If you visit our website and check out the birds up for adoption, you have noticed a different look!Instead of having our web person spend time maintaining a separate list of available birds, we decided to streamline things and use our Petfinder page, just like many other rescues and shelters.
Petfinder.com is a national registry of pets up for adoption. You can go on petfinder.com, fill out your search requirements, and find pets available all over the country. Thousands of people look at the petfinder.com website everyday.
We're very excited about this because instead of duplicating our time updating two lists of birds, our website volunteer can focus
his time on other issues. We are working on getting better pictures of our toys on our website, along with our food for sale. We also want to showcase some of our success stories and incorporate additional bird-related information.CARE is run entirely by volunteers and, like all organizations, is constrained by limited time and resources. We made this easy switch to free up some additional time, with the end result being a better, easier-to-navigate website (currently in progress!). We hope this will result in more web orders, which means we'll have more resources to help the several hundred birds that come through our doors every year.
We hope this explains to you why we made the change, and we hope you continue to support us in our mission to find good homes for the birds that come into our Center. We have so many wonderful, adoptable birds right now that are looking for their perfect home!
