Birds for adoption

The Animal Rescue League in Boston has numerous birds available for adoption, mostly cockatiels. If you are thinking about getting a bird, please consider going there. For that matter, the ARL and the MSPCA shelters have many small animals available such as rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, etc. Often people think about adopting a shelter dog or cat, but don't think of a shelter when obtaining other pets. For more information, please check out their websites in the links section.

Thank you, Diane, for reminding people that the Animal Rescue League of Boston is more than just puppies and kittens and dogs and cats. In addition to the many birds, rabbits (lots of rabbits!) and other small and furries (like ferrets), we currently have large and scaly, in the form of Iggy the Iguana. And if your interests run to the *really* large, our Dedham shelter has horses, sheep, and goats (although I suspect that Melrose might have some zoning requirements that could make at least the sheep and goats questionable.) Visit http://www.arlboston.org/site/PageServer?pagename=adopt_animal_search
for a list of currently available animals, and have a Happy New Year.
