Does Petsmart or any other pet store/animal shelter take in birds? Particularly parakeets?

Question

One of my parakeets just died and I am left with one. I know that if it stays lonely it will pluck its own feathers out. I won't be able to keep pets much longer because of going off to college so I really can't buy a new one. Are there any places that take in birds and cares for them? I don't know if location has anything to do with it but I live in Sugar Land, TX. Any help please?

Answer 1

try finding a friend or family friend to take him/her. if you cant find one then i think any petstore would take him/her because i know they do with small mammals and fish.

if they dont then see if theres a parakket rescue near you or a local shelter.

i would first try a family friend though since you knwo they are going to a good home!

Answer 2

Call your local ASPCA/Animal Rescue...they will help you and your feathered friend. kjl

Our local Petco has a list of Rescue volunteers. Call your local Petco and ask for the phone number if they have any in your area that will take your bird in.
