I have had all kinds of animals at one time or another. Ferret, birds, cats, dogs, bunnies. I can not stand to see an animal abanded. I have to rescue them . I have a Rhodesian ridgeback/Shepard I rescued 2 years ago when he was abanded at 3 days old. I also have 3 cats and a ferret. 2 of those cats I found under my neighbors shed. Mom was hit by a car and died. I raised all her babies (6). Kept 2 adopted out the others to good homes.
