Emu Finds Home in Aiken SPCA Dog Pen
An emu named Big Bird becomes the Aiken SPCA’s newest resident after animal control found it in a dog pen. Shelter manager Kristina Stoner calls it a first for the facility and a donation from Aiken Saddlery and Supply supports its care. The SPCA plans a 10 day hold before adoption to a suitable caretaker, potentially Dr. Jay Jones of The Ark Animal Hospital who could provide a home with llamas.
