If someone asked you, will you adopt a ferret from a shelter that doesn't
test for ADV.?  I wonder what your answer will be.  Most often times, we
ask about ECE in the past, why not now ask about ADV.
 
You say, shelters can't afford to test all their adoptees.  Are you willing
to pay to have your potential adoptee tested before you bring them home?
Why not?
 
Then why is it when a shelter states one little one with ADV. came in and
was quarantined with extra ordinary precautions taken, are potential adopt
ors being hesitant to adopt.  Nothing was hidden.
 
It didn't have to be said.  The shelter's testing of each and every
entrant is for adoptors benefit as well as the shelter.
 
Think twice before you adopt the next time about what is or is not being
said or not said.  Shelter operators are human too.  Only, sometimes they
care so much for others, they spare no cost.
