Feature creature

Are cats and dogs mundane to you? Do you seek a more exotic partner? Local shelters are the place to shop, as this friendly white bird can attest. In the past year, area shelters have housed rabbits, parakeets, reptiles and rodents. Iguanas, roosters and ring-neck doves have moved right in. So if you like your pets with a little originality, don’t forget to check out the shelters. To learn more about Birdy, visit the Coeur d’Alene Animal Shelter at 125 Hazel or call (208) 665-7379.
