Thanks to you our supporters, SOS was able to help Eli's Ferret Rescue Shelter on Distemper vaccines for recent intakes that the owner said if she cannot get them placed somewhere right now, she would have them put to sleep. A sad situation was avoided with thanks to a shelter mom. Without you, we wouldn't be able to help.

Did you know that if your company has matching grants that you can help Support Our Shelters by requesting it and signing up? That's a great way to make your donation go even farther and help more shelter ferrets. As a 501c3 non profit organization your donations are tax deductible as allowed by law.

Thank you, donors and shelters, for making a difference to ferrets!

Support Our Shelters' Blizzard Memorial fund is pleased to help on Opie's after surgery care.
Opie is under Five Point Ferret Rescue and in the care of a foster home to be near his amazing vet. Opie was abandoned in an apartment with a horrible growth on his little face which has been removed, and he is doing well thanks to all who were involved with his rescue and care.
Special thanks to Mark Sonder, and all our supporters; we couldn't help without you.

With thanks to our donors and special thanks to Mark Sonders, the SOS Blizzard Memorial Fund is pleased to be able to help on little Bacon's Lupron Treatments for his advanced Adrenal Disease.
Thank you, Kindness Matters for the wonderful, loving care you are giving him at the shelter. At Bacon's age he may not get to go to a home of his own, but he is living his best life at the shelter. :)

Giving a shelter ferret a loving home of its own is a great way to celebrate but there are other ways to celebrate and help a shelter if you can't adopt.
Volunteer, donate or just offering words of encouragement can go a long way and make a difference to a shelter operator who gives their all for these wonderful little companions.
You can make a difference too!

April is Adopt a Ferret Month sponsored by SOS.

About S.O.S.

Ferret shelters around the country are overcrowded and straining at the seams. It's bad and getting worse. The operators of ferret shelters give their time and money every day, often sacrificing their own needs to provide food, shelter, vet care and love to thousands (really...thousands) of ferrets who have been lost, abused or often simply dumped by people who can't be bothered to follow through on their commitment to their ferret.

Support Our Shelter (S.O.S.) aids many needy ferret shelters each year. We have been in operation since September 1997 and became a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in January 2001 so our donors may receive tax deductions for their gifts. Most of the funds S.O.S. raises go into a general pool for periodic distribution to the shelters on the list. Support is provided in the form of payment to shelter vets or gift certificates for ferret supplies. We provide vaccines, Melatonin Implants, ADV testing, food and help with veterinarian and medical bills. We also administer donations designated for a specific shelter or specific emergency rescues of large numbers of ferrets. The women of Support Our Shelters receive no compensation. Support Our Shelters hopes that you will join us by becoming involved with a shelter near you.
