SnoopyDear Santa,

 

Merry Christmas Santa.  How are your elves and reindeer? I hope everyone is ready for the big trip coming soon.  My name is Snoopy and I am almost 3 years old. I am so dookstatic to be writing to you.  Some of the other ferrets at the shelter were dook-dook-dooking at me, because they don’t believe in you.  Many of us have some bad memories about things that happened to us before we were rescued and I think you

 just couldn’t find us those bad years.  I told all those dooking fuzzies that I will be

the one really dooking on Christmas Day when you bring me some special presents.  Santa, I could use a special sleep box so foster mom says that they are good for strengthening my legs so I can practice doing ferrety things.  I also love thick, soft blankets to wrap myself in while
 I dream of getting my own

family.  Since we have cold winters up here, sleep sacs and maybe some cuddle cups would be nice for the other ferrets in my shelter. could bring some healthy treats and some small toys but only if you have enough for everyone else. Our shelter could use some money help since there are over 50 of us to care for.  I will share anything that you send me.

Thank you so much Santa for helping me and making my friends believers in magical things.

                                                 

Snoopy is a special ferret who has captured the hearts of all who have
met him, cuddled him and heard his sad story. It seems he started his furry life the hard way......he was the runt of his litter and pushed around by his siblings. When he was purchased from the pet store, he was abused, starved and frightened by the new owner before being brought back.  A family that was buying the last of Snoopy's siblings took our little friend in, saving him from a worse fate.  The families' good intentions gave Snoopy shelter and a companion but that was not enough. He spent two long years coping with his neurological disabilities as best he could.   For over a year now he's enjoyed special playtimes that enrich and encourage him to be more like a ferret.  He has a special pen without stairs as stairs leave him behind because he is unable to climb. Extra special food is available so Snoopy never feels he is starving again.   

 

Our shelter is a non-profit shelter that depends on the kindness of individuals like you.  Our Vet bill was in excess of $ 10,000.00 this year and since we are a no-kill facility, our ferrets get the best care possible for as long as they need it. Please help us continue caring for all fuzzies who need our care.
