The C.A.R.E. shelter houses hundreds of homeless animals. We have our Adoption Center in Springfield, open seven days a week, which houses our current adoptable pets. Our sanctuary near Aurora is reserved for animals who may need some extra time to fully recover and become ready for adoption. Our unadoptable animals can also be found at our sanctuary, each spending their days with cageless freedom, their nights in warm beds, and receiving lots of love and individual attention.
The C.A.R.E. Mission:
- To rescue as many adoptable animals from "death row" as we can properly care for
- To provide medical treatment to sick or injured stray animals
- To combine an aggressive spay/neuter program with a high volume adoption program while providing quality lifetime care for unadopted pets
- To network with and provide a rescue service for other shelters, ultimately reducing the kill-rate in Southwest Missouri
