MickaCoo Pigeon & Dove Rescue saves homeless domestic (unreleasable) pigeons and doves in the SF/Bay Area from euthanasia by providing veterinary care, foster and forever homes.

​

MickaCoo fills a deadly gap in the animal welfare community by saving the lives of domestic/unreleasable doves and pigeons that would otherwise be killed. We're volunteer-powered, donation supported and culture changing! By providing avian vet care, foster and forever homes, we've saved more than 600 birds' lives since 2007.

Online application, phone screen, home visit, adoption contract and $10/bird adoption fee.
