The Rescue
Snails House is a ferret rescue based out of Washington State that cares for animals brought in from all over the United States. We specifically seek out animals that have dire medical needs, are victims of abuse or neglect, or cannot otherwise be taken care of by their owners. We do not adopt animals out and do not accept donations of any kind.
Environment
Ferrets start to have complications at around 80F/26.6C or above as they cannot regulate their body temperature well. The rescue is kept at 60-65F/15.5-18.3C at all times due to this. We have a main AC unit, a backup AC unit, and a backup generator in case the power goes out. This climate controlled environment is very important especially for the older ones.
We're currently working on building the largest ferret rescue in the United States. This new building will boast a capacity of 200-250 under the same conditions our current rescue offers.
Staff
We currently have two staff members that work Full-Time and Part-Time respectively. Shaye is our Full-Time caretaker and works as an Exotic Vet Assistant Part-Time outside of that. Maddie is a Part-Time caretaker and helps assist Shaye in daily activities. Together they run the rescue while Thor helps do the business management outside of that.
As we move forward and build the new rescue building we will need to ramp up on staff so stay tuned for that!
Funding
The entire rescue is run off of ad revenue from our Twitch and YouTube streams accessible from the links on the navigation bar above. Tens of thousands of people from around the world watch them every day and the ads that play on those streams pay for absolutely everything. Thank you for watching and supporting what we do.
