adoption

Heart of Ohio Ferret Association

Heart of Ohio Ferret Association is currently seeking loving foster parents to support the many homeless ferrets being surrendered into our shelter, until they find their forever homes. 

What does fostering entail? As a foster parent, you will be responsible for day to day care of the ferrets- cage cleaning, grooming, feeding, socializing, and playtime- and then choosing a suitable adoptive family when the time comes. All food, litter, and medical expenses will be paid for by HOFA- you provide the love! 

Why foster a ferret? Aren't sure a ferret is the right pet for you? Fostering is a great way to test ferret ownership before committing to adoption. Maybe you'd like to have ferrets but can't afford them? Then fostering would be an ideal choice! If you've ever fallen in love with a ferret, fostering a ferret in need will be one of your most rewarding experiences. And the more foster parents we have, the more ferrets we can rescue, rehabilitate, and find wonderful permanent homes for.

Where can I sign up! If you're up to the challenge and the joy of being a foster parent, or have any questions about fostering, you can email our Shelter Chair at hofashelterchair@yahoo.com, or our President at hofapres@yahoo.com, OR leave us a message at (614) 428-0279.

HOFA Rescue members and guest speakers share the latest facts on quality ferret care, housing, health tips, nutrition, behavioral management, research data, rescue shelters, vets who are experienced in ferret medicine and ferret products through newsletters, ferret shows, meetings, seminars, and clinics.

​Guests and curious individuals​​ thinking about membership and all ferret owners are welcome!
