I found this little article a few weeks ago-
 
<http://www.animalsheltering.org/resource_library/magazine_articles/
jan_feb_2005/big_advocate.pdf>
 
It talks about Petco partnering with local shelters.  Because of their
partnering with a House Rabbit Society group, rabbits are no longer
offered for sale in some Petco's in Michigan.  The article is from 2005
so I don't know if anything has changed, but it might be one way to get
more people educated and more shelter ferrets adopted.
