The situation at Rocky's Ferret Shelter & Rescue is like a lot of other shelters - packed to the gills, ferrets just keep coming and vet bills are piling up. Without support from the ferret community and volunteers, these shelters simply could not keep their doors open. Here's how you can help - and have a little fun too!
