Meet Pepper

Meet Pepper, an amazon who's about 5-6 years old. She was surrendered to us because her owners were terrified of her and they realized they weren't giving her the life she deserved.

She is tame, though never learned to step up. We are working with her on that important skill!

Pepper is very animated and loves to interact with people. If you stop by her cage for a quick chat, she runs over, pins her eyes, and excitedly vocalizes. She will make a fantastic addition to a home that understands amazons. Also, she has that wonderful amazon musky scent. Irresistible!

As always, please stop by if you'd like to meet her.

Meet Bones

Meet Bones, an adult male iguana. Like Barley, he was found outside as a stray, so we don't have any information on him. We are getting to know his personality as he recovers his strength with us.

Bones definitely requires an experienced iguana keeper. We'd love to find him a new home soon, due to caging concerns that will happen once it gets cooler outside. We'll be able to make it work for him, but it would be much better if he can just go into a home before needing to be moved again.


Please contact us if you'd like to meet Bones. This gorgeous fellow is looking for someone committed who won't just release him when the going gets rough!

Meet Squirt

Squirt is an approximately 2 year old cinnamon green cheek conure. He was surrendered because he only liked his male owner. However, with us, he has been incredibly sweet and tame to everyone. We feel confident that with the right guidance, he will remain tame to everyone once he finds a new home.
He loves meeting new people and getting attention. He's quickly become a favorite among the volunteers!
Please stop by if you'd like to meet this little treasure. We can't imagine that he'll be looking for a new home for long!

Meet Coco

Meet Coco, an approximately 10 year old blue-front amazon. Her owner died, which is why she found her way to us. We are waiting DNA sexing on Coco.She is an extraordinarily gorgeous amazon! She is very social and loves to be around people. However, she can be picky about who she likes, so she will definitely have to pick her new owner.


As always, please stop by if you'd like to meet Coco, or any of the other birds that we have up for adoption. Maybe that certain chemistry will be present!

Meet Barley

Meet Barley, an iguana that we have up for adoption. She was a stray that was found outside, so we don't have a lot of information on her background. Or any information, actually!Animal control had her, and she was to be euthanized if we wouldn't take her, so she's here and looking for a good home.

She is young, and is handleable, though not super tame. It follows that someone who would let her go outside probably wasn't handling her enough to keep her tame, though she's made good progress while with us.

Please stop by if you'd like to meet Barley, or the other iguana we have up for adoption (we'll introduce you to him in the next few days.)

Iguanas are not easy pets to keep -- they grow quite large and have important dietary and lighting needs! If you're new to iguanas, and think it would be fun to have one, please read through this site first. If you have any care questions after reading that, please contact us and we can help you to decide if Barley might be the right companion for you!

Meet finches

We currently have about 12 zebra finches up for adoption. They were brought to us by a hoarder, but are in shockingly good shape!
If you've been thinking about adding zebra finches to your life, now is the perfect time to do so!
Please stop by if you'd like to add some joy to your home in the guise of these little treasures!

Meet Tiki

Meet Tiki, an adult bare-eyed cockatoo. We think she's around 10 years old, and we are waiting to receive her DNA-sexing results. In her last home, Tiki bit her owner, who threw her to the ground. Prior to this incident, Tiki was a friendly and happy bird, but that scared her and she has become relatively phobic.

We are looking for a patient, experienced cockatoo home for Tiki. We believe that in the right home, with time and understanding, she will regain trust and her carefree attitude again. It just has to be done on her time.

Please stop by if you'd like to meet Tiki. She deserves a happy captive life, and we're hoping we can find one for her soon, as she will make more progress in a private home than at the Center.
