Hi everyone. It is with a sad heart that I inform you of another shelter closure. The Huronia Ferret Services located in Barie Ontario will close effective next week. Just three weeks ago, the Ontario Domestic Ferret Services closed as well, leaving only our shelter in Toronto and The Ottawa Ferret Association (about 5 hours away) open. When shelters close, it is the hardest thing to deal with. I feel so sad for both operators of the former shelters. Most of it was lack of funding. If everyone who had ferrets donated a dollar for each of the ferrets they had to a local shelter, this could maybe have been prevented. Take a look around your community and please support your shelters. If you don't no one else will and the fate of our Ontario shelters may be in your back yard too. Randy [Posted in FML issue 2148]
