Center for Animal Rescue and Enrichment of St. Louis
Our Mission
We believe in second chances. Our primary focus is the health and safety of the animals in our care- the abused, neglected, and homeless companion animals in St. Louis city- and pairing those animals with humans to better each other. We’re dedicated to implementing a long-term, holistic solution to the pet cruelty and overpopulation epidemic in our city through educating the public on responsible pet guardianship, lifesaving partnerships, and community outreach programs.
Adoption Policy
CARE STL uses a match-making style of adoption which focuses on pairing animals with humans to better each other based on the individual's needs and lifestyle.
We do our best to ensure the right pet for the person through an open, conversation-based approach to assess what the applicant is wanting in a companion animal.
Who Qualifies for Adoption?
- You must be 21 or older.
- You must be able to provide a secure, stable, and loving home environment.
- You must be able to provide the adopted animal with proper post-adoptive veterinary care.
Come by the shelter to fill out an adoption application or fill one out online to save you some time at the shelter. The purpose of this application is to gather information about your home, pets, and general lifestyle to help our adoptions counselors determine if the pet you wish to adopt is a good fit for both you and the pet.
