I live in Texas and asked to volunteer at a local shelter. I was sure that I could lend a good helping hand as an experienced fuzzy owner and cleaner- extraordinaire. :) When I called, I was told that volunteers were not accepted due to 'insurance' reasons. (I assume that means that if something were to happen to me and I sued them....etc.) Any ferret shelters in the DFW/Plano area need a hand that don't have this type of problem? If not, I'll check into the SPCA or humane society....but I prefer fuzzies :) EJ [log in to unmask] (posted anon since I am not at 'my' computer.) [Address corrected. BIG] [Posted in FML issue 2782]
