"Hi! My name is Snail. I am very friendly, curious, and social, and so I really need another ferret or two to get up to my rigorously scheduled trouble. I have a lot of energy for chase and dangle games, war dancing, and petty theft/redecorating. Oh, and I love to dig -- for play and bedding both, I really enjoy caves and sacks, or to dig down into loose blankets. I will lose my whole mind in a rice box.
I really love to be handled and to have my little ears petted. I will absolutely try to climb up onto your shoulder to lick you right on the nose any chance I get, and like to snooze in a lap after a day of adventures. I have so much energy and love to give."
Snail originally came to us after she had been found wandering the streets in Brooklyn, NYC and it was obvious she had been loved and must have gotten away from someone because she was exceptionally friendly right away. She was only with us a few weeks before she was adopted by a loving family who already had ferrets. Snail quickly became friends with them and was having a ball! She was with her family for about 3 years before her ferret siblings both passed and Snail became very lonely, so she's now on the lookout for new friends with a new family!
If you are interested in adopting Snail, the first step would be to fill out an adoption application for her on our website, waywardranch.org, or let us know if you have any questions!

More about this rescue
Our Mission: To provide a quality life to the animals that need it most.
Wayward Ranch Animal Sanctuary, Inc. is a 501c3, tax exempt non-profit organization and all donations to our sanctuary are tax deductible.
The Dream:
Wayward Ranch was founded by three friends who, after working for other rescues for a long time, realized there was something missing from the average rescue model. No animal is perfect, and in the typical shelter system any behavioral concerns an animal had coming in are just exacerbated the longer they are kenneled or caged waiting for a home.
Many local shelters have taken to shipping puppies up from the south because they are more “adoptable” than the shelter animals we have here. However, this just floods are market and takes homes and resources from our local animals who are suffering as a result.
We are committed to a different type of rescue experience. We are a unique combination of adoption and sanctuary facility, taking the pressure of euthanasia away from animals who may not be generically adoptable. We also help our animals thrive, rather than deteriorate, as they wait for forever homes using a combination of enrichment and training techniques.
