Welcome to C.A.R.E!
Community Animal Rescue Effort (C.A.R.E.) is an all volunteer organization that works in conjunction with Evanston's municipal Animal Shelter to find homes for the unwanted and abandoned animals that are brought to the shelter. Since our inception in 1987, C.A.R.E. has been responsible for the adoption of thousands of dogs and cats that would have otherwise been euthanized. C.A.R.E. provides medical treatment and conducts all adoptions for the shelter animals. Read more about C.A.R.E. here.

Care for C.A.R.E. Comic
C.A.R.E. supporter Joey designed and produced this comic book for his Bar Mitzvah project. Care for C.A.R.E. tells the story of a dog who came to C.A.R.E. and got adopted. He sold the comic book and donated the profits (nearly $1500) to C.A.R.E.
Thank you, Joey!
