An old man was walking along a beach after a particularly high and violent tide had receded, leaving thousands of starfish stranded above the waterline to die. Ahead of him he saw a youth, bending down and then standing to fling something into the waves. Coming closer, he saw the youth was tossing starfish back into the ocean where they had a chance to live. "Why bother?" the old man told the youth. "There are thousands here. You can't toss them all back before they die. You can't even toss a small fraction of them back in time. What you're doing doesn't matter." The youth pondered that a moment, looking at the starfish he held in his hand. "It matters to this one," he replied, and threw it back into the water.	"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." - Gandhi If you or someone you know plans to surrender a pet to a municipal type (aka "Kill") Shelter, please click here.

2010 Weezil Wash Fundraiser!

Well now, we planned to have a month long fundraiser (scheduled to run during June, 2010) to raise $1000 for a new washer and dryer for the Shelter, but would you believe we far exceeded our goal in only 5 short days? Hooray - and thanks so much to all our generous supporters! The fundraiser also gave donors a chance to win a $50 Visa Gift Card. We hit our goal so fast we figured we should just wrap up the fundraiser early and draw our winner, which we did at our June 6 Open House. To see who donated and won the gift card click here. Thanks again everyone!

Over the past 10 years MCF has rescued more than 780 ferrets!
