Last month Lincol County officials Seized more than 300 animals from a home in Denver. Some of which were waterfowl. The waterfowl are currently under our care.
Until we receive a ruling from a judge these denver seizure animals can not leave our facility. Its possible some birds may go back to the owner, we have no clue whether this will happen, which birds it might affect or how long it will take. We encourage anyone interested in adopting to sign up. We will save all responses for adoptions until we know which birds will be released.
We always need help and are always looking for homes for all kinds of birds from peacocks to budgies So please sign up on the list maybe you can help some other needy animals down the road as well. We will send out emails as soon as we know anything. It doesn't appear we will need foster homes for any birds at this time. |
| The ducks are all domesticated or non native ducks and state law prohibits us from releasing them into any public waterways. We appreciate everyone's offers but we cant put them into any lakes, neighborhood developments etc. They are very tame and domesticated and need to be with someone who treats them as pets. This means accepting responsibility for their care, feed and the same consideration you woudl make for any pet. The chickens are going to also have to be someone pets. They will not be given to anyone for food, we will screen their homes. The birds (fowl) we will need homes for are 3 female Pekins (white ducks) 13 Muscovy Ducks and 3 chickens (one rooster, one bantam barred rack and a mixed breed hen) The remaining birds in this group are spoken for already.

The mixed breed hen has some medical issues. She needs to have at least one maybe two surgeries. Right now we do not have the resources to pay for these procedures. If anyone is interested in contributing towards the veterinarian bill for the chicken contributions can be made directly to our veterinarians office. The phone number to call is 704-949-1100 and our account number is 62753 Otherwise she will most likely be a victim of this situation that will require loss of her life. We are keeping her comfortable but she has suffered years of neglect from a chronic untreated condition. we hate for her to finally have some chance at a new life and have to be put down we know many people have sent support for the dogs and cats but none of that money is being allocated for the birds in our care. We have received no supplies or donations for these guys yet from anyone. I know its a
chicken but doesn't she deserve to have the same chance as everyone else? She is friendly, personable and a nice bird.
We also need to find some caging as we have run out of space. We were supposed to assist with another seizure this month and will have to turn these animals away. There is no other facility like ours in NC or surrounding states and these animals will have no where to go. If you know anyone who has a chain link dog kennel we desperately need a few to make new pens. Any supplies of chicken wire, hardware cloth, feed, rubber mats, dog kennels or crates woudl be greatly appreciated. We are a 501(c)3 and donations are tax deductible as allowed by laws. If you know someone who works somewhere that can access any of these items for free or at a discount to us please let us know.
