Shirley

Shirley was kept with two other turkeys, Tiny and Wonky, in a tiny backyard pen, suffering and without proper care. The flock’s caretaker refused to get any of the turkeys help, even when one of Shirley’s friends stopped eating entirely.  

Thankfully, a kind person couldn’t stand seeing this neglect and stepped in. The person convinced Shirley’s caretaker to let her bring all three girls to safety at Woodstock Sanctuary. After getting the immediate care she needed, Shirley has been doing great ever since! Shirley is not only beautiful, but she is talkative! You hear Shirley before you see her, and her sweet voice and bold presence are hard to forget.
