While you are relaxing after a holiday meal, please head over to FFFAH and check out the great items there. You can find eggies and Lotto sleep pods for your furkids and lots of unique items for yourself. This wonderful group supports the artist and a different shelter of the week during the two-week auctions. There is still a few more days to shop and bid for Support Our Shelters (SOS) and there is a free prize giveaway that anyone in the group can enter to win. It's easy to join the group and browse.
Thank you to the group for hosting SOS and special thanks goes out to our donors and our loyal regular donors, Sandy, Michaela, Erica, and to Mark Sonders for his contributions to the Blizzard Memorial Fund. We couldn't help shelter ferrets without you!

Happy Holidays!!

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!

Support Our Shelters is pleased to have donated 100 Melatonin Implants to SOS shelters to help those little ones who suffer from Adrenal Disease. It's thanks to our supporters that we are able to do this. If you are thinking about year end tax planning, please consider donating to SOS or one of the other great ferret causes. If your favorite shelter doesn't have their own 501c3 you can donate through SOS and we will provide them with food, vaccines, Melatonin Implants or vet bill help and you will receive a donation receipt for tax purposes. Donations to SOS are tax deductible as allowed by law.

Together we can make a difference to ferrets!

Because of you our supporters, SOS' Blizzard Memorial Fund has been able to help on the cost of veterinarian care for Didacus at Ferret Dreams Rescue. The Blizzard Memorial Fund was founded to help little ones like Didacus who have been a victim of neglect and abuse. Little Didacus was abandoned in the snow and unable to walk. Special thanks to our donors, to Ferret Dreams Rescue and all ferret rescue shelters who are there to help and give their all for these special little companions.
Thank you all for making a difference to a ferret!

I created this fundraiser to honor the memory of Judith White, SOS founder. I hope you will join me in making a difference to shelter ferrets and in remembering Judith for her dedication to helping homeless ferrets and the shelter operators who care for them.

I'm still trying to find the right words and a way to honor and do justice to the memory of Judith White, our founder, but hopefully those of you who have been helped by SOS know what a huge difference and impact Judith made by founding this group and know that countless shelter ferrets have been helped through it. So, it is with great sadness that I must let you know that Judith suddenly passed away.
Some of you who were on the Ferret Mailing List in the early days will remember Judith volunteered to head up a group to help raise funds for shelter ferrets in need. She was the driving force behind Support Our Shelters, and I hope she will be remembered for the kind giving person she was and for all she did for shelter ferrets and for the difference she made to them and the shelter operators who give their all for them.

If you like, please pick a ferret shelter and do something nice for them today in honor of Judith White.

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.
