Dorothy Richards established a sanctuary for beavers in Little Falls, NY. Not so weird. Except that she also had several beavers at a time living in her home.

I for the life of me can´t understand how a person could have a beaver in their house. One time I´m walking my dog down by the river and just as I´m struck by this ungodly stench the dog tries to do a shoulder dive. I pull back on the leash to stop him and notice the trees next to us all have beaver damage. Those animals can produce a smell that can kill. (and it doesn´t smell like fish like the cute beavers do (wink, wink, nudge, nudge, know what I mean ?))
