 February
05, 2000: Warm Fuzzy Frolic, Leesport, PA. Metro
Ferret Sponsored the Social Security Ferret Ring, and had a vendor table manned
by volunteers, to raise money for ferret shelter support. A great time was
had by all!!
March
18, 2000: NJ Animal Welfare Federation Conference, Somerset, NJ. Metro
Ferret was invited to this wonderful education event. We maintained a
table manned by volunteers, and distributed more than 1500 copies of ferret care
information. A wonderful day, we met wonderful people, and were refreshed
with innovative ideas for our cause, helping domestic ferrets.
March
25, 2000: AFA Ferret Show, Pennsauken, NJ. Metro Ferret sponsored the
Shelter Specialty Ring, so that all of those wonderful Shelter Ferrets won a
ribbon that they so well deserve. Our Club's table was manned by a handful of
great volunteers. We met lots of great people, handed out lots of
ferret information, and had two nice raffles, a basket and a picture, which
helped us raise funds to buy more supplies for the shelters.
March
26, 2000: Vaccination Clinic, Pet Co., Eatontown, NJ. Metro
Ferret attended this reduced price rabies/distemper clinic on Sunday, at
1:00. Although we only met two or three ferret owners, we were successful
in preventing a tragedy in the making. A person who previously adopted
from a shelter, and SIGNED A CONTRACT TO RETURN THE FERRETS TO THE SHELTER FOR
ANY REASON, tried to give the ferrets away to a man with 4 highly aggressive pit
bulls at home. Two of our club members were on hand, and they intercepted
this transaction just in time. The ferrets are now safely back at the
shelter, where the man should have brought them in the first place. Please
remember, you are liable to abide by a contract that you sign, and do the right
thing.
