Soulmutt Success!

Our first ever "Find Your Soulmutt" event was held this Saturday, February 4, at WineStyles. It was a pet-adoption event modeled after speed dating. C.A.R.E. has never had an event like this in the past, so we were all so excited and nervous about it!

Each dog was set up at a table with a C.A.R.E. volunteer escort. Then, participants had the opportunity to spend a couple minutes with each dog. Participants could then contemplate their adoption decision over wine, cheese and entertainment!

All of us at C.A.R.E. agree that this event was such a success! We took 8 dogs to the event, and 4 went home with his/her perfect match that night!

Both KOLR10 and KY3 came out to get some footage of the event. Click on this link to see the segment from KY3!

Susan, Margo, and others assisted the media with coverage of the event.

C.A.R.E. had a great turnout of people!

Our musicians, Jeremy, Jack, and Sam really helped set the "date" mood. They are a very talented group of young men.

Cherie, a C.A.R.E. volunteer, escorted Remi, a Min-Pin/Sheltie mix, the evening of the event. Remi was adopted and is now living with her forever home. 

Join us for "Find Your Soulmutt" - Pet adoption event!

Mark your calendars! C.A.R.E. is excited to be kicking off its 20^th anniversary celebration with its first ever “Find Your Soulmutt” pet adoption event modeled after speed-dating. Just like many singles around Valentine’s Day, these dogs are just lookin’ for some lovin’. 

The event will be held WineStyles, 2640 S. Glenstone, on Saturday, February 4 from 6 – 8 p.m. 

Participants will spend a couple of minutes getting to know each dog and reviewing the entertaining descriptions that provide more information about the four-legged friends. Then, participants will make notes about their interaction with each dog and have some time, over wine, cheese and entertainment, to contemplate their adoption decision.

Admission into the event is free. There will be free wine-tasting and cheese available. Glasses and bottles of wine will be available for purchase.

Even if you are not in the market for another dog, you are welcome to join us in all the festivities! Please share this event with your friends.


We would also like to thank our sponsors; WineStyles, Copy Biz, and All About Dogs & Cats. We appreciate the support. C.A.R.E. is also still looking for a few more sponsors for this event. All donations are tax-deductible.
