FerretsFirst

March 29, 2007 at 11:07 am by J*B*

The Super Pet Expo wasn’t only about dogs and cats. It was also about other slippery, scaly, and fuzzy pets, like ferrets for example. These frisky, little fellows were strutting their stuff at the FerretsFirst booth, and darn it if I didn’t come close to adopting one myself. Oh, Dave would have looooooooved that!

FerretsFirst is a no-kill shelter and rescue located in Northern Virginia (Yeah, NOVA!). Their goal is to provide homeless ferrets with a warm, loving environment and medical care while nurturing their individual needs and personality until a permanent home can be found.

Is it me, or do you kinda dig ferrets and their musky, weird smell, too. Stephanie (shown above with one of her buddies, Murphy), one of the friendly volunteers at FerretsFirst, shared my fondness for ferrets, and pondered aloud why some ferrets smell like corn chips while others smell like peanut butter. Hmmm… I don’t know about that one, Stephanie. I’ll have to get back to you!

Stop by the FerretsFirst website, and check out the little critters available for adoption, like Hunter, Smokey, Tabitha and many more.
