Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts of Dutchess County - CARE of DC

Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts of Dutchess County - CARE of DC CARE of DC is a "No Kill" organization. We take in animals that are "at risk" and try to find forever homes for them.

CARE of DC is a "No Kill", non profit organization. Our goal is to save as many animals from euthanasia as possible. We take our animals from high kill shelters and work to rehabilitate them and find forever homes. Our organization works closely with other rescues and shelters that share in our values. We have developed a strong network of "no kill" partners and we assist them on a regular basis.

We take in corporate donations, warehouse them and then work to distribute the donated food and supplies to our partners in need.

Say hello to Sassy 💖

This adorable girl is a 2 year old mixed breed pup who we rescued from Asheville, NC, after the hurricaine.

As you can see in her photos, she’s a happy little pup! She is potty trained, walks great on a leash and is a lover of all people- she is very friendly. We believe she likes other dogs (not sure about cats) but we can facilitate a meet and greet to be sure 🐾

Someone give this perfect pup the love & home she deserves!

Introducing Bentley 💙

Look at that smile! This gorgeous boy is a 7 year old lab mix, who is looking for his forever home 🏡
Bentley sadly lost his family when they found out his new human sibling was allergic to him 💔

Here are some facts about Bentley to help you decide if Bentley could be the right pup for you:

🔵 Bentley is completely potty trained, crate trained, and knows basic commands.

🔵 He’s an active little pup and loves long walks, hikes, and playing outside!

🔵 Bentley has an amazing temperament and fun personality. He’s quick to warm up and loves everyone he meets! Anyone would be lucky to add this sweet boy to their family🥰

🔵 Bentley does great with all people, kids, and cats. However, we have noticed him to be reactive towards other dogs. We think he would do best as an only dog—but if you have another dog in your home, we’d require a meet and greet with our trainer to be sure it would be a good fit for Bentley 🐾

If you want to learn more about Bentley or are interested in adopting, put in an application today!

Welcome, ROSE 🌹

Sweet Rose was rescued down in Ashevillle, NC after the hurricane. She is a small mix breed pup weighing about 16 lbs, and we believe her to be about 2 years old. Rose is very nervous, and will need time and space to warm up to new people and new places. Rose is potty trained, walks well on a leash and loves other dogs! 🐾

This little girl has clearly been through a lot, and needs a family who is understanding of that. Given the time to open up, Rose will be such a loving addition to any family 🥰

Meet Lilah 🌸

This adorable 4 year old wheaten terrier is looking for her forever home! 🏡

Lilah is very smart— she knows basic commands, walks well on a leash and is potty trained. She does well with other dogs and we believe she’d be okay with cats, too. 🐾

Lilah would be perfect for an active family who loves going on long walks or hikes, will keep up with her much needed grooming, and has time to dedicate to continuing her training. She needs a strong and experienced handler who will provide her the guidance she needs. If you think you might be a good fit for Lilah, please give us a call or send us a text at 845-240-4862 to inquire about her! 🥰

We are deeply thankful to Blue Buffalo for their incredible donation to Paws Crossed in Elmsford NY, which was then distributed. The trailer full of dog food, cat food, and treats has provided significant support to our shelter and many other local shelters in the area. Receiving two full pallets of food was a tremendous help.

Blue Buffalo's commitment to animal well-being is truly commendable. Their generosity has made a significant impact on the lives of countless animals in need.
Thank you, Blue Buffalo, for your unwavering support and dedication to improving the lives of animals.

We rarely get to post about our transports because we're usually too busy unloading. This time we took some pictures and we wanted to share them. These dogs and cats arrived last week. Most were spayed/neutered on Monday and are now ready for adoption. This is what it looked like when the van rolled in from Asheville, NC. We're so grateful for our volunteers that were there to help! ❤️

Meet Mello 💛

Looking for a fun-loving companion without the chaos of a puppy? Look no further!

Mello along with his brother Bruce, were found in their home after their owner passed away, and were brought to our rescue. Mello is a 10 year old boxer, and while he may not have the energy he did as a puppy—he’s still tons of fun! He loves going on walks, and walks great on a leash. We think Mello does well with cats, and he loves playing with other dogs! He’s well trained, knows basic commands, and is potty trained. What more can ya ask for?? He’s the perfect pup! We can’t wait to see this boy find his forever home, we know they will be one lucky family 💛🐾

If you are interested in Mello, please send us a message or fill out an application today 🤞🏼

Meet Rukus ❤️‍🔥

This gorgeous boy has been with us for 9 months, and not one application has come in for him 😢

We’ve shared this special pup with you before but here’s some fun facts again:

🐾 He is potty trained, and very respectful in a home— he’s got a great temperament and listens very well.

🐾 He takes no time to warm up, he loves all people he meets!

🐾 We think he would do best as an only pet, but we are open to meet and greets to be sure!

🐾 Rukus is a young active pup who will need lots of walks and exercise, but afternoon naps snuggling up on the couch are a must 😉

If you are interested in Rukus, reach out to us today! You won’t regret it

We are beyond grateful to Tails A Wagging for their incredible generosity in helping us secure three whole pallets of dog food, cat food, treats, toys, and so much more from Ocean state job lot. These much-needed supplies made their way to North Carolina shelters after the devastating hurricane. It's times like these that remind us how important it is to come together and support those in need.

A huge thank you to the Shelter Dog Transport Alliance for bringing these animals safely to us and for transporting all the donations back to the shelters.

We're so thrilled to share that we were able to take in dogs and cats to help relieve our partner shelters during this challenging time. All of the dogs we received are now available for adoption and are looking for loving homes.

Thank you again to everyone who made this possible! 🐾❤️

Everyone say hello to Addie — again!

Yes, this sweet girl is STILL at the shelter! 🤯Addie has been with us for 214 days now, and we cannot figure out why! Her littermates have all found forever homes, but somehow she has been overlooked. Here’s a little bit about this awesome pup:

💟 She is a 10 months old mix breed pup.

💟 She is a friendly with all people, she can just be shy at first when meeting new people. While it may take her a little while to warm up, once she does she gives the best hugs 🥰

💟 She loves playing with her dog friends here at the rescue, so we think she would do great with another dog! (She’s never met a cat yeth

💟 Addie would do best with an active family, she is still a young gal and loves long walks and playing outside.

If you think Addie would be a good fit for you, feel free to put in an application on our website, and reach out with any questions 🐾

Anyone who ends up with this sweet girl will be hitting the jackpot 🎰

Everyone say hello to Tiger!

Tiger is a sweet older gentleman, at about 12 years old. Tiger lived with his past family for his entire life, until they recently lost their home and had no choice but to bring him to the shelter. As you can imagine, this sweet boy is heartbroken and confused. He loves to go on walks, but loves curling up in your lap and cuddling even more 🥰 He is house trained, walks great on a leash, and friendly with all people, dogs & cats— what’s not to love??

We are hoping to find this deserving boy a great home to live out his golden years 💛🙏🏼 if you think you would be a good home for Tiger, fill out an application today at care of dc . org 🐾
