Giddyup's Story

Giddyup is a 2026 racing survivor who got very lucky when a kind woman found him in Clarendon Hills. She was out in the neighborhood doing window sales when she spotted him and quickly realized this young pigeon needed some help. Giddyup was raised by people, so he never had the chance to learn many of the survival skills that pigeons normally pick up while growing up around a flock. He doesn’t really know how to navigate the world on his own, which makes him especially vulnerable outside. Thankfully, someone noticed him and stepped in before he had to fend for himself.<br/><br/>Being raised around people also means Giddyup is looking for a very different kind of future than life on the streets or in a racing loft. He needs a home where someone can keep him safe, provide the care he needs, and give him the chance to settle into a comfortable life. There is something especially sweet about Giddyup getting a second chance. He is a young pigeon who simply wasn’t equipped to handle the outside world on his own, and now he has the opportunity to find someone who will look out for him. He deserves a safe place to land, a loving family, and a home where he never has to worry about surviving on his own again.
