I just wanted to let everyone know the fight is still on. The Zoning Board had another meeting about us on August 10th. Now they are saying to be a Home Based Operation, we need to make a PROFIT! This was NOT part of the original criteria in 2003 when we filed for a variance with the Zoning Board They have also decided (AGAIN) that a ferret rescue is NOT needed or benificial to the town. yeh right, I wonder if they would like me to refere all the phone calls & e-mails for surrenders I've been getting for my area to them. They still say they have never seen a ferret in town except for the video we gave them in 2003 to show how our ferrets are kept. Like they would see any of the owners in our town walking their ferrets on a leash like a dog. So for right now, SORRY, we will not be taking in anymore rescues, not even emergancies, untill this gets settled, it's been almost 3 yrs that this has been going on. People are still welcome to call us for information and we will see if we can try to help rehome ferrets for everyone. This is breaking my heart! I just can't believe how ignorant some town officials are PLEASE say a prayer that someone will get them to see the light, and how important our rescue is to the community.
