C.A.R.E. Animal Rescue

If you'd like to help us save more lives, please visit www.carerescue.org/donate :) We are, and have always been, a NO-KILL rescue. C.A.R.E. Sunshine St.).
(306)

We are a non-profit organization founded in 1992 by Director Melissa Sartin dedicated to the prevention of cruelty to animals. We have an inspected and licensed facility that is in good standing with the state. Our animals are never euthanized for cage space, nor are they every transported to another facility for disposal. Every animal is cared for until the right family comes long to take them ho

me. consists of two cage-free adoption centers which house our adoptable animals, who are waiting for homes (1328A-B W. This center is open to the public Thursday-Saturday from 10am to 4pm. also has a sanctuary located near Aurora MO. This is where we treat incoming animals in our clinic, and house our special needs animals, or those that may need a longer rehabilitation time before being placed for adoption. Often these animals were rescued from terrible situations and require a little TLC before they become ready to go to a family. We also care for our more unusual rescues there, such as goats, pigs, iguanas, ducks, horses and more animals that need the open space the sanctuary provides. relies solely on the kindness and donations of the public to care for our animals. We are not city or state funded and all donations are tax deductible. All of our pets are spayed or neutered before being put up for adoption. We support early-age spay/neuter programs for shelters. Spaying/neutering prior to adoption is the only way to guarantee that none of our shelter animals will contribute to the pet overpopulation problem. We also employ an application process that helps us better match pets and people. Prospective adopters are carefully screened to ensure that we find the best fit possible for the animal, based on the needs and personality of each individual dog or cat. does not accept in animals from the public. We rescue animals from kill shelters that would otherwise be destroyed. Please do not ask us to take in an animal. Visit our lost and found animals page to learn more.

Is your house very quiet, and you like it that way?
Need a little company, but don’t want to listen?
Would like a pet but not something high maintenance or needy?
Love cats?
If you answered yes to most of these questions then have we got the purrrfect answer!
The obvious solution would be to get you a “Bud”!
Bud is a handsome, refined senior cat that is looking for a new friend. You see, Buds momma had to go to an assisted living home where Bud couldn’t tag along. This has been very hard on Bud but he’s coming around with all the love he gets daily here from his C.A.R.E. family. A loving home that wouldn’t ask too much of him would be just the place to heal this broken heart 💔 the rest of the way.
Come by the adoption center to give Bud some chin scratches or share his perfect face to help him find his forever home🐈‍⬛

🎶It's beginning to look a lot like Chriiistmaaaas... at the C.A.R.E. Adoption Center! Why? Because we have Mrs. Claus, Gingerbread, Eggnog, and Tinsel all up for adoption! These little ladies (and boy) are recent rescues that would love a new home for the holidays. They're fixed, vaccinated, litterbox trained, and enjoy playing and cuddling with people and/or their feline friends ❤ If you'd like to meet them, or any of the other adoptables at the C.A.R.E.

Hello there! I'm Betty Boop, a 6-year-old lab mix who's as friendly and gentle as they come.🥰 I love greeting everyone with a wag of my tail or a soft nudge of my snoot. I'm the perfect companion for those quiet nights in, or I'm always up for a gentle stroll around the block. I've got a heart full of love to give, just waiting to find my forever family. I should mention I’m great with friendly dogs and cats, too!? There are so many other reasons to love me, but if you'd like me to show you for myself, please come meet me at the C.A.R.E. Adoption Center Thurs-Sat 10AM-4PM. I can’t wait to see you!!

We are thankful for YOU!

This incredibly sweet girl with the prettiest brindle coat is Topaz, and she's every bit as precious as the gem she's named after! Just over a year old, her world currently revolves around wagging her tail and giving out the best puppy kisses. As a hound mix, her nose is her guide, leading her on fun adventures and to yummy treats too! She's great with other dogs, and does well with children, too! You might be wondering about her size? She's a light 40 pounds, perfect for those cuddle sessions on the couch! Come meet Topaz and all her friends in person at the C.A.R.E. Adoption Center. :)

Meet Jingle and Bells, a very sweet pair of bonded brothers we rescued last month 🥰 They're very friendly and by the sound of their cute little squeaks, they enjoy being held and snuggled just as much as we enjoy holding them :) Jingle and Bells are around 1 year old and love vegetables and chin scratches. If you'd like to meet them, the C.A.R.E. Adoption Center will be open tomorrow through Saturday from 10am to 4pm. They can't wait to meet you!

