Hi Lindsey, I understand your concern but where's the individual responsibility here? If you make an appointment to see your doctor etc., don't you write it down somewhere or put it on your electronic device so a reminder can come up? Not everyone is tuned in to Facebook or can't afford the time to keep track of everything thing on it! Shelter operators have one main responsibility and that's to the ferrets under their care! Many of us don't have enough volunteers as it is and I really don't think it should be necessary for shelters or their volunteers to worry about contacting you regarding your commitment, IMHO!
