What is the LifeSaver Initiative?
The LifeSaver Initiative at CARE is a specialized campaign aimed at rescuing animals from euthanasia and providing them with a second chance at life. This initiative encompasses various efforts such as rescue networking, providing medical care, fostering and adoption programs, and advocacy for animal rights and responsible pet ownership. The primary objective of the LifeSaver Initiative is to offer a lifeline to animals in need, ensuring they receive the care and support necessary to find loving homes and ultimately reduce the need for euthanasia.
All adoption fees for these dogs are fee-waived to get them into homes.
Our shelter continues to be at capacity, and we receive at least 10 new dogs, on average, every day. Kennel space is needed every day for our new arrivals, which means our team always has an urgency to move dogs out of the shelter. Because we have no open kennels and more dogs coming in than are going out, all the dogs on this list should be considered urgent placements. We are sharing this to find homes for these dogs as quickly as we can so that we do not have to euthanize them because of how full we are.
Dogs that are on the LifeSaver List are eligible to go to a foster home or adoption.
If you are interested in fostering a dog, please visit this page to fill out the foster signup form or email lifesaver@icarestl.org. These dogs are also eligible for fostering-to-adopt. The Foster-to-Adopt program aims to find suitable homes for hard-to-place dogs by avoiding prolonged stays in the shelter or foster care. Mirroring our adoption process, our goal is to match you with a dog that after two weeks in your home, you decide to adopt.
