Winston & Mr. Pearl frighten easily and don't like going anywhere outside of their pen without their family nearby to protect them. They look to humans for protection and to make them feel safe. They are afraid of other drakes and need a home without any other boys sharing their pen.

The boys get along extremely well in the spring, fall and winter, but squabble and sometimes need to be separated by a portable dividing fence (available at Petco/Petsmart) during the summer.

Even during the warmer months when they don't get along perfectly, they can't stand to be out of each other's sight and like to be side by side on opposite sides of a shared fence. Sadly, this one requirement has left them skipped over by many families. Winston & Mr. Pearl have been with us for a few years, waiting for their forever home.

Not Available for Adoption

Neo just arrived at our sanctuary on 9/14/08. He has some serious digestive issues that need addressing and will not be available for adoption any time soon.

Neo is suffering from a serious Crop issue. His food is getting hung up in his crop on the way down to his gizzard. A vet examination has confirmed that this was probably caused by erratic feeding--going hungry for periods of time and then gorging when food suddenly becomes available. This unhealthy eating behavior weakens the muscles around the crop. 

Neo is very weak at this time, but we are giving him around-the-clock attention to ensure that he is eating properly. We are currently grinding up his food, measuring rations and spacing out his meal times in an effort to try to improve his situation. He will be on this diet for 3 months before we slowly attempt to convert him to whole food. Neo will be unavailable for adoption during this process.

America's Pet Store has donated a special automated and timed feeder just for Neo!

In addition to his crop issue, Neo suffered from vocal chord damage that occurred while he was abandoned on a pond. Our vet suspects he swallowed something that injured him. As a result, poor Neo has no quack. He opens his bill to quack, but only a slight whisper comes out.

Neo is a sweet and gentle boy who lets us hold and pet him. We are working very diligently to get him feeling better.

Available for Adoption Soon!

Trinity just lost his/her mother a few days ago to a predatory attack.  People at the park were trying to tell rescuers to leave this non-flying, domestic duckling alone so they could, "enjoy looking at it."

Rescuers went to the town and received permission to remove the duckling before it suffered a fate similar to its mother's.

We are going to give Trinity a few days to settle in, so we can confirm she is healthy and prepared to go to a new and loving home.

We will probably want Neo and Trinity to stay together.
