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 other general fees that we may have incurred
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 or those whom have
done extensive research 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. If
you adopt a parrot from us and we find out you are later breeding parrots,
we will have you relinquish the adopted parrot back to our rescue. This
same rule applies for anyone whom starts collecting to many parrots. We
choose our home based on the time and attention you can devote to one of
our rescues and adding to many parrots or animals to a family can have
devastating affects.
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 single family 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 a proper
evaluation 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.
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 parrot will be most
comfortable with. We will then contact you and inform you of the parrot
available for adoption and you have the option to come meet him/her. We
can only hold a bird for 5 days after we initially contact you to set up 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 parrot or reptile adopted out by Lair Of Dragons Bird Rescue can not be
sold, used for breeding purposes, entertainment /educational events or given
away, this includes passing the parrot along to family and friends without
our knowledge. 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. You must bring along a
appropriate size carrier to take your new parrot home in. Many parrots
relinquished do not have their own cage, so be prepared to supply an
appropriate size cage, toys and perches for your new companion.
Please be advised that parrots are wild animals and can bite and cause
serious injury. Lair Of Dragons Bird Rescue is not responsible for injury
caused by any parrot in our care during your visit here or after adoption.
Please use caution when interacting with parrots here at the rescue. Refrain
children from touching or poking their fingers in cages or at parrots who
may be out of their cage.
It is very costly to care for the rescues in need, we provide proper setup,
lights, emergency medical care when needed, toys galore which we go
through on a daily basis and food which consist of fresh vegetables, fruits,
parrot mix, nuts, etc. daily. 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 100% of
donations go towards the care of the birds we tend to and adopt out. All
monetary donations can be made through paypal. Please let us know who
you are and what you are donating.

Policies & Principals
PROCEDURE TO RELINQUISH A
PARROT OR REPTILE INTO OUR
CUSTODY.
We are not here to judge, only to help. We
want you and your beloved pet to feel as
comfortable as possible with this process.
We thrive to make the transition easy and
stress free. Our home is always open for
you to come and visit first so that you may
get to know us, our current rescues and
see how they play and interact with us on
a daily basis. We do ask a few favors of
you when relinquishing a parrot or reptile
to us.
1.) We do require you to fill out a
relinquishment questionnaire that serves
us to better know your pet and his likes
and dislikes, behavior, habits, etc
2.) We do ask that if possible you also
bring his/her cage or habitat as this makes
their transition easier and less stressful.
(remember that parrots especially, get
very attached to their own cage and this
makes them feel safe when coming to us.)
3.) We also ask that you bring along their
favorite toys and food so that we can
gradually wean them off of your brand
onto ours, if needed.
4.) Please bring along any documentation
of medical records and vet visits that they
may have had in the past.
5.) Please be honest about all behavior and
medical problems so that we may better
work with them to overcome obstacles.
Although we do not charge a fee for you to
drop off a parrot or reptile, all donations
are greatly appreciated and help in our
fight to save more lives every day.
Donations can be in any form such as new
toys, cages, food, treats, fruits and
vegetables and of course monetary
donations to help with cost of daily
requirements that these special pets need.
We have several parrots that show up here
without cages or toys, so if you have an
extra laying around it would be a great
help to use for those less fortunate and
makes our adoption process much easier
when we have a cage to provide along
with the adopted pet.
