About Frisco's Friends Ferret Rescue and Sanctuary
Our Vision
At Frisco's Friends Ferret Rescue and Sanctuary, our vision is to be able to provide a safe, loving environment for any ferret in need. We hope to be able to provide vet care, a proper diet and to reassure each ferret of the love they deserve.
Our Rescue
Frisco's Friends Rescue is a 501(c)3, nonprofit organization. This rescue is operated from our own home. For that reason we are open by appointment only. The ferrets are free roam and not confined to cages. They enjoy ample playtime inside and outside in there secure yard. We are a no kill shelter meaning that no ferret will ever be killed because there are too many.
What we hope to achieve
Not all of the ferrets will move forward into adoption. Our senior ferrets, and those with severe medical needs, will remain here with us for the duration of their lives. Ultimately, the goal is to be able to place ferrets with foster families or in forever homes. We hope to help in educating others in the very specific care that ferrets require. We love seeing their happy endings. We love to watch them thrive, trust and bond.
How It all started
Our Story
On the night of February 14th 2022, a single ferret wandered into our home through the doggy door in the backyard. It was a -20 degree night. There was 5 feet of snow in the backyard. Frisco, as we named him later, found his way past our dogs, past our cats and under our bed. It was the next morning, as we made our bed, that we found him standing there. We were shocked and excited at the same time. We called the local animal control that morning to report finding him. We called the humane society, local vets, pet stores and made social media posts in search of his owners. For 30 days nobody claimed this beautiful, gentle boy. When we reported back to the animal control we were told we could keep him. We had already fallen in love and couldn't see letting him go. Frisco has since past on. He leaves a beautiful legacy in his namesake.
