Community Animal Rescue & Adoption - CARA

16/07/2025

Looking for something to do this Saturday morning? Mama Mia has an idea for you!

CARA has a few projects we need some extra hands (and muscles, in some cases) to get accomplished. We have jobs kids 12 and up can help with too!

- Hanging new privacy screens on fencing
- Moving and setting up large chainlink fence panels
- Walking dogs
- Laundry
- Dishes
- Cleaning up play yards
- Cleaning, organizing, and setting up employee break room

Come to the shelter anytime between 8-12 this Saturday (July 19) and ask for Lisa. If you have work gloves or p**p scoops that may be helpful. Wear closed toe shoes and appropriate clothing for working outside. We will have plenty of cold drinks.

We love our community and look forward to spending time with you!

📢Tug has an important announcement!📢

We are looking for part time help to join our Kennel Care Team! 🐶

Positions available immediately.

Flexible schedule, no nights.

Four hour shifts available 7 days a week, morning or afternoon hours.

Full time hours may be available occasionally, but not guaranteed.

This is a great opportunity for students doing work study or someone looking to pick up a little extra income while spending time with dogs who need our help and attention.

Must love dogs! Bring your willingness to be a team player, ability to be reliable, as well as your desire to learn. We will teach you the rest!

Please be aware: This is physically demanding work in all weather conditions. Age 16 and up may apply.

Come to the shelter and ask for Lisa or email us at [email protected] for more information.

We have an exciting new volunteer opportunity to roll out!

Our dogs LOVE walks around our dog park and the play yards. A little one on one time with humans is an even bigger reward for them.

We’re all feeling the financial pinch lately. Instead of paying for a gym membership to get your cardio, why not join our walking team? Come to the shelter any day Tuesday through Saturday from 4-6. We will provide everything you need. You get your steps in and save a few dollars, while our dogs get an evening walk and some attention!

Please reach out to us through our website for details! Orientation starts on Tuesday July 22!

Here’s just a small sampling of our pups looking for walking buddies to entice you…

We are so thankful for all the support from area StorageMax locations and are so excited you are a Dog Days Sponsor each year!!! Thank you so much ❤️🐾❤️🐾

On June 7th, our StorageMax team had a blast at the 16th Annual Dog Days of Summer! 🐾🎉 This fun-filled, family-friendly event benefits Community Animal Rescue & Adoption (CARA), an incredible organization helping dogs and cats across Mississippi find loving homes. From live music and pet parades to microchipping and dog training demos, there was something for everyone—two- and four-legged alike! 🐶💙 We’re proud to support such an impactful cause in our community.

In happy times or troubled times, there is nothing so raw or so pure as the love of a dog. And dogs like this one, fill the heart up without even trying. 🥰

Happy Tuesday, y’all. Let love lead the way, today and every day. ❤️

Please keep your pets safe tomorrow and this weekend. Our state and shelters are already in crisis mode.

Introducing our newest available feline family! Dolly and her little tribe of four kittens! These five will not be adding to the current animal crisis here in Mississippi, but what they will be adding is a lot of love and snuggles into some lucky homes. They will all be ready to go to great homes on Saturday, July 12th, and they are ready for meet and greets now at Chipper & Coco! Applications now being accepted at carams.org.

If you’re looking to add a new feline to to your family, you won’t want to make a decision until you’ve met this precious family! How many kittens have you ever seen who willingly sit still on the scales while we document their weights? That’s a big zero for me! These babies and their mom are winners, all the way around! ❤️
