Happy Endings for CARE pets!

I’m fortunate to work with a great guy (and his wife Joy) who are fosters for CARE. My mother had recently lost her beloved Chocolate Lab and was considering adopting another fur baby. We had discussed this sweet baby at work everyday. My mother was not in a position to take on the responsibility for another dog. The more I heard about this sweet baby and her “ruff” background… I…

We adopted Ella from CARE in the spring of 2021. She made herself right at home with us, keeping us laughing with her big personality and ridiculous curly back fur. Ella loves spending time in our yard (she’s a serious stick collector) and she’s developing a love for the beach too. It’s been great keeping up with her mom and her litter mates through their new families as they were…

After saying goodbye to two of our beloved kitties in 2020, we felt it was time to add another furry friend to our mix, so we decided to adopt a quiet somewhat playful kitty for our 6 yrs. old sweet settled down Mickey. I went online and looked and looked. Immediately upon seeing “Tom” Murphy’s sweet kind eyes, I wanted to meet him. We met Tom along with other kitties…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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!

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….
