Gus, Luke, Mert, & Bert

The Boys are all doing great! They’ve adjusted very well to their new home. I’m able to get them out of their cage every afternoon for several hours of free time. Their space is the whole living room where they have plenty to climb and play on!

Luke is the little gymnast of the bunch. He climbs on the drying rack all the time and likes perching on the top rails. They also have tree branches to climb along with everything else. Luke is also the one who spends the most time riding on my shoulders or tucks in on the back of my neck in my hoodie.

Mert and Bert have grown and Bert is as big as Gus now. They’re definitely a duo and nearly always together. They’re both playful but also kind of my lazy boys, liking to spend a lot of time napping on my futon, especially after a snack!

Gus is also a super sweet & cuddly guy. If he thinks I’m not paying attention he starts climbing my leg to let me know. Gus gets into chasing Luke a bit, but you can see from their pic they snuggle, too. It’s so cute when they’re all in a huddle like this!

The Boys have added a lot to the house and they are very well fed. I’d also say it’s clear from their personalities that whoever had them before me really cared for them as well!

Working with both children and pets takes a special and compassionate person, and that’s exactly how we would describe our Youth Programs volunteers! Alongside our Youth Programs Coordinator, volunteers help children visiting with AWS both inside and outside the classroom with fun games, tasks, education and, of course, animals. With programs like Rescue Readers, Furry Tales, and After School Club, there’s a lot to do around here regarding humane education! We’re grateful for the hard work and dedication of our Youth Programs volunteers who assist in teaching compassion, kindness, and care for all creatures!
