Annie’s journey with C.A.R.E. was for almost 3 years. Orphaned Annie was young and exuberant, wasn’t a fan of any truck or bicycle that crossed her path, but loved her volunteers. In her outside run she felt the stress of being confined and never could settle down.


• Our office coordinator suggested letting her hang out. in the office. Annie inside was a different dog. Playful but protective with a sense of calm. Now the challenge was for someone else to see that side of her. We say every dog has an owner; we just have to Be patient and let them find each other.


• A Christmas Miracle December 2024! Christmas Eve, Annie found her owners. They promised to show love and patience and give her the time she needs to adjust to her new life.


• Rorie (Annie’s new name): “She is settling in nicely. We had people over for Christmas, and she was a big hit. She’s such a smart, loving baby. We, and our family and friends, are in love with her.” Warner Family

My husband and I adopted a kitten, Bolt (formerly Mouse), in September. Our last cat passed away in March of this year. We had heard about the C.A.R.E. and the attention your animals receive from your volunteers, so when it came time to adopt again, we knew our first stop would be C.A.R.E. What a wonderful addition Bolt has been to our family. He was comfortable in our home right away. Bolt is playful, fun, and loving. We have our morning conversations before he rests on our laps for a bit.
