Being quite good at lurking and not participating, I totally missed the chance to post on the shelter FML. I thought that it might be a good idea to tell you all about myself first anyway. I started my fostering about 7 or 8 months ago. I was a little disapointed since I really felt that there weren't ferrets out there for me to take in. (Boy, have I learned a lot since then!) With the help of a nearby breeder, who is always there when I need advice, I have been aprroved by the GLFA as my own ferret shelter! I call my humble place The FuzzButt Hut. I run everything out of my own home and realize that my space is limited. I love each and every ferret that comes in my door and always feel a little sad when they leave. I feel that I have really found my calling in life, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. I am quite picky when placing ferrets, especially if the person looking to adopt has never owned any. I try to educate them and make sure it's right for them. Well, I think that covers the basics. Feel free to email and ask questions! I have many ferrets available for adoption right now. There are actually a couple of young females that need homes. (Approx 12 weeks old) Of course, there are some older ones that are especially sweet! What the heck, I love them all! By the way, I'm located in West Michigan, if anyone is interested. Melanie [Posted in FML issue 2362]
