I am a second year vet student who has owned animals my entire life. I currently own a ferret and I am in a position to look after not only small dogs and puppies, but also ferrets, rabbits, mice, rats, birds and any other small critter who is part of your family! My yard is escape proof! I am home most days so your pet will not be left for hours alone and will have a bouncy ferret to keep it company....