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! My name is O'rion, and I'm a 4-year-old Dane/Pitbull/Goofball mix 🙂 Did you know "Goofball" is a dog breed? I didn't either, but everyone around here keeps calling me one so it HAS to be a new breed that I've never heard about. Other than being a goofball, I'm a loyal friend who loves to be by your side, whether we're playing fetch or just chilling on the couch. I've got a playful spirit that keeps life exciting, and a goofy personality that's sure to make you laugh. My smarts shine through in everything I do, whether it's learning new tricks or figuring out where you hid my favorite toy. Despite my playful nature, I'm also a gentle soul who loves nothing more than a good cuddle session. I'm a loyal companion who's looking for a forever home where I can share my love. Adopting me means gaining a friend who will bring joy, laughter, and loyalty into your life every single day. If you'd like to meet me, the C.A.R.E. Adoption Center will be open Thursday-Saturday from 10am to 4pm. I hope to see you then!

💖O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?
Well, you may not be Juliet, but you've found our little loverboy, Romeo! He's a 4-year-old Tabby that we rescued from Animal Control about 2 weeks ago. He had a growth on his abdomen, but after a visit to our vet, we discovered it's just a non-invasive lipoma on his stomach 🙂 The vet says he's a very healthy boy and does not recommend removal unless it grows or interferes with his mobility. Romeo had also broken his tibia which healed incorrectly in his pre-rescue life, but he's adjusted to his new walk and it doesn't seem to cause him any pain. 💗 Along with everything else he's endured, Romeo was also front declawed. Sweet Romeo has an AMAZING temperament considering everything he has been through. He's good with other cats, may appreciate the company of friendly dogs, and will make a wonderful addition to one lucky family. And bonus points for the family that has little stairs or a ramp for him to get up and down from comfortable places. He loves the stairs we have for him at the sanctuary :) If you'd like to meet Romeo, please come to the C.A.R.E. Adoption Center this week! He will be showing off his love and affection Thursday-Saturday from 10am to 4pm, and he would love to see you... and love even more going home with you !🙂

📸 Picture this: I was living the dream, chasing laser pointers, and munching catnip to my heart's desire... and I suddenly found myself at the city pound! They told me not to worry because they were going to take good care of me... and they did :) After a little while at Animal Control, some people from CARE took me in and put me in this fancy room at their adoption center where I've been able to meet all sorts of people. I actually feel like I’m famous because all of my admirers are always asking me for a photo shoot! That's fine... I don't mind striking a pose ooooone bit, and I'm getting pretty good at it if you ask me! I first got here back in August so I have quite a few friends here but I'd really like to find a human family I can call my own... and if you have cats, that's ok too! Dogs make me reeeaaally nervous, so I need a family without one of those things. I'm a bit shy at first, but give me a minute and I'll be purring in your lap in no time. I'm curious, cuddly, glamorous and promise to keep you laughing with my playful antics... especially when I'm showing off my sneak-attack skills on unsuspecting toys! So, how about it? Want to add a little Cedar to your life? I sure hope so! All you need to do is come by 1328 W Sunshine St and ask for Cedar! These nice people will lead you right to me :) I'll see you soon!

Hello there! I'm Nala, a 6-year-old Shepherd/Husky mix... aaaand your future best friend! 😁 As you can see in my pictures, my days are filled with fun, whether I'm chasing a toy or just goofing around. Although I was rescued from Animal Control only a week ago, I've already become known around C.A.R.E. for my intelligence, loyalty, and gentle nature ☺️ I'm a sweet girl and my playful side never fails to bring a smile to everyone's face. I interact wonderfully with other dogs, and I walk well on a leash... which is perfect for those leisurely strolls we could take together 😉 My beautiful blue eyes are full of love and I can't wait to find a forever home. By adopting me, I promise you'll be gaining a loyal companion who will shower you with unconditional love and loyalty the rest of my days. If you ask me, I think it's time for us to make beautiful memories together! You can visit me at the C.A.R.E. Adoption Center Thursday-Saturday from 10am to 4pm... unless I get adopted before you get there that is :) I hope I see you soon!

