🦃🍂 Happy Thanksgiving from Metro Animal Shelter! 🍂🦃

Today we’re grateful for our incredible community of adopters, fosters, volunteers, and supporters who make second chances possible every single day. 💛

While you’re enjoying your holiday feast, here are a few pet-safe foods your furry friends can nibble on:

• ✅ Plain turkey (no skin, bones, or seasoning)
• ✅ Steamed green beans
• ✅ A small spoonful of plain pumpkin

And here are some foods to avoid to keep tails wagging safely:

• ❌ Stuffing (often contains onions/garlic)
• ❌ Chocolate or desserts with xylitol
• ❌ Turkey bones or fatty skin

🐾 Reminder: The shelter is closed today for the holiday, but we’ll be back tomorrow with something special…

🧡Spaying or Neutering your pet will help you stay thankful for their health!

❓Why spay or neuter your pet?

🐾 Prevents unwanted litters, reducing the number of homeless animals + overpopulation in the state.

🐾Promotes responsible pet ownership and reduces the burden on shelters.

🐾Lowers the risk of cancers and infections in pets

🐾 Pets are less likely to roam, mark, or act aggressively

✨ Bonded Birds Looking for a Home! ✨

We have two sweet pairs of feathered friends who are ready to fly into loving homes:

🪶 Parakeets – Blue & Sunshine

• Blue is 8 years old, Sunshine is 3 years old
• Bonded pair, must go together
• Blue has a small growth on his face, but it doesn’t seem to bother him—he’s eating well and is a good size
• Their cage will go with them

🐦 Finches – Panic & Pain

• Bonded pair, must go together
• We don’t have much info on them (not even their genders 🤷🏻‍♀️), but they’re adorable and deserve a safe, happy home
• Their cage will go with them

💲 Adoption fee: $10 each (cage included!)

These little ones may not have had the easiest start, but they’re ready for a fresh chapter with someone who will cherish them. If you’ve been thinking about adding some cheerful chirps to your home, now’s the time!

📍 Stop by Metro Animal Shelter to meet them, or call us for more info!
