MEET PACO

Paco is a Sulfur Crested Cockatoo who just arrived at the shelter. He is about 25 years old and is looking for a low-stress home where he can receive lots of attention and out-of-cage time. He has been easy to handle and is happiest when he is with someone. Paco would do best as the only bird in his new home. We would like to find Paco a forever home as soon as possible as the shelter is a stressful environment for him. His adoption fee is $350 and includes his cage. His previous family left us a lot of great information about him (too much to share here) - stop by the shelter or give us a call at 603-749-5322 to learn more about this beautiful bird!

Pet of the Week: Halo

Hi I'm Halo! I'm 4-years-old and love to roughhouse and play long games of fetch. I have a strong and bold personality; ready to take on the world with my human by my side. I also have great motivation and focus when being worked with. I get along with people who share a similar personality. I would rather not live with any other dogs, cats, or kids- I need to learn my manners and work on how to stay calm. I need an active adult home who will embrace my goofy side and give me all the attention I need and deserve! Will you take me home?
