I received an email that included a solicitation from the American Humane Association for their "Second Chance Fund". The stories supporting the solicitation were of three separate incidents related to three different ferrets, and was titled, "Sweet Ferrets Suffer Severe Neglect". The stories are typical of the ones all shelter operators hear daily; Sooooo, I went to their home page and read everything available, about the organization, their mission and I was particularly interested in how such solicited funds would be proportioned to so many animal shelters needing financial support to care for the many abused and severely neglected ferrets and other animals taken into local shelters. After reading the many stringent and costly "Requirements" that are necessary to even be eligible to apply for this money, I was wondering "how many ferret shelters have ever received any funding from this "Second Chance" AHA charity?" Please, If YOU, or YOUR SHELTER has ever received any monies from this charity, please email me PRIVATELY at [log in to unmask] and please title your mail, "Second Chance".
