Pelican is an incredibly cute young guy with a gentle heart and a sunny outlook, even after quite literally crossing paths with a car and coming out mostly on top—talk about one tough bird. He’s still has some healing to do, but his spirit is fully intact, complete with soft eyes, a wag-ready attitude, and a strong belief in the healing powers of patience, kindness, snacks, and top-tier belly rubs. Pelican is sweet, resilient, and quietly charming, the kind of pup who makes you smile without even trying—so come meet this handsome bird and see why he’s worth flocking to.
