Of and on for more than 12 years I have shared my home with ferrets. Delightfully devilish, these little weasels have endured themselves to me. While searching for a foster home for a friend's son's boys, I became aware of a very real need for a network of ferret rescue people in eastern Canada. Receiving no answer from several rescue organizations in Ontario where the ferrets in need lived, I found a small brochure in Halifax, at my own boys' vet clinic.
The Ferret Lovers Society of Atlantic Canada or FLSAC is run out of the Director's home. She has 9 ferrets in residence, not all her own. Some are rescues, or surrenders, many are special-needs or high maintenance.
Needless to say, I joined this passionate group of volunteers. We share the love of weasels and we are committed to seeing all ferrets in suitable forever homes. This requires a modest amount of money. So, I have found myself as co-chair of fund-raising.
We are exploring cooperative ways of generating much-needed revenue. The first such event is hosted by Chapters, Bayers Lake Power Centre, Chain Lake Dr., Halifax on May 30, 2009. Stop in and meet us. Mention 'ferret rescue' and 10% of your total purchase on that day will return to aid our rescue efforts. Thank-you.
