Happy Howlidays and a Purry New Year! Come one, come all to the Holiday C.A.R.E. Faire. Bring your pet (all are welcome) to have their picture taken with Santa. Stock up on home-baked cookies and more in our famous Cookie Walk. Buy your gifts from our Silent Auction, Raffle, crafters and vendors. Introducing the C.A.R.E. Market, a collection of items that are unique and giftable, some handmade.

C.A.R.E. is asking Faire attendees to bring pet food donations as suggested entry to the C.A.R.E. Faire. Cat and Kitten food are most needed, but we accept any unopened and not expired pet food. Pet food will be used for adoptable pets or to support C.A.R.E.'s Pet Food Pantry.
