Helping the Lakeroad Ferret Shelter!

Help Our Shelter
Illustration by Sue Burda

This page will help you to know where our shelter has needs and how you can help if you so desire. It will depict all the raffles and campaign going at any one time. The picture above is an illustration especially done by our shelter friend Sue Burda. If you think that is cute go look in the Ferret Items For Humans, Shirts and Clothing department for more of her whimsical ferret characters.

Copy/printer Paper
Card Stock Paper 
Envelopes
Loose Leaf Rings 1 ¼”
Postage stamps for thank you notes from the kids

Glue Sticks

The glue that is used on mailing envelopes has gluten in it, so when mum licks it she gets sick. She had me liking them for a while but they are nasty tasking and mum would not sweeten it up with ferretone so I refuse to lick them any more! Mum now uses glue sticks to seal all the envelopes she puts our thank you cards in.
