I hope you take this review and learn from it. I’m going to explain why I personally am not interested in adopting from your rescue. I sent an email inquiring about adopting and one of the first things I started in this email was I had questions for the rescue , and I also asked if I could meet these animals before I commit. The website states adoptions don’t happen overnight and if I was a rescue I would be worried if someone didn’t have questions. From what I gathered this place doesn’t communicate very well, but does constantly post videos on Facebook of the huge amounts of ferrets they have. I also read they ask very invasive questions. Me thinking , how invasive can questions about a ferret be? Anyway. Instead of responding to my initial email about my inquiry, I was sent an adoption

We volunteered here for years between 2014 when we moved away in 2019. They care deeply about their animals, and we even brought in veterinary expertise from Washington State University to help develop our husbandry practices. When we finally lived in a place that would let us have ferrets as pets (our first apartments wouldn't) we adopted 4, Bear, Beau, Byrdie, and Boo. All were wonderfully cared for before we got them, and we gave them good long lives, before they all passed away from old age, or cancer (a big problem with all ferrets). WFRS provided care and advice at all stages of their lives, from the fun parts where we would play with them, to the hard end of life decisions. The staff can be intense, but they are wonderful and caring people, who truly want want is best for the animal

It's clear when you come to this shelter that the people who work here care about ferrets A LOT. It can be frustrating if you expect to just go in and walk away with a new ferret, but it takes a lot of trust and dedication to adopt a pet, and if you are committed to taking care of a ferret in the best way possible, I wouldn't skip this step. The volunteers at WFRS understandably want to make sure that what they do is in the best interests of the ferrets and that sometimes means multiple visits as part of the application, but the tradeoff is that you learn a lot about ferret care and have a great community of other ferret parents (ferrents??) in the area for support. We have fostered 14 ferrets through WFRS so far. Before we got our first ferrets from WFRS, I volunteered at the shelter cle

I have been adopting from this shelter for more than 10 years. They are diligent about screening new adoptions. I was grateful they were as detailed and careful as they were with the questions they ask. They even had me submit evidence that I was permitted to have ferrets in my home. They care deeply about the ferrets and want them placed in the best possible and safest home. Kudos to work they do to ensure the care and welfare of the animals they protect! I highly recommend them, but be patient with the process :)
