Don't Forget!

FURS’ First Anniversary Celebration and Open House is Sunday, December 6!

Paws by the Lake
33757 Lake Road (at the intersection of Lake and Miller)
Avon Lake, Ohio 44012

12:00 noon to 4:00 p.m.

We hope you’ll make time in this busy pre-holiday season to join us for food, fun, and celebration.

If you haven’t already entered your favorite fuzzy foto(s) in our photo contest, there’s still time to do so! (Email to rescue@ferretsunlimited.org, or snail mail to FURS, P.O. Box 44012, Cleveland, OH 44144)

Everyone should know how to administer ferret first aid in the event of a sudden illness or emergency. Come and hear Dr. Frank Krupka from Avon Lake Animal Clinic talk about this important topic.

Our silent auction will feature several gorgeous items, including:

• A beautiful, handcrafted ferret holiday stocking personally created for FURS and donated by renowned ferret artist Dawn Lindner


• An incredible print by Sandra SanTara, who creates ferret art on feathers, as well as other media


• A WARM hand-knitted hat/scarf combination (although we hate to think of it, we’ll be needing warm weather garb soon!), donated by shelter supporter Casey Greetham


• A hand-made wooden pot personalized with the FURS logo, created and donated by Shawn Beachy and Adam Holloway


• A hand-carved maple eagle head wood sculpture, created by Bob Larson, FURS’ Pennsylvania woodcarving friend.

Our raffles and games will keep everyone entertained!

If you’re shopping for the ferret people in your life (or for yourself), we’ll have great gifts available to make your holiday shopping easier and a lot more fun. (And, you’ll be supporting our shelter kids – how cool is that?)

Several of our adoptable ferrets will be on hand to welcome you and wish you happy holidays.

And, our part-time top chefs (board members, friends, and volunteers) will be providing food and refreshments.

Our holiday (and year-round) wish is that the fuzzies in our care be provided with everything to keep them healthy and happy until they can find wonderful, forever homes.

You can help make this wish a reality.

See you on December 6!

P.S. If you are interested in helping out at the open house, we need volunteers to staff various areas and to generally help out and provide moral support! If you’d like to be part of the fun, let us know.
