About this shelter

Community Animal Rescue & Adoption in Jackson, MS

Community Animal Rescue & Adoption is a rescue organization located in Jackson, Mississippi, about 6 miles southeast of the city. Guided by the motto "Until every cage is empty," CARA is dedicated to saving dogs and cats and works toward a future where every animal has a loving home. Every animal in their care is evaluated for physical, emotional, and behavioral issues, receives complete veterinary care and spay/neuter services, and adopters must complete a full application and personal interview to ensure a good match. The organization is open Monday through Saturday from 12:00 to 5:00 PM.
