I am very happy to announce that all of the re-surrenders have been placed in forever homes or have been transported to shelters. There are no more McKids in Lynx, Ohio!!!! We are, officially, done with the transportation and re-homing (sheltering) of the Mckay ferrets. To all of those people that found room in their hearts and homes for one more kid -- we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. None of this would have been possible without the shelters and individuals that stepped forward to help. I can't tell you how appreciative we are of what you all did -- without us having to even ask for it!!! I have met so many wonderful people along this journey -- people that I am proud to call friends! Cindy, Renee and I have always been strong advocates for the ferrets and that's why we stuck with the rescue through thick and thin. We were always in it for the kids because they deserved so much better than what they had. This rescue might have not run as smoothly as it should have -- but I can tell you one thing with certainty -- I have learned so many valuable lessons from this rescue that I will be locked and loaded for bear when (or crossing my fingers "if") the next time a large scale rescue happens. There's nothing more valuable than hands on experience and since the ferret world has never experienced a rescue of this size before, we basically cut our teeth on this one. So finally and most deservedly so, Cindy, Renee and I are taking a long awaited break and turning our attention back to catching up on our personal lives and some rescue paperwork. Just a suggestion for the giving tree next year .....Kris, why don't you just make a page for each shelter with one or two pictures of the shelter and a short bio? You can have an allotment for each -- say, 15 people per shelter. Does that make it easier for you? Lisa [Posted in FML 5845]
