Every Rescue Story
Deserves a Happy Ending
C.A.R.E. Group of Ohio, Inc. is a dedicated no-kill rescue shelter with a mission taken from the Bible in Genesis 1: 28, where God instructed us to have dominion over all the animals. That means we must care for them as well. We strive to prevent euthanasia, advocate for responsible pet ownership, and work to bridge the gap between high-risk shelters and loving forever homes. For those who cannot find appropriate forever homes, we provide a safe and loving environment for them to live out their natural lives in peace.
Heartwarming Success Stories
Every animal we rescue comes with a past, but together we give them a future. Here are a few of our recent friends in need and their journeys.
