Small Animal Rescues Filling To Capacity | | |  | | Some shelters have seen an increase in small pets coming in from owners who are becoming financially displaced from their homes. | By Rachael Brugger

Home foreclosures and a tough economy and adding to the number of smalls pet relinquished. There’s no doubt, 2008 has been a tough economic year. Rising food costs, high gas prices and home foreclosures have put a dent in the lives of Americans who are keeping a tight watch on their pocketbooks. From what many small animal rescue organizations have seen, people who are becoming financially displaced from their homes are facing a crisis as to what to do with their small pets. “In the last eight months we have seen an increasing number of people who are showing up at shelters, who are calling at the very last day when they are having to leave their home and they are just bringing their animals to the shelter,” said Heather Bechtel, director of Rabbit Haven and Cavy House in Santa Cruz, California. “It’s between their ability to get a roof over their heads and have animal companions.” | Recommend this article... |

In June, about 100 ferret enthusiasts from across
the United States arrived at Rocky’s
Ferret Rescue And Shelter in Maryland to celebrate Ferretstock
2008. This annual fundraising event for the shelter takes place at
the 130-acre farm and can last for a weekend. It began in 1998 as a
simple social gathering. Barb Clay, director of shelter affairs, said it
was exciting to greet guests one by one, see old friends and meet new
ones. “We were honored to have representation from the president
of Ferrets Anonymous and CDFEA, April from Totally Ferret, and about
12 shelter operators.” Recommend this article... |

URGENT! North East Animal Sanctuary under threat! |

An animal sanctuary
in Willington, County Durham is under threat of closure! This would
mean the loss of 45 acres of land and the destruction of the animals
looked after at the sanctuary by Paula Campbell. She needs to raise £25,000
in just less than 2 weeks or she will be evicted and the sanctuary
and animals lost.
A benefit
is being held at the Angel Inn pub on Tuesday (22nd July) by local
band Diablo 66 in an attempt to raise some of the money needed to save
this sanctuary.
It's a lot of money to raise in a short amount of time, but IT IS
NOT IMPOSSIBLE!! As one member of the band said to me last night "If everyone just does something,
tries their best then we'll be able to save it". The same goes for almost
anything. Recommend this article... |

Why we chose a furry different pet |

Coventry Telegraph
NOT everyone fancies a cat or a dog as a pet.
More and more households are turning to exotic animals to satisfy their
desire for creature companionship.
From snakes and spiders to ferrets and lizards, these creatures are
attracting legions of fans.
* Ferrets
ROSE MORRIS'S first ferret had the diet of a king, or a boxer, take
your pick.
Steak and eggs it was for the aptly named Tyson (after the prizefighter
pugilist who famously bit off an opponent's ear) even though this high-protein
combination is about as far removed as possible from correct ferret food.
Two decades ago ferret keeping, purely as a pet, was in its infancy. Recommend this article... |
