The
Southern Nevada Parrot Education, Rescue & Rehoming Society (SNPERRS) is operated by volunteers who give of their time and their own resources to help find loving homes for exotic pet birds in need.
Because of the expense of providing a veterinary examination for each of the birds admitted into our program, generally we do not admit into the program birds smaller than conures. However, because we know a variety of "bird people," we are often able to help arrange for private adoptions for smaller birds.
Please Note: the SNPERRS rehoming program
includes exotic pet birds (parrots) only. We do not conduct rescue/rehoming
for protected native species or introduced birds, including pigeons,
starlings, or house sparrows. If you have a concern relative to a wild
or introduced species, please contact "Wild Wings," the US Fish &
Wildlife Service or the State Division of Wildlife. For help with a lost or injured pigeon, contact Rich at richbarschdorf@clear.net Your cooperation will help ensure that SNPERRS can continue to focus on what it does best. Thank you! Birds are donated by their owners, and we accept a bird into our program only with the full written consent of the owner. We recognize that the decision to rehome a bird is not an easy one, and the members of our Rehoming Committee are there to help the process go as smoothly as possible for you and your bird. If you wish to donate a bird, please fill in the donation form and return it to our committee.
We spend in excess of $150 on veterinary care alone for each bird admitted into our program. While a monetary donation is not required of those donating birds, we always appreciate whatever donation you might be able to make, so that we may keep our adoption fees low. Donations and adoption fees are used to help offset the cost of veterinary examinations and any follow-up veterinary care that may be required and to help ensure that the program remain self-sustaining.

Please take your time in making the decision to rehome your bird. And, if you are considering rehoming your bird based solely on a behavioral issue, we may be able to assist you in modifying your bird's behavior with thought toward retention of the bird in your home. You may contact our Rehoming Coordinator, totally without obligation, if you think we may be able to help in this way. If you have come to this site because you are considering fostering or adopting a bird, the first step is to become a member of the Southern Nevada Parrot Education, Rescue & Rehoming Society--if you have not already done so--and fill out a fostering application or adoption application. Though we do not always have birds available for adoption, you must have your application completed and a home visit conducted to pre-qualify as a foster parent or adoptive family in order to be considered relative to a specific bird. Please note that the SNPERRS Rehoming Program is not designed to respond to "animal cruelty" violations of any kind. If you have come to this site because you are aware of what you think may be a cruelty issue with regard to a pet bird, please contact Clark County Animal Control at 702-455-7710 ~ Member Benefits ~ |
