My story

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

Meet Candace, a sweet and soulful 6-year-old Beagle mix who is ready to find her forever home 💛
Candace is the kind of dog who quietly steals your heart. With her gentle nature and loving eyes, she’s happiest when she’s close to her people—whether that means going for a leisurely walk, sniffing her way through the world (as any good Beagle does!), or curling up nearby for a cozy nap. She has a calm, easygoing demeanor that makes her a wonderful companion for a relaxed household.
At 6 years old, Candace is past the puppy chaos and has settled into a lovely balance of enjoying her daily routines and appreciating downtime. She’s sweet, affectionate, and would thrive in a home that’s ready to give her the love, comfort, and stability she deserves.
If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle companion who will bring warmth and quiet joy into your life, Candace may be your perfect match. Come meet her and see just how special she is. 🐾

All C.A.R.E rescue dogs are vaccinated, heart-worm tested, spayed/neutered, and microchipped! So all you need to provide is the love.

Our adoption fee is a minimum $150 tax deductible donation. All donations are used for rescue and medical care of animals in need.

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.
