Let me tell you a little bit about us! My name is Lora and I am the founder of Michigan Ferret Rescue inc.
We first opened our doors to rescue in January of 2004 and we have taken in over 400 ferrets. Who would have thought that there would be such a need in my area! We have had so many come in that have touched our hearts dearly! We started to do Ferret Education Day at our local pet store (thank you Dee and Cathy for helping us get started) and have since developed a wonderful working relationship with the store employees. We have met a lot of wonderful ferret owners and have helped a lot of new ferret owners. We enjoy educating the public about these awesome little fur balls!!
We have been able to reach out to a lot of people with the help of our local newspaper and local television station. We were featured in the Flint Journal under the people section, we were given the front page!!! It was an awesome experience.
Our shelter is ran out of my home and the girls of the rescue have also opened their homes to many fosters kids. We treat all of the ferrets like they are members of our families until we find them loving forever homes. It is such a joy to have these magnificent creatures reeking havoc in our lives!!! I cannot imagine life without them!
We welcome volunteers to come in and play with the fuzzies or to come in and help clean the ferret rooms. We receive no special funding, so we also welcome donations.
If you would like to learn more about us and our shelter, feel free to drop us a line and we will certainly invite you out for a tour, just beware, not many ferret lovers leave empty handed!! |
