Dear All, I know everyone is doing raffles, and for weeks on end. Not us, we're just crazy enough to believe that the ferret community is going to take note and join in and support one of the oldest, most successful pro-adoption ferret shelters in the world!.....Rocky's Ferret Rescue and Shelter. I may be driving a 1992 Honda Accord, but trust me, my babies in the shelter have the best of care, the best of food, the best of enrichment in their outdoor play area. 18 years is a long time. We process about 300 surrenders and rehoming a year. I'm so not done with sheltering, call me crazy, but with the help of volunteers and God's will, somehow we are still a forceful shelter, with high medical protocols, and serving the East Coast on personal surrenders, and those ferrets from hoarders and backyard breeders. If you respect and like what we do, and want to see us continue, would you please consider playing with our raffles, or doing a direct donation. Without your support, our doors will have to close. Also at the raffle website you can purchase our uber cool tshirts! Cool stuff: rockysraffles.com Seriously, can you find it in your hearts to help us continue? I'm just silly and stupid, I should be retiring and walking away from this shelter thing. Seems like only yesterday I started Rocky's, can't believe it's 2012 already. Sadly, the call today with this economy is too great, good folks having lost their homes and jobs and having to go live in gramma's basement, and she doesn't allow pets. Nobody has just one ferret. We embrace each of those economically wounded, and the ferrets that they have tearfully had to surrender, and their wish, and our commitment, is to see to it that they are cared for and found new forever homes. So, with all this said. Dig into your pockets, spend lots of bucks at Rocky's Ferretstock Raffles! Cool stuff: rockysraffles.com Thanks, for all the support in the past 18 years and for now!
