Visit our website at www.carepets.org for the latest info about CARE and our adoption fairs. Please note that we do not adopt animals out of the state of California. We are located in the San Francisco Bay Area (South Bay, specifically San Jose). If a phone # or email address is listed for the foster home, please call or email the foster home directly, rather than sending an email to the webmaster. You will receive a quicker response that way. Thank you!
Who We Are
Founded in 1987, CARE is a nonprofit, all volunteer, animal rescue organization based in Santa Clara County. We accept owner-relinquished, abandoned, abused and otherwise neglected kittens, cats, puppies and dogs that would otherwise face uncertain futures. These once homeless animals are taken into our volunteer foster homes where they receive quality nutrition, medical attention and lots of love and warmth until placed into quality, pre-screened, permanent homes at our adoption center located at 4190 Piper Drive in San Jose.
Because CARE is a "no-kill" animal rescue organization, our animals (baring severe illness) remain in foster care until adopted into quality, loving homes, regardless how long this may take. This long-term care can lead to further expenses over and above the animal's initial expenses.
Because CARE is a non- profit organization that does not receive local or federal funding, we depend on fundraisers along with support from our community to keep us operational. CARE is committed not only to saving the lives of homeless animals but to public education. It is our belief that with knowledge about responsible pet guardianship (in all its forms), we can curb and eventually end, the suffering of neglected animals and the tragedy of pet overpopulation which last year alone resulted in over 13 million pets euthanized in our nation's animal shelters every year.
Other community services provided by CARE include: referrals to low and no-cost spay/neuter services, grooming referrals, referrals to dog training and behavior classes, informational booths and displays at local community fairs, networking with other rescue groups, shelters, and humane societies and publishing our CARE newsletter one time per year for our members and adopters.
Adopting a friend
Our pet fairs are held at our storefront location in San Jose (see our website at www.carepets.org) for more specific information about days, times and how to get there. This is where most of our animals are shown each week and face to face interviews conducted for potential adopters.
