I received an e-mail from a woman in the Mat-Su area of Alaska who wanted information about rabies in ferrets so she can help the Mat-Su animal control establish a ferret policy. Apparently, when the shelter receives a ferret in the shelter, it is immediately put to sleep. If you have a shelter or if you know of a humane organization in the Anchorage area that accepts ferrets, please contact me so I can let her know who she can talk to with knowledge about writing a humane ferret policy for her shelter.
