NEXT BIG EVENT -- Great Scott will host "Putting on the Dog" at their store, 4400 Old Canton Rd, Saturday June 8, 2013, from 11am to 3pm. The Manship Wood Fired Kitchen will donate great food and Campbell's Bakery will donate sweets for the event. Both will be offered for a great price to help raise money for the shelter. We'll have a silent auction, vendor/crafts market, children's carnival for the kids, and adorable CARA pups available for adoption! Come eat, shop and play while raising money for CARA!
THANK YOU -- CARA's 1st Annual Jail-N-Bail at The Renaissance in Colony Park in Ridgeland was a success despite the gloomy weather. We appreciate all those who were ARRESTED and JAILED! We raised a lot of BAIL to replace damaged kennels at the Shelter. Thanks to all who participated! Check our our Facebook Album for the event.

Pet of the Week
Tommy, Scooter and Timmy are male tabbies who are 6 to 7 weeks old, weaned and litter trained. Tommy and Scooter are balls of energy while Timmy is a little more reserved.
Lucy is a female Pointer mix who is about 2.5 years old. She was taken out of a hoarding situation by the Humane Society of the U.S. and brought to CARA. Lucy lives to be loved on; she is the kind of dog that would fit into any home.
This program has provided funds for over 60 animal organizations around the state of Mississippi, primarily with their spay/neuter efforts. By promoting this fund, we are helping animals all over our state. Click here or on the image above.
