Support Our Shelters liked Fred Hurd's suggestion last Sunday that the money that was raised for the Tidewater ferrets still be given to the Tidewater ferrets. We have returned or redirected the checks as instructed by the donors, but we still have $250 in cash that was raised by the generous ferret-loving folks at the symposium. Support Our Shelters has helped Carole McCraig's rescue in the past, and after doing our homework (as we try to do every time) we are confident that the donation money will be well spent in going to Carole's vet for needed surgeries for her elderly crew. We hope that the donors will be happy, or at least content, with our decision. Carole holds a special niche in specializing in caring for the elderly ferrets, and being a subject of controversy has been very stressful. We hope that Lisa and everyone else will understand that this is in no way a reflection on Lisa or our opinion of her good work for the ferrets. There are so many needy ferrets out there. The Utah ferrets still need help, and there are dozens of hard working, worthy shelters on the FML Shelter List. Please consider "adopting" a shelter of your own to give them your support.
