The Alberta Ferret Society (AFS) is a non-profit, charitable organization, founded in 1997 and operated by a province-wide network of devoted ferret-wise volunteers.

The primary objectives of the Alberta Ferret Society are:

• To promote the health and well-being of the domestic ferret (mustela putorius furo).
• To provide a rescue and adoption service specifically for ferrets, in order to compliment and lessen the strain on other animal welfare organizations.
• To find safe, healthy and caring adoptive homes for sheltered ferrets.
• To provide medical treatment, rehabilitation or when necessary, long-term care for sheltered ferrets that are too traumatized, elderly or ill to be easily adopted.
• To provide education on the care and handling of the domestic ferret to all people, organizations and businesses with an interest in ferrets.
• To promote proper veterinary care for ferrets through contact with veterinary clinics and associations.
• To represent and promote the best interest of ferrets at a provincial and local government level.
