James Pond

Rescue-versary: June 9, 2025

Abandoned, and ended up at the animal shelter in Salt Lake City. When our friends at Wasatch Wanderers heard about him, they picked him up and got in touch with us.

Personality: The leader of the flock. Always the first to guide the rest of the crew on an adventure, and a very curious boy.
