Please read CAREFULLY:

If you are interested in adopting one of our ferrets, please e-mail us with any questions. You are also able to visit our ferrets at the shelter on an APPOINTMENT only basis. Please remember we are all volunteers at the shelter and we'll try to fit you in at a convenient time for us all.

Our adoption fees range from $75 to $120. We will sometimes waive a fee for our senior ferrets but will gratefully take a donation. Please don't confuse this with "free" because our seniors are at the stage where they may develop *expensive* health ailments that come with older age. This isn't to discourage their adoption but to educate the potential "parent" what *may* happen.

Our fees also include 1st shots and spay/neuter. We do not descent our ferrets as it does not change the way they smell and we feel it's an unnecessary procedure. There is also a $20 membership fee that must be paid at time of adoption.

All ferrets coming into the shelter must be tested for ADV. For more information on ADV, please visit { White Russian's webpage } or talk to your vet. As well as mandatory ADV testing, anyone wishing to bring their ferret to the shelter to introduce them to a potential play-mate must provide proof of ADV test, Distemper and Rabies vaccines.

Our process is simple. Once you've made an appointment to view our ferrets, you may fill out an application if you find a ferret that's right for you. There is a mandatory 24 hour waiting period before you can pick up your ferret. This is simply to make sure you have thought about this commitment and that you are 100% ready to bring a new ferret into your home and it also allows us time to process your application. However, we do make *some* exceptions to the rules under extreme circumstances.
