WELCOME — we’re so glad you’re here.
The fact that you chose to visit us says something important: you care. And that’s exactly why CARE STL exists — to build a community where people and animals are protected, supported, and valued.
Every life we save, every family we help, every animal we comfort is possible because of compassionate people like you. Our strength comes from the collective heart of our volunteers, donors, adopters, fosters, and staff.
And the truth is… there is always room for more.
Whether you’re here to adopt, volunteer, donate, or simply learn more — you are part of the change.
You belong in this community of kindness.
Welcome to CARE STL.
We’re grateful you’re here.
Our shelter is facing a serious financial crisis. Every day, animals continue to come through our doors needing medical care, food, shelter, enrichment, and a safe place to land. At the same time, we are facing the realities of an aging, heavily used facility, rising costs, and the need to strengthen the financial and operational foundation of our organization.
For years, CARE STL has been a place of second chances for animals with nowhere else to go.
Now CARE STL needs a second chance, too. This is about more than getting through a difficult moment. It is an opportunity for a fresh start.
Donations are currently being matched, which means your donation will be doubled thanks to generous supporters.
