Emmy is THE Rebel Mink, and her story is probably (definitely) not going to fit within the character limit, so check the replies as well.

Emmy is mischief incarnate, and of course is another Utah fur farm industry survivor. All our mink are self-escapees: they broke out of jail on their own.
This is Emmy the mink. She is shown in a side profile, with her head turned slightly upward. Her fur is a soft, creamy beige color, and her pink nose stands out brightly against her light coat. Her eyes are a warm reddish-brown, catching the light. Long white whiskers fan out from her muzzle. Her small rounded ears sit low on her head, blending into her smooth fur. She appears to be standing on or beside a person’s leg, with part of a denim fabric visible. In the background, there’s a piece of natural wood and a couple of white PVC tunnel pieces.

Lysander is another Utah farm survivor, found as a sub-adult in a residential back yard. Missing his left ear and inflicted with nystagmus, he likely suffered some type of head trauma on the farm or after he escaped.

Now, he is a very spoiled but polite gentleman who likes plush bunnies.
This is Lysander the mink (he/him). He is facing the camera with his mouth open, showing small sharp teeth, giving him an expressive, happy look. His fur is a light silvery-gray color, and he has a soft pink nose. His eyes appear reddish-brown, reflecting the camera flash. Notably, Lysander is missing his left ear- only the right ear is visible, rounded and fur-covered. He is surrounded by straw bedding, with some darker fabric visible to the side, creating a cozy enclosure.

Smaug was found as an orphaned kit, to a mum who had escaped a Utah fur farm but was unable to survive in the wild feeding her young. Smaug was sadly found next to her body, crying, the only survivor.

Now he is a spoiled teddy bear with sharp fangs and claws.
This is Smaug the mink. He is standing on a bed of reddish-brown wood chips. His fur is glossy black, and he has a small white patch on his chin that stands out against his dark coat. His round ears are set low on his head, and he is looking directly at the camera with bright, shiny eyes. His front paws are slightly forward, giving him an alert, curious posture. The background is softly blurred, making Smaug the clear focus of the image.

Wolfie is such a huge fat FLOOF right now!

Wolfie and Ranger were surrendered in 2024. They were purchased from Petco, but the buyer's husky wanted to eat them. Rather than returning them, they contacted MMR and surrendered them 💗
This image shows Wolfie the ferret outdoors among fallen autumn leaves and green grass. He has a dark brown coat with creamy markings on his face and neck, and his small pink nose has a little spot of dirt on it. Wolfie is wearing a black harness, and a hand is gently resting on his back as he looks up with bright, curious eyes. The scene feels calm and natural, capturing a moment of exploration and companionship during an outdoor adventure.

Emmy enjoys quail eggs, but she's also obsessed with quail egg CARTONS, so I'm not sure what her motivation is here. Hunger for a yummy treat, or obsession with her precious cartons? Probably both.
This image shows Emmy the mink, a cream-colored mink with reddish eyes and a pink nose, caught in a mischievous moment. She’s standing upright on her hind legs, gripping a plastic container of quail eggs with her front paws and trying to bite into it. The quail eggs are speckled brown and white, clearly tempting her curiosity. Emmy’s soft fur and bright expression stand out against the dark purple blanket beneath her, which is patterned with golden moons and stars. The scene is playful and full of personality, capturing Emmy’s spirited and clever nature.

PLEASE READ!
Justice has moved slowly in WY, but it is moving. In Feb 2024, Cody Roberts used his snowmobile to run over a young wolf. He captured the injured wolf, duct taped her mouth shut, dragged her into the Green River Bar, and tortured & killed her.
He has been INDICTED on felony charges!
This image shows a man kneeling indoors beside an injured gray wolf. The wolf appears exhausted and subdued, with its muzzle tightly bound in red duct tape. The man, wearing a plaid shirt, jeans, and a brown baseball cap, is gripping the wolf by the scruff of the neck with one hand while holding a can of beer in the other. He is smiling broadly at the camera. The setting appears to be a dimly lit room with coats and boots visible in the background. (Context for accessibility: According to reports, the man pictured has been charged with felony animal cruelty in Wyoming for capturing and torturing this wolf, later identified as “Hope.”)

Koko is ✨fancy✨
This image shows a ferret standing on grass. The ferret has a sleek, slender body covered in dark brown fur with lighter, creamy patches on its neck and sides. Its small rounded ears, pointed snout, and alert posture give it an inquisitive look as it gazes upward. The background is a softly blurred field of green grass, suggesting a sunny outdoor setting.

What? Where?
Emmy, a cream-colored mink, is standing upright on her hind legs atop a rough wooden surface. The mink’s fur is sleek and short, and her small pink nose and red eyes stand out against her light coat. Her front paws are held close to her chest in a curious, alert posture. Behind the mink is a wire mesh wall with a gray metallic texture and halloween decorations near the bottom of the frame. The lighting highlights the mink’s fur, giving it a soft, almost glowing appearance.

