🐾💖PUPPY LOVE IS CALLING!💖🐾
✨FOSTER & FOSTER-TO-ADOPT HOMES NEEDED!✨

Just look at these faces! 😍 We have SO many beautiful puppies ready to start the next chapter of their lives—and what they need most right now is a family, a couch, and a whole lot of love! 🏡🐶💕

These sweet babies are ready to leave the shelter environment and experience all the wonderful things that come with being part of a family. They’re ready to learn about potty training, toys, snuggles, car rides, new sounds, new experiences, and what it means to be someone’s very best friend. 🥹❤️

And here’s where YOU come in! 👇

🐾 FOSTER: Open your home temporarily and help one of these little ones grow, learn, and become the amazing dog they’re meant to be.

🐾 FOSTER-TO-ADOPT: Think you might already be looking for your next family member? This could be the perfect way to welcome a puppy into your home while helping them begin their happily-ever-after. ❤️

🐾 CONSIDER TWO! 👀🐶🐶
If you’ve ever thought, “Maybe I could foster a puppy…” — why not make it two puppies?! 😁 There’s double the puppy breath, double the zoomies, double the cuddles… and double the fun!

Fostering isn't just about giving a puppy a place to stay. You're helping shape their future. You’re teaching them how to be confident, well-adjusted family companions and giving them the foundation they need to succeed for the rest of their lives. 🥰

And trust us… Puppy cuddles are a pretty amazing thank-you. 🥹🐾💕

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to add some puppy energy, unconditional love, and four little paws to your life, NOW IS THE TIME! ❤️

🌟 Yuno • Percy Jackson • Molly • Link • Sparkle • Coco • Grover • Luke Castellan • Annabeth Chase • Thalia Grace • Tyson • Clarisse La Rue • Kiki • And more 🌟

They’re all waiting for someone to say: “Come home with me.” 🏡💗

👉 FOSTER saves lives. FOSTER-TO-ADOPT changes them forever.

Could one of these precious faces be your next adventure? 🐶✨

👀Look at my faaaaaancy new bandana 😉😉 My name is Retro, and I'm a 5.5-year-old Lab mix. I'm a big baby at heart, as you can see by the way I parade around with an oversized pacifier in my mouth :) I'm obviously a goofball; your first clue is my mugshot taken last month where I'm sticking out my tongue😛 No, I didn't get any tats while I was 'doin time' but I still have quite a few stories I plan on telling my future family about my time in the slammer!
Enough about my past, let's talk about my extensive checklist for the perfect family.
✅Treats
That pretty much sums it up.
I'm good with dogs, kids, I'm housetrained, fixed, vaccinated, microchipped, and 100% available, so if that all sounds as good as I think it does, come meet me today! The C.A.R.E. Adoption Center is at 1328 W Sunshine St and open today and tomorrow from 11am-7pm. I sure hope I see you soon. I didn't put on this bandana for nothin'!

🐾❤️ ZIGGY IS READY TO LEAVE HIS PAST BEHIND… AND FIND HIS FOREVER! 🐾❤️

Meet Ziggy — a handsome 4-year-old, 65-pound boy with a BIG personality, an even BIGGER heart, and a story that will tug at yours. 🥹💕

Ziggy joined the C.A.R.E. family late last year after being rescued from the pound with a bullet lodged in his foot. Thankfully, our veterinarians determined it didn’t need to be removed, and this incredible boy has made a wonderful recovery. ❤️‍🩹

But here's the thing about Ziggy… his past doesn't define him.

Today, Ziggy is all about having FUN, being LOVED, and staying close to his people. 🥰 He may be a big 65-pound boy, but at heart? He's just a giant baby who wants to be included in everything! 😂❤️

🎾 He loves to play and show off his spunky side.
💕 He absolutely LOVES his people.
🛋️ When playtime is over, he's ready for affection and cuddle time.
🐾 He bonds deeply and wants nothing more than to know his family is nearby.

