We get a lot of requests for visiting the rescue.  Unfortunately we are not open to the public and can not accept visitors. 

• Our state and federal permits for wildlife rehabilitation do not permit us to allow public to access or view wildlife that is undergoing medical treatments.  At this time we do not have a separate area to keep wildlife therefore we can not have visitors to the rescue. 
   

• Wildlife is stressed by human contact.  This includes just seeing you or hearing the noise. Some birds can even die from excessive contact from humans.
   

• Biosecurity is an important part of our protocols so in order to maintain biosecurity we can not have foot traffic in and out of the rescue.
   

• Our rescue is staffed entirely by volunteers.  Many days we have no extra time to show people around. Visitors directly take time from our animals care.  So we ask you to please respect our "no visitors" policy so we can focus on providing care to the animals.

We are working towards having an area open the public in the near future. We are anxious and excited to share  all of our incredible animals with you.  If you'd like to be notified when we do have openings please sign up on our mailing list.  If you'd like to help us expedite the process of having a public area please consider making a donation.  We run entirely from donations and 100% of our donations go to animal care.

INJURED ANIMALS
We allow drop off for injured animals by appointment only. Although we greatly appreciate someone helping injured animals we can not offer tours for people dropping off birds. If you have an injured bird to come to the rescue please email info@cwrescue.org

SURRENDERING ANIMALS
People who are surrendering animals often want to see where they are going. While we completely understand and sympathize with the concept of seeing the rescue before turning the animals over we still do not take visitors.  You should always do your homework before giving someone an animal so please check out all the hundreds of photos on our facebook page and ask around to gather information.  If you are still not comfortable turning your pet over then we suggest you keep searching for another rescue.

ADOPTIONS
Adopters are given an appointment to pick up birds they approved to adopt. We do not have viewings and only approved adopters come to the rescue.  If you want to adopt you must fill out our applications forms before we discuss with you what animals we have, our animals can change daily.
