ABOUT OUR ORGANIZATION

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! 

OUR MISSION

To reach out and educate the public on the appropriate health care and general well-being of companion parrots.
To find homes for displaced companion parrots through our adoption program.
To provide a friendly and caring environment for our members and guests to socialize and learn from one another.

HOW WE OPERATE

Our organization depends on donations and adoption fees as we receive no public funding . Our Avian Warehouse sells cages, various types of perches, playstands, small playgyms, food, food dishes/cups, tons of different treats, parrot-safe cage cleaning supplies, and parrot toys (foraging, shredding, foot toys, indestructible, etc.) of every size.  We also offer logo apparel (t-shirts and sweatshirts), vinyl decals, license plate frames, etc., to help spread the word about our shelter.

All of the proceeds made from our Avian Warehouse go directly back into our shelter so we can continue to run.
