Motley Zoo accepts online donations, no matter how big or small. It's also offering the virtual Rockstar Run for Rescue to benefit the shelter. You can choose from a 3.1-mile walk/run or a bike ride.

Washington Ferret Rescue & Shelter

The Washington Ferret Rescue was born when a small group of animal lovers decided to open a shelter nearly fifteen years ago. Today, it houses over 150 ferrets in multiple locations, including at the central adoption facility. The rescue is no-kill, and the animals receive around-the-clock care.
