Mostly by accident There is a yahoo group ferret shelter_counsil @yahoogroups.com who are just a group of us who share ideas and what not. They're in the process of setting up a mentoring program for people wanting to get into the whole shelter thing. I'm not a shelter by their standards but a hospice/shelter. I'm also very small. Counting my fosters I only have about 25 ferts in the system. I wish you luck, it's very rewarding but burnout is terrible if you can't distance yourself from some of the horrors you have to deal with. This shelter group allows us to sometimes burn off steam at careless owners, disgusting gov't bylaws and offers hints on how to help make your shelter succeed without killing you Good luck ciao
