CARES (Community Animal Rescue & Educational shelter) in Brooksville, FL

CARES was officially established in September 2007. Following our involvement in search and rescue efforts in Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina, we recognized the need to take further action. We primarily rescue pets from kill shelters, ensuring they receive veterinary care, spaying or neutering, microchipping, vaccinations, and deworming, along with plenty of love. We are committed to finding these pets their forever homes once they are fully prepared for adoption.
