To shelters out there who are overflowing: Last i checked, there are *wait lists* in some areas of Michigan for ferret adoptions. I can follow up on this - this was earlier this summer - if any shelters think they'd like to try and move ferrets from one shelter to another. These shelters are in the greater Metro Detroit area, btw. Also, ECE *has* gone through much of this area, so it might not be difficult to locate a compatible shelter. Note: I'm not trying to take business from the breeders established in this area. In fact, I don't think it would interfere much at all, as the people I've talked to at the shelters very clearly have a clientele that wants to adopt *from a shelter* in the first place. Last i noticed, there weren't any shelters in Ann Arbor. Anyway, if you're interested in contacting a Michigan shelter about moving ferrets between shelters, contact me in private e-mail and let me know of your interest. It shouldn't be too hard to coordinate. Melissa ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Melissa Litwicki "Is it ... atomic?" [log in to unmask] "Yes! VERY atomic!"
