Wanted: "Ferret Bucks"!

Looking for a fun way to support FURS that won't break the bank?

Try collecting "Ferret Bucks."

If you look at a dollar bill closely, you'll see that a letter appears to the right of George Washington's portrait, inside the seal of the Federal Reserve Bank district that issued that bill.

Next time you come across dollar bills with the letter "F" (Atlanta), consider saving them to donate to FURS. They're "Ferret Bucks"!

Every bit helps!

FURS 2nd Annual Anniversary Celebration and Open House
Early November
(Date and location to be announced)

FURS will soon be celebrating its second anniversary! We hope you'll join us for fun, food, ferrets, and fellowship! Watch for details.

We Are At Capacity!

Late spring and summer always bring an influx of ferrets into our rescue. This year is no exception.

The good news is that we have a lot of wonderful, very adoptable ferrets who would love to meet you and go to wonderful forever homes.

The not-so-good news is our resources are being strained to meet this demand. We are at capacity, and our waiting list is growing.

Therefore, as of now, mid-July, we can only accept surrenders on an emergency basis. We will still be accepting surrender applications, but please know that it will most likely be some time before we can actually take in more ferrets.

How can you help? Monetary contributions, as well as donations of food, litter, and supplies are always welcome. Better yet, please consider adopting or sponsoring one or more of our current kids. While there are always mixed feelings when they leave us for their new families (joy at their adoption, and sadness at knowing we will miss them), we know that there are other ferrets out there who also deserve good lives and great homes.

Thanks so much for your continued help and support!
