This is to let everyone know about AFA's New Shelter Webpage. Please take some time and check out the new page. If you are one of the few listed and there is an error with your listing please use the link at the top of the page to submit corrections. AFA's old shelter page was very out of date and was a pain in the butt to keep up to date. The new page should be much more user friendly, every listing contains contains the same data, and it allows AFA to keep the information up to date much easier. Depending on the AFA Shelter Committee, additional information may be needed in order to qualify your shelter to be listed. At this time the form is complete. The link to the new page is http://www.ferret.org/links/shelters.html and the link to fill out any corrections on the form is http://www.ferret.org/links/updateShelterContactInfo.html - you should see the clickable link to the form at the top of the shelter page. Some information on getting, being and staying listed on the AFA Shelter page: 1. The page will be updated every 3 months. 2. AFA members are listed with a star by their shelter name. If your membership expires then your will lose the star. 3. Non-members are also listed. 4. You will receive an email from me every January. The email is to make sure your data is still current. If you fail to respond back in a timely fashion your listing will be deleted (I will provide a date to respond by). You will then be required to resubmit the form and you will not be updated until the next update (April). 5. Sending emails to AFA will not get you listed or updated anymore. Shelters MUST use the form. If you fail to provide all the required fields, your shelter will not be listed. We hope this will help keep our shelter list up to date with only those qualified and legitimate shelters. If you have any questions, please let me know ([log in to unmask]).
