To any people interested in helping hslters in your area. If yo are unaware where a shelter may be around your neck of the woods, a wonderful resource is the Support Our Sheltrs shelter list. By visiting the site Supportourshelters.org you may visit any state list of ferret shelters. This posting will tell you the city in which they are located, some specific addresses some by P.O. Box. You can contact each with the numbers posted and learn certain information about each shelter. I would suggest you also check the list provided in neighboring states. Sometimes it is closer to travel to a shelter in a neighboring state than one in your own. Anyone that needs help won't care where you come from!! There are some shelter folks who are not tied into the FML between working full-time jobs and running their shelters. Some folks also play catch-up over the weekend or only catch posts on weekend, or Mondays when they return to work. So if a post is not repeated it aometimes may not be seen. Support Our Shelters is supportive to the ferret community and shelters in so many ways. If you know of a shelter who is not on the list please encourage them to sign up, there are more perks for them to be hooked up than possible drawbacks!! The contact person for the shelter listings of SOS is Sharon Beardon, a ery dedicated lady, as are all the SOS members. You can click on her name that appers in red on this site to send an e-mail. http://supportourshelters.org/SOS-ShelterList2.html or e-mail her directly at [log in to unmask] I hope this is helpful to volunteers and shelters in need of help.