Ziggy isn't looking for anything complicated. He just wants what every dog deserves — a family who will cherish him, spoil him, include him, and make him feel like the beloved member of the family he has always deserved to be. ❤️

And honestly… if you're the kind of person who wants a loyal shadow, a fun-loving companion, and a big ol' cuddle buddy all rolled into one…

Ziggy may have been waiting for YOU. 😉🐶💞

🏠 The C.A.R.E. Adoption Center is OPEN RIGHT NOW! Come meet Ziggy — and while you're here, say hello to the DOZENS of other amazing adoptables waiting for their forever families!

Ziggy's past is part of his story… but YOU could be the best chapter yet. 📖❤️

Our local animal control is overflowing, and C.A.R.E. is constantly at full capacity. Every foster home and kennel is full. Our team works tirelessly—morning and night, 7 days a week—doing everything we can to help. The pound remains packed with animals, still hoping for a chance at life.
We’re deeply grateful for the community’s support that allows us to keep going. If you’ve ever wondered how to help, it’s easier than you think:

❤ This is Precious, pretty much 100% pure, unrefined puppy chaos in the BEST way possible. 😁

She’s a total goofball, always looking for the next thing to jump into—literally. Mud puddle? She’s in it. Backyard game with the kids? She’s reffing it. Lake day? Put a life jacket on this girl because she’s diving headfirst into the weekend.

She’s also got this hilarious move where she rolls onto her back, her lip flaps fall completely upside down, and she just hits you with the goofiest, toothiest smile you’ve ever seen. You physically cannot take yourself seriously around her.

Precious is the dog you bring along when you actually want to do stuff. She’s got huge zoomie energy, a big ridiculous heart, and zero interest in being a couch potato (unless she’s completely passed out after a full day of running amok).

If you want a timid lap dog who needs to be handled like fine china, she ain't it. But if you’re looking for a ride-or-die adventure buddy who will get dirty, keep up with the kids, and make you laugh until your stomach hurts, Precious is ready to roll!

❤ We are incredibly grateful for 11-year-old Ayden Brandon, a bright, sweet, and compassionate young man who did something special for the animals of C.A.R.E.! Out of the kindness of his heart, and in honor of their beloved dog Gabby who had recently passed away, Ayden set a goal to collect towels for our shelter animals. He reached out to family and friends across multiple states and didn't just meet his goal; he collected more than 100 towels! 🐾 THANK YOU, Ayden, for making a difference. And thank you for showing us that kindness doesn't have to be complicated; sometimes, it starts with one little idea, a big heart, and the desire to help those who need it most. 🐶🐱

Meet Mazakeen! 🐾🤎

Mazakeen is an adorable brindle Pitbull mix with a sweet, friendly personality. This gorgeous girl is loving and playful with a fun diva attitude, but she also truly knows how to embrace her calm side. She isn’t rowdy at all—Mazakeen is perfectly happy to take things at a relaxed pace and simply soak in the company of her favorite people. With her stunning brindle coat and gentle face, she is as pretty as she is lovable, serving as a sweet reminder of just how resilient shelter dogs are. She deserves a forever home where she can finally feel safe, cherished, and endlessly loved.

If you are looking for an easygoing companion with a gentle soul, Mazakeen might just be your perfect match! Give this sweet pup the chance to show you all the love she has to give by filling out a Match Me form online at [suspicious link removed] to get pre-approved.

Every C.A.R.E. rescue dog comes fully vaccinated, heartworm-tested, spayed/neutered, and microchipped, so all you need to bring to the table is the love! Our adoption fee is a minimum $150 tax-deductible donation, which goes directly toward the rescue and medical care of animals in need. Even if you don't have room in your home to adopt right now, you can still help us save lives! As a non-profit that isn't city or state funded, we rely entirely on private support. To learn more or make a lifesaving donation, please visit our website 🫶🏻
