The Cleveland Plain Dealer (Lorain County edition) on Friday, July 12 printed an article about the North Coast Ferret Shelter, run by Bev Fox and assisted by me. The article talked about how ferrets make wonderful pets, but people are often unaware of their special needs. There was a lovely color photo of Bev and two of her shelter ferrets. The article ended with Bev saying yes, we would love to take in more ferrets, because we know there are many needing good homes. Within a week, 9 rescue ferrets arrived at Bev's doorstep, and two have been adopted out. Since Bev's house was overflowing, I had to take a couple home. :-) Anyway, if anyone in North Central Ohio or surrounding areas is looking for a new friend or friends, we have several in good health and ready for immediate adoption. My own tenants are two sable girls, Laverne and Shirley, 2-3 years old, very gentle. Bev has another comedy team, George and Gracie; two young roustabouts aptly called Ricochet (female) and Bouncer (male); and Rocky, the latest to arrive. (Bev: correct me if I misremember any of this!) You can contact the shelter via email at [log in to unmask], or Bev at [log in to unmask], or by calling 216-774-3633 or 216-327-6729. And a special thanks to Rich Exner of the PD who wrote such a nice article. Linda, Richard, Joy, Belle ("Hey this is my territory!" Furious tail wag) and Caruso ("Girls! Let me at those girls!")
