UPDATE:

Wow, how exciting when an envelope is opened at CARA that contains a check for $17,163.55. This was the amount of our 1st check we received from your generous donations given in the first month of our SAVE CARA PETS fundraiser here at Firstgiving.com. We have another check coming in that will be for donations given after the 1st checks cutoff!
 
We are SO Close to the $30,000 goal that we set at the beginning of our fundraiser, but we need some help to push us over the top! I know more and more people are being hit hard by this economic and financial crisis, including my own family. I know how hard it can be to donate your time and money during these times. Please know that when someone is able to “spare a dollar” for our CARA pets it is really helping! Yes, $1 helps – especially when those $$ add up! Please continue to share our page so more caring people like you might “spare a dollar” ($1) with us.
 
As I mentioned in the beginning of the SAVE CARA PETS fundraiser, if only 10% of the MS Tri-county area could donate $1 each we could raise $45,000 for the animals at CARA.
 
Thank you all for what you have done and continue to do for the animals at CARA. November is here and so is CARA because of the care you have shown for our shelter and the CARA pets.  
     ------------------------------------------------- 
 
CARA Community Animal Rescue & Adoption in Jackson, MS is discussing plans of closing it doors in the next few weeks.  We have exhausted every means we know to stay open.  We continue to fundraise & donations are coming in, but even our bare minimum expenses outweigh the amount of money coming in.  Every $1,000 raised will keep us open another day!
 

You may have heard the phrase, "The power of one can make a difference". At CARA we hope to prove that phrase accurate. If a friend came to you and asked if you could "spare a dollar" for them would you?  For every 1,000 "Friends" that can do that for us gives us another day! 

Please "spare a dollar" & then share this page with your friends & family. 

Local Population Info: Hinds, Rankin & Madison Counties combined have a population total of over 450,000 people.  If only 10% of the Tri-County population could "spare a dollar", just $1, we could raise $45,000 for CARA. 

Thank you for spending the time reading about us & we hope you will be able to help our current CARA pets & God willing our future CARA pets with their care in their journey toward "Forever Homes"!
