Avian Rescue Corporation's adoption process
Additional adoption info
Avian Rescue Corporation is a bird rescue with several hundred birds of various types. We recommend you visit to see the various type of birds and see which one seems to fit best with your desires. We have Macaws, Cockatoos, Amazons, Congo African Greys, Cockatiels and some others. We prefer a visit any time between the hours of 11:30AM and 1PM any day (we have no weekends nor holidays), just call a day or so in advance for an appointment. Our address is 1212 Saint Elizabeth Ct., Concord, CA.
Our adoption process is basically simple: you come in for an interview where we discuss your knowledge and experience with a bird, and then you get to meet the birds. Depending on the type of bird you are interested in, you may need to make several visits here to get into the bonding process with the bird. You then complete an adoption form, pay an adoption fee which varies by bird type (and is established by going on line and finding out the sales prices for that type of bird, then dividing it by 1/2). The adoption fee for a Macaw is typically around $700-750. The bird is then brought to your home for a bird safe checkup and to see the cage the bird will be housed in. If everything is OK, then the bird is left and the process is complete.

About Avian Rescue Corporation
Companion birds are one of the preferred pets in the USA. Not all pets receive good care and a loving home. Established in 2001, ARC has expanded to rescuing and providing a sanctuary for all types of birds. Thousand of birds are abandoned or lost annually; ARC provides care and rehabilitation until ARC can find them a new and caring home. Domesticated birds have little to no chance of survival in the wild. ARC has helped hundreds of birds by picking them up from animal shelters and individuals that can no longer provide a good home for their birds.

ARC is an approved participant in the United Way of the Bay Area Campaign, the California State Emplyee's Charitable Campaign, the Local Independent Charities of America (LICA), and the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC #64924). ARC has been granted the "Best In America Seal of Excellence".

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
