POLAR
POLAR IS A 4 YR OLD FERRET WHO WAS SURRENDERED TO FERRET DREAMS SO THAT WE COULD TREAT HIM

| LEE VISITS WITH ARCHIE AT HIS FOSTER HOME |
ARCHIE WAS DISQUALIFIED AT A LOCAL HUMANE SOCIETY BECAUSE OF HIS CHRONIC STOMACH AILMENTS.
HE WAS TRANSFERRED TO FERRET DREAMS SO THAT HE CAN BEGIN TREATMENT FROM OUR MEDICAL FUND. HE IS WITH ALAN, WHO IS ALSO
FOSTERING TASHA AND RILEY. AS SOON AS ARCHIE IS DONE WITH HIS MEDICATION AND FEELING BETTER, WE WILL TAKE THE NEXT STEP
IN PLACING HIM IN A CARING HOME.
TASHA AKA LIL NIBBLER & RILEY

| TASHA & RILEY TAKING A WELL DESERVED BREAK FROM THERAPY CLASS |
UPDATED - FEBRUARY 1
TASHA IS A 10 MONTH OLD FERRET WHO IS PARALYZED. SHE HAS NO REAR LEG MOVEMENT.
SHE WAS INJURED IN A FALL AND HER OWNERS COULD NOT AFFORD ANY MEDICAL TREATMENT. THEY CONTACTED US HERE AT FERRET DREAMS
SO THAT WE COULD GIVE HER THE MEDICAL ATTENTION SHE NEEDS. SHE VISITED OUR VET ON OCT 19TH. OUR VET FOUND NO BROKEN
BONES BUT BELIEVES THAT SHE INDEED DOES HAVE A SPINAL CORD INJURY. THERE IS HOPE THAT WITH PHYSICAL THERAPY, SHE WILL
GAIN STRENGTH AND MOVEMENT IN HER BACK LEGS. WE'LL KEEP YOU UPDATED ON HER PROGRESS.
THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR EMAILS, PHONE CALLS, THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS FOR TASHA. SHE
REALLY APPRECIATES IT.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HELP US WITH HER CARE, PLEASE CLICK ON THE DONATE BUTTON ABOVE OR CONTACT
US HERE AT FERRET DREAMS.
UPDATE FEB 1 - TASHA'S PROGRESS HAS BEEN SLOW BUT A NEW
SPARK WAS ADDED TO HER LIFE AND HER ROUTINE.
RILEY, A YOUNG FERRET WHO JUST RECENTLY LOST HER CAGEMATE PRESTON DUE TO ADRENAL DISEASE,
HAS TURNED OUT TO BE A BLESSING. SHE NEEDED A PLAYMATE AND WE DECIDED TO TRANSFER HER TO BOULDER TO BE WITH TASHA.
OUR HOPE IS THAT HAVING ANOTHER YOUNG PLAYFUL FERRET AROUND WILL TEACH TASHA HOW TO RUN AND PLAY AGAIN. THE TWO BECAME
BEST BUDDIES ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AND NOW TASHA AND RILEY ARE WRESTLING AND CHASING EACH OTHER AROUND THE HOUSE. TASHA
IS DEFINITELY MORE ACTIVE AND HOPEFULLY SHE WILL NOW LEARN TO USE HER REAR LEGS AGAIN. WE AREN'T GIVING UP ON HER.
WE STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT RILEY HAS LIFTED HER SPIRITS AND SHE MIGHT JUST BE THE KEY TO HER FUTURE.
