Summer is flying by and so is the deadline to purchase tickets for the Support Our Shelters Summer raffle which ends this Wednesday, July 14!!!! Each ticket purchase directly helps ferrets in need by providing medical assistance, food, Melatonin, etc. for shelters across the country. Would $5 help a shelter? Probably not. But banding together your $5 with 100 other people can save furry lives! So it's last call to beat the heat and try your luck at winning one or these super cool prizes -- like gifts for you AND your furkids, a new cage, quality handmade bedding, ferret cache pots, trinkets, cutting edge toys, gift certificates, a handmade ferret quilt and many, many more prizes. So check out our blog at: http://www.supportourshelters.blogspot.com/ Support Our Shelters' Summer 2010 raffle will run from May 18 until July 14. The lucky winning tickets will be drawn by Bill Gruber. Winners will be notified by email or phone, and announced by July 17. Tickets cost just $1 each, or six for $5.

Therefore, we regret that we can only pay for shipping to the point in the U.S. that is closest to your destination. For example, if you are located in Toronto and win a prize, we can pay the postal fees to Buffalo, N.Y. and you will be asked to cover the difference. We ask prize winners outside the United States to be aware of this before purchasing tickets, and we are very grateful for your understanding. [Posted in FML 6757]
