The swallows have arrived in San Juan Capistrano, and Sparrow has arrived at Rancho Coastal Humane Society where she has been named "Pet of the Week." She’s light as a feather and eats like a bird, making her name especially fitting.

Sparrow is 2 years old, but she's as active as a kitten. Her bright eyes and long white whiskers make her truly stunning. Sparrow is waiting for her new family to find her so she can fly the coop and build a nest in her new home.
