It is always busy here at Ferret Wise shelter! We had a great check on our shelter inspection last week with Lester-- as kids sniffed his pantlegs and tried to climb up! LOL It was also great fun to have our shelter friend Sandra Fox stop in on a quick as a bunny stop! She and Ray will be running the Ferret Wise booth at the AFA event in York PA on Dec 6th- so please check out our stuff there-- they will have a special offer for buyers of multiple bedding items! We are saddened over the departure of Miss Marple - though we all realize she hurts no more. We are happy to report that Summer & Salsa , our 911 gals , 2 emotionally challenged pet shop abuse cases - found their forever home with Dr Sandra last weekend. She had visited them last Holiday Open house and figured they had waited long enough! I hear after an initial christening Summer style they are making a gentle transition into their new lives as family ferrets! We are all looking forward to the ANNUAL Holiday Open House Sat Dec. 6th 11AM-3PM. Here at Ferret Wise we have many human treats & refreshments, raffle items ( including a signed copy of Ferret for Dummies donated by Kim Schilling herself) and some novelty goodies to purchase for gifting!. For more info on the holiday raffles and the opportunity to participate please email the shelter! This is also when the winner of the Holiday Quilt Raffle will be announced. Time is running out so check it out and get your tickets- while they last. This year we are sharing proceeds with SOS- in a true Holiday fashion - so they can help more ferret emergency rescues!
