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.

Support Our Shelters' Blizzard Memorial Fund is pleased to help Apollo at Furever Ferrets Sanctuary with his veterinary care. The Blizzard Memorial Fund was created with the help of Blizzard's Dad, Mark Sonder, to aid those ferrets who were severely neglected and abused.
In Apollo's case he was sadly injured and neglected, then in pain left in a small hamster cage. But now he is in loving and caring hands. Blizzard's Memorial Fund is there to help ferrets go on to live happy lives. SOS hopes that Apollo will have that chance.
Special thanks to our supporters, Blizzard's Dad, Mark Sonder, and to shelter mom, Dawn for being there for Apollo.

Support Our Shelters would like to help two shelters at once. S.O.S' shelters do you use Diane's Dry Dook Soup or Barb's Poopin' Pumpkin and have shelter ferrets in need of either one?
Please send us a message and S.O.S will see what we can do to get an order sent that will help you and the shelters who offer these great items that help support them.
As always thank you supporters for helping us help shelter ferrets.

There are still shelter ferrets on the 2024 Giving Tree looking for Santas. SOS will continue to send food and treats to the shelters listed there but if anyone can send bedding or toys to make the holidays happy for these little companions who are still looking for their own loving home it is appreciated, and it could be the last Christmas for some of them.
If you would like to help us, you can visit the SOS website and use the PayPal donate button there since there some issue with the donate button on FB. If you have a certain shelter you want to help, please make a note and remember your donations to Support Our Shelters are tax deductible as allowed by law. Thanks for helping shelters ferrets!

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.
