Lovebirds, Gerbils and More Rescued from Oregon City Property: Adopters Needed
The rescued pets were living in overcrowded conditions inside a double-wide trailer and a small metal shed. The pets were voluntarily relinquished to Oregon Humane by the owner, an Oregon City resident who is under investigation for possible animal neglect.
Oregon Humane is seeking to place the animals in homes as soon as possible. Beginning this Friday, Nov. 27, many of the rescued animals will be offered for adoption at reduced prices.
Black Friday Special at Oregon Humane
“Black Friday is going to the birds,” said Oregon Humane Executive Director Sharon Harmon, who announced that adoption fees for all birds and rodents will be reduced by 50% from Friday, Nov. 27 through Sunday, Nov. 29. Guinea pigs, for example, will be discounted from $15 to $7.50 and lovebirds and parakeets, which are usually $19 each, will be two for $15. In addition, all adopters will receive a discount coupon from Pets on Broadway that offers significant savings on supplies for small pets.
Animals available for adoption on Friday at Oregon Humane will include: 21 lovebirds, 19 parakeets, three chinchillas, 20 mice, 26 hamsters and seven gerbils. Not all 210 of the animals rescued will be available this week, as many of the female pets rescued are pregnant and are currently being fostered by Oregon Humane volunteers. A complete list of all animals available for adoption can be seen on our Rescued Pets page beginning Wednesday afternoon and continuing on Thursday morning.
The Oregon Humane shelter will be closed to the public on Thursday, Nov. 26 for Thanksgiving, but will reopen for regular hours on Friday, Nov. 27. Hours and directions here »
Other pets from the rescue, including fantail pigeons, doves, quail, and tortoise, have already been placed in homes or with rescue groups and are not available for adoption.
