April 2008 is Adopt A Ferret Month

Adopt A Ferret Month was started to help bring attention to the number of ferrets in need of a forever home and the ferret shelters that take on the task of caring for them.

Every year thousands of ferrets are surrendered to these shelters; many more are surrendered to municipal shelters.

You don’t have to be a shelter to help ferrets. Here are a few ways-

* Visit the Ferret Shelter page to view shelter wishlists and volunteer needs.

* Did you find your ferret through Petfinder? Submit a Happy Tail to share the joy of ferret adoption.

*Print out a flyer to post in your community- download poster
