It’s hard to believe that Indigo was once confined to a tiny, filthy cage in the backyard of a meth dealer’s home. Discovered during a police raid, he and another chicken, Jade, were the only survivors by the time help came for them. Severely neglected and starving, the pair were thankfully lifted out of these cruel conditions in the nick of time and brought to the safety of our California Shelter. Today, Indigo leads a far different life. In this Animal Photo of the Week, photographer Connie Pugh captures our handsome rooster friend in all his glory – stretching out his beautiful wings and just being free!
