I own three petstore ferrets, though was given to me because I could provide a better home but he first came from a petstore. However in Halifax, Nova Scotia There are no ferret shelters the closest is ontario but I can't Travel that far when I already own three ferrets and a lot of fish, Though I'd love to help out the little guys, and I beg for people to ship me ferrets that need a good home, No one will, understandably so. And so there is little else for me to do but buy a pet-store ferret, I want to rescue another female ferret to hopefully be a companion for my first "petstore bought" female ferret. So don't rag on the people who have no other option but to ehance thier lives with petstore ferrets Sincerly sadned by the fact I can't rescue more ferrets, Mya [Posted in FML issue 4269]
