Pardon this Rooster (Roster)

Happy Thanksgiving from the Rooster Roster! As always, we have lots of new birds for you this week, and not just the gobbling kind.

Do you wish we’d change something about this newsletter? Do you really like this newsletter? Do you just want to email someone? Reply to this email. We love to hear from our fellow bird lovers.

Here’s what we have for you this week:

• Two varieties of gobblers ←🦃 

• An overt hint to always click the secret link at the end of the newsletter if you want a smile

• Always, some private listings!

• Our heartfelt thanks for being with us as we try to find homes for all our feathery friends.

Scroll to your state (or a state you want an excuse to visit!) and see what new friends are available in your area.

One tip: we highlight birds that are NEW to their shelters, so we recommend also browsing through your local shelter’s adoptable animals to see if you can spot any older hidden gems waiting for you, or even birds pending a stray hold that you could be first in line to see when they become available. Get to know your local shelter’s system and you will have a leg up on adopting the bird of your dreams!
