glad she is okay !!! -Meet Tater, a sweet and gentle soul. This lovely girl was hit by a car on Lakeshore Drive—a terrifying accident that could have ended tragically. Thankfully, Tater survived, though the impact has left her with a little bit of a slower reaction time than other pigeons. But what she might lack in speed, she more than makes up for in sweetness and charm! Tater is absolutely beautiful, with her striking dark plumage accented by gorgeous intricate patterning on her wings that looks like delicate lace or leopard spots. The way she settles calmly into someone’s hand is the perfect example of just how trusting she is. This dear girl is very gentle with people, always maintaining a calm and patient demeanor that makes her an absolute joy to be around. Tater’s foster mom even says she has great house manners! She’s polite, well-behaved, and easy to care for—the kind of companion who never causes trouble and simply wants to be part of a peaceful, loving home. Her slower reaction time means she needs a calm, safe environment where she won’t be startled or overwhelmed - she is looking for a forever home that will appreciate her gentle nature and accommodate her slower reaction time by providing a predictable environment where she can feel secure. She deserves someone who will celebrate how sweet and well-mannered she is, and who understands that her accident has made her a little more vulnerable but no less deserving of love. This lovely girl has survived a terrifying accident and come out the other side with her gentle nature intact—now she just needs her forever family to give her the loving life where she can continue to thrive. Tater may be a little slower now, but she’s perfect just the way she is!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
