...and a partridge in a pear tree

christmas is over, but i sing this song to myself year round.

right now, between the two shelters, we have over 50 roosters. we have 3 tortoises and two iguanas. we have a stray lovebird. we have 15 rabbits. we received 8 owner surrendered rats today to go with the 10 rats we already had. we even have an axolotl, a rare salamander that can only be owned with a permit. we have dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. the two boas we had have been transferred to breed rescue.

i don't think we have any partridges, and we're certainly out of pear trees.