Sally's surgery was an overwhelming success!! :) Since Friday's emergency life-saving surgery, Sally has been relaxing at the Sanctuary, soaking up as much love and attention as we can possibly give her. She has been a VERY good patient, and has come to appreciate food much better when she's hand-fed ☺️ If you missed her initial post, you can see it here:
https://www.facebook.com/careanimalrescue/posts/723166583171616
Sally is still healing so her activity has been very limited, but she has enjoyed her leash walks around the Sanctuary. She's not quite out of the woods yet; two tumors were discovered on Friday so those will need to be removed and tested when she's healthy enough for another surgery, probably in a couple of weeks. As for now, we are so thankful for your support that allowed us to rescue this sweet girl and immediately get her into surgery. We'd also like to give another shoutout to the wonderful staff at Spring Valley Veterinary Hospital - EAST who was able to work her into their busy schedule, saving her life!
Sally has such a loving soul, and we are so thankful that your support was able to give her another chance. We look forward to her second surgery going as well as the first, and can't wait to get her fully rehabilitated.
And if you'd like to foster Sally during this time, please fill out a foster application! She won't be available to adopt for another month or two, but with our sanctuary continually at capacity, we sure could use a few more foster families right now. Thank you :)

🚨Emergency Rescue In Progress!🚨

Earlier today, we received an urgent plea for IMMEDIATE medical assistance from Springfield Animal Control. An 8 to 10-year-old German Shepherd was surrendered yesterday and was thought to be pregnant. The microchip was traced back to a breeder, but they had no information available. After being checked over by their vet, it turns out she was not pregnant, but was diagnosed with a very serious and life-threatening infection, pyometra.
Unable to treat her infection and out of options, Animal Control called to see if we would be able to take her. Although our emergency rescue funds are at critical levels and we are at capacity, we made some additional calls and figured out how we would be able to take her in and get her the immediate help she desperately needs.
A BIG thanks to the amazing team at Spring Valley Veterinary Hospital - EAST for letting us rush her straight to them! They ran bloodwork, confirmed her diagnosis, and prepped her for immediate surgery... which is happening right now! Her estimated bill is $600, with additional care and costs to surpass this estimate.
If you're able to help her, please click the "Donate" button accompanying this post, or visit www.carerescue.org/donate . Every dollar helps. Every share helps. Thank you so much for the love you've shown more than 25,000 animals we've been able to give a second chance. Every single rescue is the result of your support. Thank you. Thank you. THANK YOU 🙂
We look forward to sharing PAW-sitive updates soon!

💓This total sweetheart is Elsie, an 11-year-old Collie mix that was found all alone, wandering through a field. Every attempt was made to find her previous family but they were unable to be located :( Elsie has since been seen by the vet for an exam and bloodwork, both of which came back perfect!
This beautiful girl is just a sweet old soul looking for the perfect home to enjoy her golden years. She's house trained, loves people, and she gets along great with other dogs! Elsie is also deaf but that doesn't slow her down a bit, and she LOVES to go for rides in the car... and pretty much anything else as long as she's by your side! Elsie is just looking for a special somebody to adopt her... Someone who needs her love as much as she needs theirs! Maybe that special someone is you?? If you'd like to meet Elsie, or any of the adoptables at the C.A.R.E. Adoption Center, we are open Thursday-Saturday from 10am to 4pm. We hope to see you soon!

🌼This little sweetheart is Daisy. At around a year old, she found herself sitting on death row as a soon-to-be mother. After her rescue, she gave birth to 4 beautiful babies and was the perfect mother to them... so perfect that we introduced several other stray kittens that she raised as her own ❤️ Now that her natural and adopted little ones have been spayed, neutered, and are ready for adoption, Mamma Daisy is, too! As you can see, she is a gorgeous girl with so much love to give, and we can't wait for her to find her forever family. If it might be you, the C.A.R.E. Adoption Center is open tomorrow and Saturday from 10am to 4pm. She, and dozens of other adoptables, would love to see you!

