Description
Carolina Animal Rescue &Adoption is a no-kill, non-profit animal shelter located in Sanford, NC. We rescue dogs/cats from high-kill shelters across many counties in Central NC. CARA took over the mission and the small shelter from the SanLee Humane Society in 2004. Since then, we have rescued thousands of animals in search of their FURever Homes! We are fueled entirely by donations and fundraisers! We receive no public funding or grants so we rely heavily on events like these to help maintain our shelter, give the medical care to our animals as well as spay/neuter before being adopted to their furever homes! Ride For Their Lives! began in 2009 when a few cycling enthusiasts came to us with an idea of a Bike Ride to raise money!! It's become our largest fundaiser for CARA!!! *All Levels are Welcome to Ride!!*
