Doug-- I got the info on the NH shelter for you. Please note that Dick says they've got a waiting list right now, but they've gotten in several in the last three weeks and already placed all but 2 (who were strays and need watching a while longer yet). Good luck, and it's great to hear that you encourage your kids to take responsibility for their money and their pets. I'll bet they grow up great! Contact: 4 Li'l Paws Ferret Shelter (603) 424-2941 The operators are Dick and Joan Bossart. I believe Dick mentioned something about their usual fee being something like $40, but don't hold me to that! Debra [Posted in FML issue 0596]
