Ferret Shelter Northwest's adoption process

Additional adoption info

We charge no fees for adoption, but have a comprehensive questionnaire to determine suitability. We specialize in caring for mostly un-adoptable ferrets, like those with medical conditions, behavioral problems, or those that had been past victims of abuse, but occasionally get in adoptable ferrets.

About Ferret Shelter Northwest

We specialize in caring for mostly un-adoptable ferrets, like those with medical conditions, behavioral problems, or those that had been past victims of abuse.
We are actually more of a hospice for older and/or medically challenged, but otherwise vital, ferrets.

Ferret Shelter Northwest's adopted pets

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in Vashon, WA.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
