Welcome to the Washington Ferret Rescue and Shelter, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. We are a no-kill shelter caring for ferrets in the Puget Sound area. The shelter is located in Kirkland, Washington and was founded by Liane Beckwith.

WFRS always has ferrets ready for adoption, and is always willing to take in any ferret in need of a home. Please send us an email or contact someone by phone if you need to place your ferrets or are interested in adopting.

Before you consider adopting a ferret, please spend some time reading about them. You'll find some great information on our About Ferrets page.