Little miss resting mink face
This is Emmy the mink, a light cream-colored rescue with wet fur that glistens in the light. She has striking reddish-amber eyes and a soft pink nose. Emmy is perched on a dark, wet log beside a plastic water basin with droplets on its rim. The background shows wire fencing and blurred greenery, suggesting an outdoor enclosure. Emmy’s expression appears to be a bit bitchy, if we're being honest.

I feel like some mink always look jolly and happy, and others always look stern and serious. This is Lysander, and he just looks heckin' jolly lol. Emmy always looks like she's about to insult you. Resting mink face.
This is Lysander the mink, a rescue from the fur farming trade. He has soft silvery-gray fur, deep reddish-brown eyes, and a pale pink nose. Lysander is missing his left ear, a remnant of his time on a fur farm. In the foreground is a bright orange plush toy with a white tag, and the background shows straw and wire mesh from his enclosure. The lighting highlights the texture of his fur and gives a warm, gentle tone to the image.

Her coloring is called "palomino" in the fur trade (she's a fur farm rescue). Kind of a light-goldeny cream color, with burgundy eyes. Sometimes the camera washes her color out a bit, here's another photo-
Emmy the mink, a light cream-colored mink with sleek fur, is seen in close-up from above. Her pink nose and reddish-brown eyes stand out against her pale face as she looks upward with curiosity. Fine white whiskers fan out around her snout. In the background, there’s a piece of weathered wood, a couple of white PVC tunnel pieces, and a light blue-gray plastic swimming area.

Emmy can be such a creeper. Just look at the way she's gripping that skeleton hand in her little paw. Ya just know she's up to something nefarious...
Emmy the mink, a cream-colored mink with pink eyes and nose, is partially submerged in shallow, clear water. She’s looking up toward the camera with her whiskers just above the surface. Underwater, she’s holding a black plastic skeleton hand. A piece of weathered wood and part of a small white skeleton decoration rest above her. To the left, two floating plastic eyeball toys with bright green irises add a playful Halloween touch.

It's been a minute since I could feel even the tiniest little bit positive about this country.
The image is a circular logo featuring an illustrated cream-colored mink with a confident, forward-facing expression. The animal is centered within a black circle that has a bright rainbow-colored border, symbolizing inclusivity and pride. Encircling the mink, white text reads: “BUILD COMMUNITY” at the top and “PROTECT EACH OTHER” at the bottom. Behind the circle, the background shows a watercolor-style depiction of the American flag, with red and white stripes and blue with white stars.

My whole entire mood recently 🔥
A light-colored mink stands upright on its hind legs beside the edge of a shallow water tub, peering directly at the camera. Someone has digitally drawn thick, slanted black eyebrows over the mink’s eyes, giving it an exaggerated angry expression. The mink’s pink nose and reddish-brown eyes contrast with its damp fur, while the background shows an outdoor enclosure with fencing and wooden enrichment items.

Loving my kettle here in WY!
Image description: Two stainless steel dishes of pasta in red sauce sit on a large flat rock at the edge of a mountain lake. Each bowl has a clear plastic fork. Between the bowls, a tall, metal Kelly Kettle rests on the rock, its cylindrical body reflecting the sunlight. The calm water of the lake stretches out behind, reflecting the dense pine forest and rocky slopes on the far shore. In the distance, tree-covered mountains rise into a bright blue sky. The scene feels peaceful, with a sense of enjoying a hot meal in the wilderness. Image description: A close-up of a stainless steel Kelly Kettle standing on a rock surface beside a calm mountain lake. The kettle is tall and conical with a wide base that contains a small fire, visible through a round opening. A wooden handle rests in a diwnward position, and a thin chain hangs from the side, attached to the spout plug. A metal mug sits nearby. In the background, the lake reflects tall pine trees and scattered boulders, while the sky above is clear and blue. The photo highlights the kettle in action, boiling water outdoors in a natural alpine setting.

Smaugy da Dragon Boss sez "hai"!
I swear, he will look like a baby to me until he's ancient.
The image shows a dark-furred mink exploring a cozy, toy-filled space. The mink has sleek, shiny black fur and is positioned in the center of the image, standing on a red fleece blanket. Surrounding the mink are several colorful and soft toys: a shiny rainbow-colored balloon dog toy, a light colored plush bear, and a plush carrot toy with a smiling bunny peeking out of the top. To the left, there's a pink and gray play tunnel, and beneath the blanket is a multicolored plaid fleece that adds a vibrant, layered background. The setting appears to be a warm, enriched indoor or enclosed space designed for the mink's comfort and stimulation.
