Operation: CARE

Found - Dog Hit by Car

One of OperationCARE members found this dog, we named her Cleo, lying in the road on her way home (rural area of York, S.C.) obviously having been struck by a car and terribly wounded.  One leg is very bad and it was feared that it may have to be amputated, but the vet says that an operation may save the dog's leg.  He quoted $600 for the surgery and hospitilization. 

If you can  help with even a small donation for this  Send to OperationCARE, Angie Hucks, 2756 Dr. Nichols Rd., York, S.C. 29745 or make a donation through Pay Pal.

 

MINGLE WITH THE MUTTS!

Come visit us at the Petsmart stores located in Rock Hill S.C., South Boulevard, N.C., Matthews N.C., most Saturdays between 1 pm and 4 pm. We will have some of our foster animals for your to visit! If you have a pre-approved application, we will accommodate you, if possible, by bringing a particular animal or animals to the store for you to meet. We also have adoptable cats in the Rock Hill, Matthews, and South Boulevard Petsmart Stores. The cats are in the store all the time, so please come visit with them anytime!

Use Our Low Cost Spay/Neuter Program

To help to slow the unending stream of unwanted dogs and cats, Operation CARE has received the Turner Family Grant to help the public with low cost spay/neuter for their pets. Please call 803-417-3650 for more information about our spay and neuter program. Have a pen and paper ready to take down details.

Who We Are

Operation CARE (Carolina Animal Rescue Effort) is a non-profit, all volunteer animal welfare organization. Our mission is to minimize the need for euthanasia of healthy, adoptable pets in local Carolina shelters by providing a low-cost spay/neuter option to people in the community and by providing temporary care for homeless animals until they can be placed in quality permanent homes. Our Rescue-Adoption Program focuses primarily on the rescue of animals from area shelters. However, we do attempt to help Good Samaritans in the community who have found homeless or abandoned animals who are destined for shelters. Donations make it possible for us to continue our efforts. We are solely supported by donations and adoption fees. Animals up for adoption through Operation CARE have been fully vaccinated and spayed or neutered and micro-chipped.  Dogs have been tested for heartworms and cats have been tested for FeLV and FIV. These animals are cared for in foster homes where their personality and behavior can be assessed for the most appropriate permanent home.

How to Adopt a New Friend

Our adoption process begins with a completed application. Please email the pet's foster caregiver at their email address which is listed under the picture of the pet you are interested in and request an application. Adoption is dependent upon finding an appropriate match for the pet and the person adopting. No pet will be adopted without an approved veterinary reference. First time pet owners without veterinary references are considered on a case by case basis. Once an appropriate match is determined, a home visit may be requested by one of the Operation CARE volunteers. Operation CARE does require a minimum donation to help cover veterinary costs. Donations make it possible for us to continue our efforts. We are solely supported by donations and adoption fees. All adoptions require a signed adoption contract.
