Well...there's the GA Domestic Ferret Association.  I wish we could afford
advertising so everyone in GA knew about us, but there's that little issue
of $$$$ that I'd rather not think about.  The only real advertising we have
is in Ferrets USA & Critters magazines, & an ad that runs in the Atlanta
Journal Constitution pet section (once a month).  Our advertising is mostly
word-of-mouth, through animal controls, humane societies, vets, pet stores,
& members.  But we have a mailing list & a web page under construction.  We
can provide info that you can hand out to pet shops & vets.
 
We take in many *convenience surrenders* & found ferrets.  They're cared for
by foster families until we can find them loving families of their own.  We
also have a very responsible & caring breeder in our association.
 
E-mail me directly if you would like to know more.
