Hello Ferretphiles, I need to create a term paper on shelters, it's not to criticize but to get an understanding of how t it is operated , how they make determinations on vet needs and any other information that could help . I could do like most students and goto a typical shelter for dogs or cats but I want to help shed a light on how these ferret shelters save lives and place our little one's. Is there one in southern CA that could help? I would help by contributing my time in anyway i can as payment, whether its cleaning cages or whatever.
