Peter
Hi! I’m Peter, and I’ve been told I’m one of the most resilient pigeons DCPR has ever cared for. My rescue story started in the worst way imaginable- I was shot because someone decided I was a "pest." The wound was deep, and things looked pretty grim. But if I could’ve talked back, I probably would’ve borrowed a line from Monty Python and declared, "It's but a flesh wound!" That stubborn attitude carried me through three surgeries and twice-weekly trips to my amazing veterinarian from April through July. Together, we refused to give up.
These days, I wear my scar with pride, because it reminds everyone just how far I’ve come. You’d never guess everything I’ve been through watching me zoom around. I fly, explore, and get around just like any other pigeon. More importantly, I’ve discovered that life is actually pretty fun! I’m equal parts sass and goofball. One minute I’m acting tough, and the next I’m begging for attention or inviting you to a spirited game of play-fighting. (Don’t worry, those little nips are just my way of saying, "Come on, play with me!")
I’ve become especially fond of DCPR’s president’s husband, proving that once I decide someone is part of my flock, I’m all in. It takes me a little time to build that trust, but when I do, I’m an incredibly engaging companion with a huge personality. I’m looking for a home that understands a feisty pigeon, laughs at my playful antics, and won’t mind a little beak wrestling now and then. After everything I’ve survived, I think I’ve earned a forever home where being my wonderfully silly self is not only accepted, but celebrated!
