This is Susie Lee of the CLOSED for over two years' Ferret & Dove Sanctuary, Inc. I still get occasional calls from people looking either for adopting or more often for turning in a shelter animal, usually ferrets, sometimes also others like guinea pigs or rabbits. For an up-to-date "listing" I tell them all to go to http://www.petfinder.org and enter their local zip code and what kind of critter they're looking "for" where that is indicated on the opening page, then it will bring up the persons and-OR shelters from those closest to them on-out. there IS also a search feature on petfinder for JUST shelters. This is a good resource, though there is no such thing as a perfect one, because in order to be a member to post your animals or birds for adoption a licensed veterinarian or animal hospital must INDEPENDANTLY vouch for you or your shelter that your animals or birds are medically seen-to. Of course, my own has been closed and I have that prominently along the top of my page ON the petfinder, but it is a very good referral resource for quickly finding MOST shelters nearest to any given location! Here is my own "other" page which is a memorial both for the Sanctuary and also for my late husband who was president-CEO of it and happier with helping animals than with any other work he ever did (he mentioned this often when alive).
