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 (volunteers) 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 $175 for two. The fee is used to help pay for some of the Shelter's operating expenses. Supplies and equipment for 70+ ferrets (which we have had in the past!) 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 & our Adoption Contract when adopting ferrets from us. We try to get an info sheet on each incoming surrender if possible, so that we can later pass that info on to you. If you'd like to review any of the documents, simply click on the link to look at them.

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.

Need more info? Please see our About Ferrets page and print out our Ferret Care Brochure. Need a cage? We can help with that too! If you have any questions, we are here to help, so please feel free to call us or send us an email anytime!

Some ferrets arrive at the Shelter with a cage-mate, and the pair cannot be broken up for the sake of the fuzzies' emotional health. If this is the case, or if a ferret requires some kind of special care, it will be indicated. If you have any questions about the fuzzies, please send us an email.
