adopted in 1 or 2 years-- they become residents.. (there are always
exceptions and I have several perfect adoptive homes that have taken
my special kids before and will probably take more again someday)
currently, I think 75% of my kids are over 5 years old-- so hard to
place."
Current Number of Ferrets: 37
Current Number of sick/injured/hospice or resident ferrets: 35
