It does work - I agree. I know (thank God) that I have in less ferrets
than you did as a shelter. The placement service would be a good
'volunteer' job for other shelters. Don't you think. I personally know I
couldn't run the placement part also, there just isn't enough time in the
day. I talk up a blue streak to try and get people to use that option.
Especially for older more likely to be stressed ferrets. Or last year when
I was having ECE problems.
I think we have an excellent working relationship. Our communication helps
and having known each other. I guess I was just trying to stress it wasn't
likely that shelters would be done away with.
So people out there, that have some free time and good people and
organizational skills - why not volunteer to help set up a placement
service for your shelter.
