Our Featured Fuzzbutts:

Daphne is a 2 year 4 month old sable female & Dora is a 3 year 3 month old old albino female. These two are such great girls! Daphne loves to play soccer with empty plastic easter eggs and any little ball she can find. Dora is a very sweet and cuddly ferret, she really likes to snuggle. They get along well with other ferrets. Come meet them this weekend. This duo's adoption fee is $175 and you can come meet them during our hours every Saturday from 10am-4pm.

Adopting a Friend:

The Washington Ferret Rescue and Shelter has many ferrets available for adoption. Most of our ferrets are healthy, lovable, easy-going pets that would be great for a first-time ferret owner. Some of the fuzzies are sick or have behavioral problems and are only suitable for placement with experienced ferret owners. Whatever your needs, our Adoption Advisors will be happy to help you find the ideal match!

There is an adoption fee for each ferret which ranges from $100 for one ferret to $150 for two. The fee is used to help pay for some of the Shelter's operating expenses. Supplies and equipment for 70+ ferrets adds up quickly, especially since many of the Shelter's inhabitants are elderly or chronically ill.

If things don't work out for you and your ferret, the shelter will always take the ferret back, regardless of the circumstances. The adoption fee is refundable up to 7 days.

We do ask that prospective adopters fill out an Adoption Application & our Adoption Contract when adopting ferrets from us.

All ferrets have been vaccinated against Canine Distemper, Rabies and are spayed/neutered and descented (the latter is unless otherwise indicated). They have also been treated for fleas, earmites, have had their teeth inspected and cleaned where necessary and have been bathed if needed.
