Palomacy Rescues & Rehomes Pigeons & Doves
About
Every year Palomacy Pigeon & Dove Adoptions saves hundreds of domestic, unreleasable birds' lives by providing rescue, vet care, foster & forever homes, coaching & referrals. Palomacy is pigeon diplomacy, closing a deadly gap in the animal rescue community. Smart, gentle domestic pigeons & doves, bred for business & hobbies, lost & injured, can't live free & need our help to be rescued & adopted. They deserve compassion. They are not disposable. Euthanasia is not the alternative to adoption.
Need
Unbeknownst to many, millions of domestic pigeons & doves are bred, used & abused (as if disposable) by businesses & hobbyists. Many die (squab, raced pigeons, ceremonial doves, birds used to train hunting dogs & falcons, etc.), but even those lucky enough to survive get killed unless people know how to rescue, adopt & care for them. These smart, gentle, innocent pigeons & doves, bred to be dependent on humans, need rescue, foster homes, vet care, adoption & humane advocacy to live.
Long term impact
Since 2007, Palomacy has had significant impact! There is so much more awareness & support for pigeons & doves now. Today, many shelters & new rescues help them instead of turning them away, caring for these beautiful, gentle birds until homes are found. Before Palomacy, these birds were mostly overlooked & underserved. Palomacy shares expertise, care coaching & referrals. By teaching compassion & care for pigeons & doves, we are modeling how all animals can be adopted rather than euthanized.
About the Organization
Palomacy Pigeon & Dove Adoptions saves homeless domestic (unreleasable) pigeons and doves throughout Northern California by providing rescue, foster care, avian vet treatment and adoption services (saving more than 2,500 locally since 2007) and helping countless others nationwide with 24/7/365 care coaching and referrals via our online Help Group and website resources. We are leaders in outreach and education revealing the hidden-in-plain-sight plight of these smart, loyal and under-served birds. Palomacy fills a deadly gap in the animal welfare community by saving the lives of birds that would otherwise be killed. We're volunteer-powered, donation supported and culture changing! We are increasing compassion and reducing cruelty. Join us! www.PigeonRescue.org
