Hi, everyone. This is an amazing story. About 9 or 10 years ago, I received an emergency call from someone whose dog had attacked a ferret in her back yard. The ferret was clearly suffering and she wanted to know what to do. I drove over to her house and found a little guy who was basically in shock and whimpering from internal bleeding. He died in my arms as we were frantically driving around town looking for a vet to treat him (it was late at night). She kept my number all these years and now her son, who is 27 and owns two ferrets, is being called to active duty in the Middle East. He needs to find a home for his ferrets. They're 1 1/2 to 2 years old, 1 male and 1 female, both fixed, with first shots and healthy. They come with a cage and food. He needs to find a home for them by next Wednesday, March 5. As I am no longer working full time, I can't afford to take in another two ferrets in addition to the two I have, one of whom has insulinoma and the other of whom gets regular injections for adrenal disease. Is there a shelter or ferret owner here in New Mexico who would adopt these ferrets as a service to someone in the service? Please get back with me asap. Thank you.
