About this Bird
Slinky is a very lucky juvenile feral pigeon who was found by staff and a horse barn stuck on the ground with a broken wing. A volunteer picked him up intending to bring him to a wildlife rehab. After quickly examining the wing, the volunteer located a scabbed open fracture at the "elbow" joint, which was no longer functional. Slinky was not going to be a candidate for release back into the feral flock. Within the first hour at the volunteer's home, Slinky was standing in her knee, nibbling her shirt, and attacking her finger whenever she tried to gently push him off of her. Slinky was quickly brought to an avian vet for assessment of the wing and possible amputation. Necrotic sections of the humerus were removed with appropriate analgesia, and the wound was cleaned and bandaged. He is being closely monitored by his vet for any indications of a bone infection, which would push us to have the wing amputated, but so far it looks like he can probably keep the wing. Radiographs revealed an additional fracture that is already very nicely healed. Slinky has been healing and resting in foster care, where he has shown himself to have an adorable snuggly personality and to be a bit of a homebody; anywhere he has once snuggled in a blanket, he is very likely to return to for further snuggling. He's a tough little guy (more bark than bite) who complains loudly when another bird is hogging the bath bowl but doesn't do much else. We are very happy to see Slinky recovering from his injuries and now living the soft life in foster care.Please apply to adopt http://www.pigeonrescue.org/birds/apply-to-foster-or-adopt/

Adopt Slinky and Receive Dogecoin
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Slinky's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).
0.0 DOGE is Slinky's current Dogecoin balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Slinky, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Slinky's Dogecoin here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Slinky was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Slinky’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
"The fun and friendly internet currency."
Dogecoin sets itself apart from other digital currencies with an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you. Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that enables you to easily send money online.
Learn more about it on youtube or at dogecoin.com.
We want the Slinky’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Slinky’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
