Established in 1992 and funded entirely by private grants and donations from individuals, CARE rescues at-risk dogs and cats without regard for their health status, age or adoptability, and seeks responsible homes for them. Unlike many rescue groups, the group does not have any time limits: Whether it takes 7 days or 7 years, all rescued animals here have a home for life. The organization also works to help other rescuers through adoption programs, distribution of City of L.A. Spay/Neuter vouchers and free lending of equipment.
