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. Dawn [Posted in FML issue 5306]
