About

The Center for Avian Adoption, Rescue, and Education (CAARE) is an all-volunteer, North Dakota, 501(c)(3), non-profit, parrot shelter devoted to the welfare of companion parrots. In our shelter, there are two dedicated rooms for parrots awaiting adoption: One for larger parrots and one for smaller parrots. We have an Adoption Process in place for finding the adoptable parrots the best home possible. We also educate the public about the proper care of exotic birds whenever anyone not familiar with owning and caring for parrots comes into our shelter. We offer Memberships, which helps us to continue our mission and also provide a discount on most items available in our Avian Warehouse. We also love requests for on-site visits to colleges, schools, nursing homes, etc., or being a part of any pet-related events in the area! We do ask that a donation be made to our shelter for such visit requests. If you are interested in learning about parrots or adopting one of the parrots in our care, we would love to help!

Adoption process

Adoption Process - Step One: Visit our Shelter. Step Two: Complete an Adoption Application. Step Three: Application Evaluation. Step Four: Schedule a Home Visit. Step Five: Adoption. Important Considerations: We do not ship parrots. We do not adopt to (most) smokers. Adoptions are not first-come, first-served, and we strive to find the right fit for each parrot and each family. Refusal of a home visit will result in automatic denial of an adoption. Completion of an Adoption Application and/or participating in a home visit does not guarantee adoption. C.A.A.R.E. reserves the right to refuse any adoption. If a volunteer cannot be found to conduct a home visit due to distance. and if another means of conducting a home visit cannot be implemented, denial of adoption may be necessary. Adoption and cage fees are refundable for a period of up to 30 days as long as the parrot is returned in good health and the cage is returned along with the parrot and is clean. Failure to return a clean cage will result in the deduction of a $25.00 cleaning fee from any refund given. If, after 30 days, the parrot is unable to be kept for any reason at any time, be aware that per our Adoption Contract, the parrot may not be sold or given away under any circumstances and must be returned to our shelter.
