The perfect addition

We were lucky enough to rescue Isla (previously Reba) 5 weeks ago and she’s been the most amazing addition to our family. She has two rescue brothers and they all get along great. She also has two kitty sisters that love her. She was so well fostered that she didn’t take any time to warm up…it’s as if she was made for our family! My favorite Isla trait is her …

I Didn’t Know How Much I Needed a Rat Until I Had One

In December 2019, mid-Covid quarantine, the kids and I were having a very difficult time. I am a single mother of two kids that I have raised largely alone since ages one and four (now 16 and 19). Like everyone, we experienced a lot of loss over the many months of Covid. We were lucky enough that it wasn’t loss of people we love or of income; but there were …

Life with Louie

I’ve always been a cat person. It’s hard to imagine life without them. Three seems to be the magic number for my house and when I lost Andrew to a probable cancer the world was off axis. My 2 female cats Pandora and Phoebe felt it too. Andrew left big paw prints to fill, but I knew the best medicine would be to give another boy a happy home. Thankfully …

Linus (Theodore…able!)

Many years ago I committed to sharing a home with a wayward teenage pup who was all trouble and smiles. She had since grown into a wonderful mentor and I started looking for a pup to absorb all her goofy habits. CARE was there and ready to help our fur family find a great match. He’s a true gentleman with all, including the rescued barn cat, and is learning to …

You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown….and You’re Not So Bad Either Peppermint Patty!

We lost our almost 16 year-old Lhasa Apso mix, Lady, in early February, and didn’t think we would look for a new family member right away. But, when we saw the pictures of the Peanuts gang on the CARE website, we were ready! We originally had our eye on Charlie Brown, but also had a real connection with Peppermint Patty. After going back and forth about whether we could commit …

Wooley now Bruster!

We have been looking for an addition to our family for months. When Wooley was posted, we knew he would be the perfect fit! He gets along great with his older fur brother and loves playing in the backyard. We are so grateful we were chosen to love this goofy boy!

Love at first sight

From the moment we met Lucy, we knew we were in love. She is a blessing to our family, and especially to her fur brother, Kenny. Kenny was so excited to have a playmate, and he and Lucy love to play all day long (with naps in between!) . The entire adoption process with CARE was wonderful. The level of attention to pairing the right dog with us was exceptional. …

Biscuit (Delilah) and Hushpuppy (Margaret)

It’s been many years since I’ve had kitties in my house, but it finally felt like it was the right time. I was hoping to find a sweet pair of bonded girls – and Biscuit and Hushpuppy were the perfect fit! Biscuit has some eye damage due to the feline herpes virus, but you’d never know it. She loves to play, and chase her feather wand. Paper balls are a …

Leo (Willie Nelson) & Thea (Dolly Parton)

Leo (Willie Nelson) & Thea (Dolly Parton) We adopted these two beautiful & loving pair of kittens as they were hand raised together by the wonderful Rose and her mother. We were adding these two to our home that already had two rescued cats from the Wake County SPCA. These kittens have brought so much joy and love into our lives, especially after a tough year of COVID and my lower …

Our dog, Salvador!

We met our dog, Salvador, on April 18th at Dix Park in Raleigh. Our good friends, Tammy and Dahr, were fostering Salvador through CARE and they met my family at Dix Park. My three daughters (ages 6, 9, and 11) had NO idea that we were about to adopt a dog. They thought we were there to fly kites (which we did). We immediately fell in love with Salvador and …
