Carolina Waterfowl Rescue (CWR) is non profit 501c3 wildlife rescue organization located in Charlotte, NC. CWR is run by federally licensed wildlife rehabilitators who provide sanctuary, rescue, and rehabilitation for wildlife, farmed, and exotic animals. CWR provides care to over 1000 birds a year covering close to 40 different wild bird species. CWR's operation depends on volunteers who donate their time, money, and expertise to helping North Carolina’s birds in need. They also accept domestic or exotic ducks for placement, do nuisance referrals, and offer bird, duck and goose rescue assistance.
1) If you aren't willing to pay the adoption fees please do not apply. If you can’t afford the fee then likely you can’t afford food or medical care for your new family member. If you want to adopt a group of birds please contact us to negotiate an adoption fee. This needs to be done in advance. Please do not show up at the adoption time not prepared to pay the fees. Volunteers working that day are not allowed to change the adoption plans or fees. If you don’t have your adoption paperwork and fees in order you will not leave with birds. No matter how far you drove. Please plan accordingly in advance for your new feathered friends. We are more than willing to work with any reasonable requests. 2) Fill out the adoption application completely. You may not understand the reasons for the questions but they all have a purpose. Applications that are sent in incomplete will not be reviewed. You can fax, email or snail mail your applications. You may also come by the rescue to pick them up. We will not review incomplete applications. We do not share or use the information for any other purpose. Your information is safe with us. We understand that some people are uncomfortable giving out information but we are uncomfortable giving birds to people we don't know. There is a mutual trust that must be establishes for adopting. We do not accept adopters without an application, no exceptions. 3) Applications must be sent in with photos in order to be reviewed. Photos must include the housing you have for the birds and other living quarters they will have such as a pond or grazing areas. You can text photos from your phone, email them or even snail mail them to us. 4) Someone will contact you to let you know if we have additional questions. We will not follow up if your application is complete, only if its complete and we have additional questions. 5) Once your application is completed the paperwork is submitted to our director for approval. You will receive notification you are approved. 6) Once your application is approved you will be contacted to discuss what birds are at the rescue. We do not hold birds. Birds are placed first come first served for approved adopters. We have too many people not show and we lose the chance to send them to another good home. Our list of birds can change daily. 7) Your time is valuable and so is ours. Please let us know if you can’t make your appointments. If you miss your appointment and you don’t call to let us know then you may be ineligible for another adoption. 8) Some cases where applications are approved but no suitable birds are at the rescue you will be placed on a waiting list. For instance you want peacocks but our pair is adopted, we will place you on the list to be contacted when another pair comes in. You would get first choice on the next pair but we will make one attempt to contact you and then move down the list. We only contact approved adopters on the waiting list for birds. We also may contact approved adopters for new birds coming in without sending to the mailing list. We like to have a relationship established with our adopters.
