• Meet Inigo Montoya: The head riding, kind-hearted rescue rooster (newscentermaine.com) — A rescued rooster named Inigo Montoya has found a permanent home at Darrowby Farm Sanctuary in Jefferson, where former teachers Amanda Glenn and Andy Theriault now care for 65 animals. After Portland officials couldn’t legally rehome him, a statewide shelter network connected the bird to the Jefferson sanctuary, highlighting both the town’s role in farm-animal rescue and the need for more resources for nontraditional pets.
