My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Ziggy

Ziggy is a handsome black-and-white hound mix with a heart just as big as he is! This sweet, loving boy may be a big pup, but he’s truly still a baby at heart. He enjoys playtime, gentle fun, and showing off his playful side, then happily settling in for affection and cuddles.

Ziggy is the kind of dog who bonds deeply with his people and thrives on love, attention, and companionship. He’s looking for a forever home where he’ll be cherished, spoiled, and treated like the beloved family member he’s meant to be.

If you’re searching for a loyal, affectionate companion who brings both fun and warmth into your life, Ziggy is ready to fill your home—and your heart—for a lifetime.

Fill out a Match Me form online at: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/CAST/Dog to be pre approved.

Ziggy is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm negative, and current on his monthly preventatives.

Our adoption fee is a minimum $150 tax deductible donation. All donations are used for rescue and medical care of animals in need. If you don't have room to take home a pet but want to support our efforts to save animals in need, please consider making a donation. We are not city or state funded and rely solely on private donations that allow us to continue saving lives.

Additional adoption info

Every adoption requires a completed Matchme form. This can be done at the beginning of the process, or at once you've found a pet you'd like to adopt. Our Matchme form is available online at www.carerescue.org/matchme . Once completed, one of our Matchmakers will contact you to answer any other questions and to ensure we are making a good match for the animal and for the adopters. The minimum donation for most cat adoptions is $100 and dog adoptions are typically $150 which helps us cover the cost of veterinary care. Adoption fees are non-refundable.

C.A.R.E. makes every effort to ensure our animals are as healthy as possible before adoption, however we do recommend taking your new friend for a wellness examine at your veterinarian's office after adoption. For instance, if an animal is adopted before 16 weeks of age, they may need more booster vaccinations to secure an immunity to disease. This is the responsibility of the adopter.

More about this shelter

Castaway Animals Rescue Effort, otherwise known as C.A.R.E., is a charitable 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, dedicated to the prevention of cruelty to animals. Established in 1992, C.A.R.E. has saved over 30,000 lives and we are still counting. From our humble grassroots beginnings, we have grown into southwest Missouri's largest no-kill shelter. Operations are still overseen by founder and director, Melissa Sartin. Her compassion for all living creatures drives the organization forward.

​Every day we strive to ease the pain that victims of neglect and abuse endure, offering safety and hope, and finding them the homes they so richly deserve. We are proud to work alongside government agencies and other nonprofits making a difference in the lives of the animals we care so deeply about. Together we serve as a voice for those who cannot speak.

C.A.R.E. Animal Rescue houses hundreds of homeless animals. The Adoption Center in Springfield is open to the public 7 days a week from 11am to 7pm. The Adoption Center gives guests the opportunity to meet some of our animals offering a one-on-one experience prior to adoption. Our sanctuary near Aurora is reserved for animals who may need some extra time to fully recover and become ready for adoption. We also house our rescued farm animals at this location. Our unadoptable animals reside at our sanctuary as well, each spending their days with cageless freedom, their nights in warm beds, and receiving lots of love and individual attention.

C.A.R.E. relies solely on the kindness and donations of the public to care for our animals. We are neither city- nor state-funded and all donations are tax deductible. We rescue approximately 1,000 animals a year, including dogs, cats, small mammals, horses, pigs and more. Your donations change the lives of so many animals who would otherwise not have a chance.
