At our location near Aurora, we have a 15 acre sanctuary for unadoptable animals and pets that might just need some extra time to get back on their feet.

We utilize this place for many reasons. This location is complete with large yards and play areas so that our animals can have cage-less freedom to run and play. The sanctuary is a perfect place to unwind; pets can bask in the sun, romp with the other animals, or take a nap under a shade tree.

We also use the sanctuary location for quarantine and rehabilitation of our newly rescued animals. Because C.A.R.E. focuses on the rescue of neglected or abused pets and animals from death row, many of which have been running the streets, these animals are not typically ready for immediate adoption. We must first quarantine animals, while addressing all necessary veterinary care that each will require. During this quarantine time, we learn each animal’s individual needs and personality. So many have been through varying types of abuse and/or starvation. Often, they are sick or injured and some just have never experienced love and don’t know how to interact with people. Each animal is unique in the time and care they require. We provide nutritious food, medicine, and most importantly lots of TLC.  As time progresses the animals begin to trust, we then incorporate some basic training to help build communication and confidence.
