CARE — Central Arkansas Rescue Effort for Animals

CARE was established in 1998 for the dual purpose of rescuing abandoned dogs and cats facing euthanasia as well as to provide programs to help people get their pets sterilized. From a group of 4 initial volunteers, CARE has grown to the point where hundreds of volunteers devote thousands of hours to our rescue and spay-neuter operations. Since CARE does not have a shelter facility, we use this website as a virtual shelter where you can view pets available for adoption and submit an adoption application on line.

CARE is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of Harry Light-President, Virginia Boyd-Vice President for Rescue, Ava Hicks-Secretary, Diane Tidwell, Jan Smith, Marsha Allbritton, Carrie Kessler, Dr. Kim Miller and Dr. Laura Lamps.
