About Us
We are a home-based rescue. We opened our doors in response to discovering that one of the local county pounds didn't accept ferrets. This was leaving owners that need to find a new home fast with few alternatives. Navarre Ferret Rescue focuses on helping those ferrets that find themselves in county shelters as well as offering a safe place to surrender a ferret to give it time to find a permanent home. We also work to promote proper husbandry of ferrets based on the latest research. We also welcome emails for advice on how to deal with difficult behaviors so the owners can find a way to train the ferret and be able to keep him/her.
We have also partnered with an experienced dog rescuer and now include a strong dog rescue branch of N.F.R.. Isabelle heads the dog branch and is the one that started my active involvement in animal rescue before I started the Navarre Ferret Rescue. We are thrilled to have her and her fosters aboard and look forward to saving as many animals as we can.

A big thank you to Joey T and Family for their donation in honor of their ferret who also was afflicted towards the end of his life. Their donation made it possible to purchase Jupiter's Deslorin implant. He has adrenal disease and this implant is very helpful in slowing the cancer and providing him a good quality of life. Jupiter is feeling better and we have been able to reunite him with his buddies.
Dogs: You can see the dog rescues at http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/FL1151.html

PetSmart: PetSmart is a big supporter of NFDR. We often visit the Pace store for adoptions and to buy supplies. Gift cards to PetSmart will be a big help on our next trip. Purchase at the Pace store and ask management to hold it for Navarre Ferret and Dog Rescue or contact us for a mailing address.
Hare Today, Gone Tomorrow: We highly recommend their raw grinds with muscle meat, organs, and bones. We feed this to as many of the ferrets as we can convert. As many of you know, this method is one of the most natural feeding methods and help reduce the risk of insolinoma. Our favorite source for salmon oil is Hare Today. We welcome gifted cards! https://www.hare-today.com/index.php?cPath=26
Amazon Wish List: We now have a wish list posted on Amazon that includes the foods that we are currently feeding and other supplies that we are in need of, such as carnivore care and probios for our cancer guys. If you prefer to send items directly, this is a great way to do so.
Tractor Supply: As you can imagine, we clean a lot of litter boxes. Our main litter of choice is Pellet Horse Bedding. Shipping is very expensive, but gift cards are a great way to help us keep our little carpet sharks clean.
