My Nonprofit Reviews

I started volunteering at CARE Stl just over a year ago, when the pandemic hit and I had some extra time, and never looked back. As a medical student who spends a lot of time in the hospital and who doesn't have a lot of free time, I've made CARE a priority in my life because of how genuinely they believe in their mission. CARE treats their animals and their volunteers like family. They go above and beyond to keep their animals with families, offering free training classes for volunteers and even adopters to learn how to work with challenging animals and even offering one-on-one classes for adopters. Their CHEW program pairs volunteers with dogs that need more time and training. They truly treat each animal as an individual and clearly care immensely about both animals and volunteers. They are also a force for good in the community, boarding animals whose humans are temporarily hospitalized or evicted until they can be reunited and offering low-cost microchip and vaccination clinics. I'm so grateful to have stumbled upon CARE.
