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!

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.

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.
