Adoptions Fees - We reserve the right to set adoption fees at our discretion.
These fees are based on a variety of factors including retail value,
temperament, vet fees incurred, health, age, and condition of reptile or bird.
Adoption fees serve to protect birds from individuals who would wrongfully
adopt them for commercial or breeding purposes. 100% of adoption fees go
toward operating expenses. It is very costly to care for these birds on a daily
basis and the adoption fees help cover food, vet bills, housing, toys, cages,
perches, etc. Many of our rescues live here permanently due to health and
medical problems and will require constant medical care. We keep our fees
significantly lower than "market prices" to make bird adoptions more
affordable to good homes. We also reserve the right to lower or waive
adoption fees at our discretion if it helps place birds in the best homes.
Adoption fees will be discussed after we review and verify your application
information. NOTE: Adoption fees and Donations are NON-REFUNDABLE!
Please keep in mind, we do not buy, sell, trade or breed any of our rescued
birds or reptiles. We do not use birds in our care for commerce or profit.
There is times when we will pay for a bird that we find to be in horrific living
conditions, being abused or simply not bing properly cared for just to get
them out of their current situation and we adopt out for no more than we
paid to rescue him/her and get vet checked and in many cases less than we
paid to provide proper care. But please do not contact me asking to buy your
bird because you need the money or just need to sell him/her, as this is not
what we do here. We are here to help those who truly need our help.
Age Requirements - You must be 25 yrs. old to adopt a bird
We only provide adoptions to experienced bird keepers and reserve the right
to refuse adoption to anyone at our discretion.
We do not place birds with people who breed or are considering breeding.
We promote responsible guardianship of all captive birds.
We oppose the sale of unweaned baby birds and production breeding
methods.
We oppose the mass-marketing and selling of birds through pet store chains,
bird marts, and internet venues.
You must provide us with your info on your exotic or avian vet prior to
adoption. If you do not have one, we will assist you in finding one in your
area that specializes in exotic and/or avian medicine.
While we accept scheduled bird drop-offs from anywhere, we will make free
local pick-ups within a reasonable distance whenever possible.
PLEASE NOTE: Do to the size and loudness of some larger birds such as
macaws and cockatoos, you must live in a house and preferably own your
own home. These birds do not do well in apartments, condos, etc. Reason
being is if you move, many landlords will not allow a bird of this size and
neighbors many times complain of the noise. We do this to protect the birds
from having to come back here.
Lair Of Dragons is a private not for profit organization with limited space
and resources. We will not allow our rescue to become overcrowded to the
point that animals become neglected, and must turn away birds and reptiles
in some cases. We are a no-kill rescue center.
If you have a bird needing a new home or can not care for it please contact
us before dropping one off at a pet store where they will not get proper
medical assistance before being sold and never let a bird go free outside, as
they can not survive. Please keep in mind, once a bird is placed with us,
he/she becomes the sole property of Lair Of Dragons Bird Rescue. Please
contact me through email or via phone (717)431-8599 to make
arrangements. We are located in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
Shipping & Distance - We never ship a rescued bird because of the stress
it causes. PLEASE NOTE: Our birds will only be adopted out within a 2
hour drive of Lancaster, PA, due to our frequent house visit policies.
Occasionally we may qualify you even if you live a little further, depending
on the bird or reptile being adopted. However, we will ship small reptiles
(under two feet) within the U.S. in certain cases, if no local home becomes
available. We ONLY ship overnight for next morning delivery. We only ship
when weather conditions are suitable. Our live animal shipments are always
insulated and heated/cooled as necessary. Shipping cost is the responsibility
of the person adopting the reptile..
We reserve the right to ask for pictures of your setup to make sure it is
appropriate for the reptile or bird you plan to adopt. Not being completely
truthful in describing your setup in the adoption process will eliminate you
as a future home for any of our reptiles or birds, so please be truthful.
Important Info: When a bird is ready for adoption, we will review all
applications on file and pick out a few that we feel the bird will be most
comfortable with. We will then contact you and inform you of the bird
available for adoption and you have the option to come meet the bird. We
can only hold a bird for 1o days prior to a meeting before we must contact
another potential adopter. Reason being is that we have had many people
interested in adopting but has not been able to make it out here for several
weeks and then just prior to the meeting changed their mind. This is not fair
to the bird whom could have been placed with a new forever family or to the
birds whom are on a waiting list needing to come in here because of the
situations they are in.
Any bird or reptile adopted out by Lair Of Dragons Bird Rescue can not be
sold, used for breeding purposes, entertainment /educational events or given
away. Our rescues will only go to qualified homes that are wanting a family
pet. If for some circumstance you can not keep the bird or reptile, he/she
must be returned back to Lair Of Dragons Bird Rescue. Please keep in mind,
we have the right to check up on the bird or reptile in your home at anytime
to make sure it is being properly cared for and still in the possession of the
adopter. If the bird or reptile is not in your possession, you will be fined. A
signed contract must be completed at time of pick-up of your new
companion and the adoption fee must be paid in full.
It is very costly to care for the rescues in need, we provide proper setup, vet
check-ups, emergency medical care and necessary food. Although we do not
require a application processing fee, nor do we charge to drop off a
relinquished animal, any donations are greatly appreciated, as we run this
rescue with our own out of pocket money. We except all forms of donations,
including cages, lights, food, or any bird related item. We are a not for
profit rescue and all donations go towards the care of the birds we tend to
and adopt out. All donations can be made through paypal. Please let us
know who you are and what you are donating.
