White Squirrel Pisgah Penny is in the news. She is Brevards’ white squirrel ambassador and helped to launch this year’s White Squirrel Festival Weekend. Pictured above is Channel 7 News Christine Scarpelli meeting Pisgah Penny for the first time.
Brevard, North Carolina, is known for its population of white squirrels. These squirrels have a genetic mutation that causes their fur to be white instead of the typical gray or red. They have become a symbol of Brevard, and the town takes pride in their unique squirrel population.

No we do not sell or giveaway live white squirrels. Our mission is to rescue, rehab and release our area white squirrels and wildlife and you must be licensed to do so.
In North Carolina, you cannot hold a wild animal as a pet or for amusement or companionship purposes, it is against the law..
Please consider adopting a shelter animal instead. Thank you for your question.
