For a NJ Ferret shelter, get in touch with ww.metroferret.com. They help out several NJ/NY/PA shelters as well as running their own foster homes. Great group of people, I'm sure they can help. For a Florida shelter, it would help to know WHERE in FL you are. It's a big state. There are shelters located throughout, but it's best if you can give a general area rather than list them all. As far as the Fuzzy Loving Rescue, although there possibly was a misunderstanding at the beginning between Debi and the town, after that it seems that rather than trying to work with the town to get a varience or come to some sort of compromise, Debi chose to ignore the codes and rules, then expected others to fight her battles for her. The way things were handled by Debi caused many folks to lose confidence and respect in the credibility of her and her shelter, and not want to be associated with the situation. She became her own worst enemy in the way she tried to handle a potential resolution. Anne [Posted in FML issue 4931]
