Hi my name is Pigeon and I am a girl about 5 weeks old (as of 6/2/25)! I was hand raised by the TTAH staff so I love people! I give kisses and love to cuddle. I just met my new friends that I am rooming with and I have been welcomed into their family. I love to play and nap with them.
I am bold and I am enjoying learning how to explore. I also enjoy making friends with the staff dogs, one of them loves to give me kisses!
