Athena's Story

Meet Athena, our 4-year-old, 70-pound bundle of love with a heart as big as her goofy, toothy smile! This sweet black Lab was rescued from the city pound with her puppy, Nugget, and she's been spreading joy ever since. Athena is as outgoing as she is snuggly-whether she's curling up like an oversized lap dog or gently pressing her head into your side, she just wants to be close to her people. Her playful personality and affectionate nature make her the perfect companion for anyone who believes there's no such thing as too much dog love.

C.A.R.E. Animal Rescue's Adoption Policy

All animals are spayed / neutered before they are available for adoption. This helps reduce pet overpopulation in the Ozarks - the highest in the country. Each animal is current on vaccinations. Both dogs and cats must receive three total sets of vaccinations to prevent deadly animal diseases. All animals at C.A.R.E. are kept current on their vaccinations while in our care (All animals are vaccinated for Bordetella or "kennel cough", DA2PPV, CVK-puppies, DA2PPV, Lepto-adult dogs, FVRCP-C-kittens & adult cats). Dogs and cats above the age of 12 weeks old also receive their rabies shots and are sent home with a rabies certificate, collar, & rabies tag. If a puppy or kitten is adopted before they have received the total three vaccinations, it is the responsibility of the adopter to provide them. Each animal has been dewormed and treated for fleas. Worms are parasites that can cause serious damage to your pet. C.A.R.E. deworms all of the animals in our care.
