Meet Lavender, an active pigeon who is looking for their forever home. They came to the shelter as a stray, so we don't know much about their background. However, between the purple dye on their feathers and their comfort with being held, it looks like Lavender is used to being a pet pigeon. If you think Lavender is the pigeon for you, adopt today!

If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website (www.whatcomhumane.org/adopt) or in person at our facility. We recommend calling into the shelter after your application has been submitted so our front desk can give you next steps on our adoption process.
