critters in the Shelter.
An
old man was walking along a beach after a particularly high and
violent tide had receded, leaving thousands of starfish stranded
above the waterline to die. Up ahead of him, he saw a youth
repeatedly bend
down, stand, then fling something into the waves. Coming
closer, he saw that the youth was tossing starfish back into the ocean. "Why bother?" the old man told the
youth. "There are thousands here. You can't toss them all back
before they die. You can't even toss a small fraction of them back
in time. What you're doing doesn't matter." The youth pondered
what the man said for a moment, looking at the starfish he held in
his hand. |

greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by
the way its animals are treated." Rescue ONE until If you or someone you know plans to surrender a pet to a municipal type shelter, please click here. Please don't

Special Update VISITS:
In The Before Time, we used
to have Open
House events most Sundays. Open House dates are for folks
to visit the shelter to play with the
critters, bring their ferrets for a playdate, or if they're
interested in adopting, to have a first visit after applying to
adopt. We closed for normal visits mid-March of
2020. We'll be opening up for regular Open House and other
visit dates soon - stay tuned! If anyone in your household is immuno-compromised, here's info you should know: we've been extremely careful all through the pandemic to keep Covid out of our household. Ferrets are an excellent Covid vector, so we always require masking, and - since they've been available - vaccinations. However, Shelter Dad Alex is a grade school teacher. While his school has been better than most with pandemic precautions, his job does make it more likely that Covid will come to our home on any given day. We've also continued to take in surrenders all through the pandemic. FYI for those who need to know! We're always here for advice, just remember to always CALL in to the shelter if the need is urgent! |
