Meet Bernard

A Gentle Soul with a Story of Survival: Bernard is a striking all-white pigeon with a heart as pure as his feathers. This gentle bird’s journey began in the perilous world of ceremonial “dove” releases - a practice that often leaves domesticated pigeons like Bernard lost and struggling to survive in unfamiliar environments. Fate smiled upon Bernard and his sister Bianca when they sought refuge in the parking garage of Rush Medical Center. Their quest for help led them to safety and into the caring hands of rescuers who recognized their plight. Now thriving in foster care, Bernard has blossomed into a sweet and affectionate companion. His calm demeanor and patience shine through in his interactions with the children in his foster home. Despite his challenging past, Bernard harbors no ill will. His resilience is inspiring, having transformed from a lost soul to a beloved family member. If you’re seeking a unique and gentle pet who can teach compassion and the value of second chances, Bernard will be the perfect addition to your family. By adopting Bernard, you’re not just gaining a feathered friend - you’re taking a stand against harmful practices and offering a forever home to a deserving survivor!