🐰 3 Beautiful Bunnies Seeking Perfect Pampering Home
Kai, Luna, and Nina are 3 of the sweetest… and most spoiled rabbits, ever! 😊 But why shouldn’t they be?! Every animal deserves unconditional love, and this trio has received exactly that. Unfortunately, their current foster is no longer able to care for them and we are looking for a very special adopter that’s willing to welcome all 3 of these happy hoppers into their home.
The Kai and Luna are a brother/sister combo born July 16, 2022, and Nina was added to the family in October of last year. They are just over a year old and love each other dearly. All of which are double-maned Lionheads which means they will require a healthy diet and consistent brushings to maintain their beautiful fur.
They are very intelligent, and understand many commands including, “up”, “down”, “dinner time”, “bedtime”, “treat”, and more! While they might not enjoy being picked up, they're always eager to interact, especially when treats are involved. 😉 They're accustomed to enjoying outdoor adventures twice a week (weather permitting) either hopping around or riding in a stroller through their neighborhood. Did I mention they are spoiled. . . 💓
These three lovable rabbits are also spayed/neutered, well-trained in using a litter box, and have the freedom to roam during the daytime. They've never experienced being crated and are accustomed to bedtime being in a spacious, gated area with access to AC vents and cozy rugs to rest on.
Their dietary preferences include a variety of leafy greens, herbs, flowers, fruits, hay treats, bamboo sticks, bamboo plates, apple sticks, cardboard boxes, and more. It's safe to say they've been living a luxurious life, deeply cherished by their previous family who hopes they'll continue to bring joy and love to their new forever home.
If you’d like to offer Kai, Luna, and Nina the next chapter of their love story, please fill out a pre-adoption application at https://www.carerescue.org/small-animal-application . An adoption Counselor will give you a call at their earliest convenience to discuss the next step in the adoption process. Thank you 😊

Who is the cutie with the little speckled b***y?
Drum roll please 🥁🥁🥁it is my pleasure to introduce Piper! If you ask me they don’t get much better than this, she’s literally the whole package! At only 8 months old she has mastered house training as well as plenty of other commands, is sweet and cuddly, gentle and loves to play! Piper will be at the Adoption Center today until 4pm with lots of her amazing friends!

Our Story

We are a nonprofit organization founded in 1992 by Director Melissa Sartin dedicated to the prevention of cruelty to animals. We have an inspected and licensed facility that is in good standing with the state. We are, and have always been, a NO-KILL rescue. Our animals are never euthanized for cage space, nor are they every transported to another facility for disposal. Every animal is cared for until the right family comes long to take them home. C.A.R.E. consists of two cage-free adoption centers which house our adoptable animals, who are waiting for homes (1328A-B W. Sunshine St.). This center is open everyday from 10am to 6pm. C.A.R.E. also has a sanctuary located near Aurora MO. This is where we treat incoming animals in our clinic, and house our special needs animals, or those that may need a longer rehabilitation time before being placed for adoption. Often these animals were rescued from terrible situations and require a little TLC before they become ready to go to a family. We also care for our more unusual rescues there, such as goats, pigs, iguanas, ducks, horses and more animals that need the open space the sanctuary provides. C.A.R.E. relies solely on the kindness and donations of the public to care for our animals. We are not city or state funded and all donations are tax deductible. All of our pets are spayed or neutered before being put up for adoption. We support early-age spay/neuter programs for shelters. Spaying/neutering prior to adoption is the only way to guarantee that none of our shelter animals will contribute to the pet overpopulation problem. We also employ an application process that helps us better match pets and people. Prospective adopters are carefully screened to ensure that we find the best fit possible for the animal, based on the needs and personality of each individual dog or cat. C.A.R.E. does not accept in animals from the public. We rescue animals from kill shelters that would otherwise be destroyed. Please do not ask us to take in an animal.
