Sandi Robinson of the Heaven Scent Rescue/Shelter knows the meaning of hard work. A cashier, she once worked 68 hours in a week - and brought home less than $450. Nevertheless, Sandi works every hour of overtime she can to keep her shelter running. You may have already heard about two very special ferrets - Chance, who survived for two days outside, where his owners had tossed him after being mangled by the family dog; and Ms. Smokey, the little girl whose owners advised Sandi to feed her macaroni and cheese. If you visit our website (http://www.shelterfriends.blogspot.com), you can also read about blind, malnourished Einstein, another very special ferret rescued by Sandi. You can help ferrets just like Einstein - dozens of ferrets, at Sandi's shelter right now - by participating in our Friends of Ferret Shelters raffle. For just $2 per ticket (three for $5 and six tickets for $10) you could win one of 12 terrific prizes - gift baskets stuffed with gourmet foods and lots of ferret goodies, bedding sets, jewelry, holiday-themed assortments, a complete set of Boston Rounds medicine bottles and syringes, and more! This is our last raffle in 2007 and it ends Monday, Nov. 19! Every penny from your ticket purchases will be donated to the Heaven Scent Rescue/Shelter so don't wait, buy your tickets today! ***SPECIAL!*** Rose German of Little Feet Ferret Retreat (www.littlefeetferretbedding.com/) has donated a gorgeous, oh-so-snuggly "Boyd's Bears Blue" 9-piece handmade bedding set to our raffle on behalf of Sandi Robinson's Heaven Scent Rescue/Shelter!

She has helped hundreds of abused, neglected ferrets to find loving homes - or at least, a warm, loving atmosphere in which to spend their last moments. Now, Sandi needs a little bit of help and holiday cheer from us. Thanks so much for your support!
