conan

This is Conan who sadly recently lost his friend, Buster.  They were placed thru the rescue two times over several years, and for the usual reasons, came back.  He now has other friends and is a really nice boy.  He could use a Deslorelin implant and as you can see, loves big fuzzy blankets.  He is quite the ham!

angel

Angel is a very special little girl.  I got a very distressed call from an owner many hours away that had a very sick ferret, no money and no ferret vet near by.  Luckily, transport was arranged and I expected the worst.  What I got was a bright-eyed skeleton whose rear leg had been broken and some point.   She sleeps with this leg behind her head at times.   She gets around great and took my heart right away.  I took her into work, ran bloodwork and started her on various meds.  Within the next week, I had a new ferret and though she’s had one or two episodes of diarrhea, she’s doing great.  She loves to run backwards with ping pong balls.  She also loves any small toy that is safe for infants.

harley

Harley is a beautiful, petite black roan mitt.   Her owner lost her home and had to surrender all 4 ferrets.  She and her friend, Taz, are older but still active.  She loves large hammocks that swallow her up!!  She also is a ferretone addict.  She is on the surgery list for a large mass on the back of her neck.

panda

Panda came in recently with another ferret that I placed several years ago and the owner could no longer care for them.  He had to have his eye removed due to a severe infection, but that hasn’t slowed him down.  He is on pred for insulinoma and has recently developed adrenal disease.  He’s on the list for a Deslorelin implant.  He loves to run thru tubes and loves ping pong balls.

destiny

Destiny is an older girl that gets along with others.  She was found as a stray and is so sweet.  She is on pred for insulinoma.   She loves  large cuddle sacks  to share with her other friends.

bob

Bob has a sad story.  His owner lost his home and could no longer care for Bob (or himself).  He was supposed to be about 1 year old, but I suspect he is a bit older.  He lives with a group of 3 others and plays well with another group of 3.  Recently, he’s become a bit aggressive and is on the list for a Deslorelin implant.

rice

Rice was found in Lancaster, Pa with a group of 3 others.  She was VERY thin and bloodwork showed that she has insulinoma.  She has since gained weight and is doing much better.  She’s quite active and likes everyone.

jack

Jack was turned into Animal Control (with Jill).  He was supposed to be 2 but he’s more like 5!!   He has adrenal disease and insulinoma so he’s on a bunch of medicine.  He gets along great with his group and any others!

diablo

Diablo came up from Florida 3 years ago and has had a coughing issue.  He’s had an echo and bloodwork, but nothing seems abnormal.  He plays a lot and likes everyone.  He has adrenal disease  and will soon need another Deslorelin implant.

pita and doo dah

Doo Dah is another special one that was dropped off to Animal Control-no name- nothing.  I estimate him to have been born about 2004.  He has had a couple strange problems over the last couple years.  He had the regular things-adrenal and insulinoma.  But for the last year, once every 3-4 weeks, he has a huge liver cyst drained.  We get between 50 and 100cc of fluid each time.  Surgery would involve removing part of the liver and he’s not in good enough shape.  He also had a chordoma near the base of his tail that was removed so now he has no tail!!
