I have been away from the computer for a few days, and admittedly may not have the whole scoop on the Shelter vs Sanctuary debate. I tip my hat to all who help the cast off animals, I know of many who deprive themselfs to insure the well being of the animals in thier charge.I just need a clarification of the definition of sanctuary. I heard it descibed here as a forever home for surrendered and rescued ferrets where they are allowed free run of the home, any and all required meds and vet care provided and the fuzz are showered with love and attention. My question: I have what some (my wife included) would contend an excessive amount of ferrerts. They are all rescues or surrenders. I meet all the conditions of the discription above. Does that make my house a Sanctuary? Bob Adams [Posted in FML 5734]
