>Shelters That Adopt and Rescue: STAR* is the organization of shelters that >was put together mostly by Pam Grant. She is located in Annandale, [VA] I'm not sure where Bill meant the emphasis, but STAR* was concieved in 1991 and became network developed by me (most of you have heard of the STAR* database listing by now)- the shelters, ferret owners, breeders, vets, and humane associations who SUBSCRIBE to the newsletter and receive help/support where I can offer it, are totally independent. No rules, just right. We get along with everyone who wants to get along with STAR*. We are not a "club" and therefore not competion to "memberships" or "show associations".
