Meet our Pet(s) of the Week, Rachel, Phoebe, and Monica!

by | Jan 26, 2025 | Pet of the Week

Do these three names sound familiar!? Does it make you wanna sing the hit song “I’ll Be There For You” from The Rembrandts? Yes, that is the theme song for the TV show Friends, and these adorable parakeets are named after the women of Friends: Rachel, Phoebe, and Monica!

And just like the cast of Friends, you can’t separate these gals! They are the “budgie bestie trio”, and would love to be a part of your household! These cuties were turned over to APCSM only because their previous owners lost interest in them. They are on the younger side, around 2-3 years old, so they have a lot of fun life ahead of them considering parakeet budgies have a life expectancy of 7-15 years. 

What is so special about these birds is that they love being social and chatty. They need enrichment in their lives through playing with toys, eating millet treats, and hanging out with their other budgie friends! That is why these ladies cannot be torn apart! It is like having your own version of the Friends cast, right in your home! Maybe you’re the other half. Do you feel like a Joey, or a Ross, or even a Chandler!? Complete the group with these birds! 

Since Rachel, Phoebe, and Monica are such a dynamic group, they do need a larger cage so that they can spread their wings and feel free!

Also, we have to add that Rachel, Phoebe, and Monica will *always be there for you* if you bring them into your home! Check out the information below and consider making new *Friends*. 

Fill out a small animal adoption application here https://www.apcsm.org/smalls-adoption-application

Please have a photo of your cage ready in order to be approved for adoption.

 

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: 

APCSM’s Adoption Process

Step 1: Find a friend!

Visit our website to view listings of all animals currently looking for homes.

You’ll find information on each pet by clicking on their picture.

If you have questions about a specific animal, please email us directly at info@apcsm.org

Please kindly take note that we do not retain applications for extended periods, nor for special requests. Our website is updated automatically as animals become available, so please check back regularly!

An adoption inquiry is not a hold, reservation, or guarantee on pet adoption.

Step 2: Send in your app

If you see an animal you like, submit an adoption application! If you aren’t sure on exactly which animal – that’s OK too. We can do a general meet and greet with multiple animals.

After submitting an application, our staff will review your information and contact you. Please allow up to 3 business days to hear from us.

We will schedule a day and time for you to come to the shelter to meet the pet(s) you are interested in adopting.

Step 3: Meet your new buddy!

If your meet-and-greet goes well, it’s time to adopt! Your counselor will guide you through some paperwork to make it official. See our current adoption fees.

If you are adopting a cat, kitten, or small animal, please bring a secure carrier to safely transport them home. A collar and leash will be provided to you if you are adopting a dog.

If You Have Other Pets at Home:

We prefer that your current animals be up-to-date on vaccinations and regular/semi-regular check ups.

If you are adopting a dog or guinea pig, we will arrange a time for your current pets to meet your new friend here at the shelter to ensure they’re a good fit.

If you are adopting a cat, bird, or other small animal, we will not have them meet beforehand. We do recommend and encourage SLOW, supervised introductions in your home.

Please remember, we want you to succeed! Our animals deserve loving homes and every potential adopter goes through the same adoption process to ensure the animals are placed in a safe environment. We hope you find a great match!
