Meet Community Animal Rescue Effort In 2018, Community Animal Rescue Effort will open its own “furever home” at 4927 Main St., Skokie (at Main and Niles Center Road). This unique, all volunteer, notfor-profit, 501(c)(3), group that matches pets and people will expand its mission to serve the communities of the North Shore until our vision of no more homeless pets is achieved. C.A.R.E.’s Mission C.A.R.E.’s three goals are to rehome companion pets into safe, healthy, lifelong homes; to serve as a pet-focused educational and counseling resource for the community we serve; and to work to reduce pet overpopulation. As a “limited access, unlimited stay” organization, adoptable animals can remain with C.A.R.E. until the right home is found. C.A.R.E. believes every adoptable pet deserves a safe and loving forever home. Our approach balances the needs and expectations of the adopters we serve with the well-being of the animals we place. Special care is taken to match potential adopters with the right pets. C.A.R.E. continues its commitment by being a ready resource even after the pet is in its new home.
