As most of you are aware, the 2012 Ferret Giving Tree is now accepting Shelter registrations. Shelters need to register to be allowed to post ferrets to the Tree. Once you have registered and been approved, then you can log in to www.ferretgivingtree.com/db and start posting ferrets! Please try to have all your pictures and ferret bios ready to post together. People posting the ferrets cannot add pictures after posting the ferret's bio -- a helper or admin would have to do add the pictures after the fact. The cutoff date for Shelters to register is November 30, but ferrets will be accepted to the Tree until December 15. No Exceptions! If you haven't registered by November 30 then you will not be allowed to register. All ferrets must be posted by December 15 as well, no exceptions! If you need help getting registered or putting your ferrets on the tree, please email [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask] and someone will help you. Please remember that the Tree will not close until all ferrets have Santas! Once a ferret has been chosen, it is up to the Santa to either send a gift of some kind, or contact the Shelter to let it know that he/she is not going to be able to send a gift. Shelters: if you have a ferret or ferrets that haven't received a gift and you haven't been contacted by the Santa by December 20th, please contact me at [log in to unmask] and I'll put the ferret back on the tree. Let's try to make sure all ferrets have good Santas this year! Please contact me at [log in to unmask] if you have any questions or issues with this year's Ferret Giving Tree. Thanks!
