Based in Kitsap County, Washington, Kitsap Animal Rescue & Education (KARE) is a volunteer-run nonprofit dedicated to animal welfare education, shelter support, and rescue services. They partner with overcrowded shelters to rescue, socialize, and rehome at-risk pets, including cats and dogs, into permanent homes.
All household members must agree to the adoption, and the applicant must be 18 years or older. Landlord approval is required if renting. All adopted animals are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped prior to release.
Potential adopters can view available pets on Petfinder or Adopt-a-Pet, then request and submit an adoption application by emailing adoptions@nwkare.org. Once the application is reviewed, applicants participate in a meet-and-greet and a home visit before finalizing the adoption.
All animals adopted through KARE are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped prior to release to their new owners.
No. Because KARE operates through foster homes and volunteers rather than a physical shelter facility, pets are not available to meet prior to submitting a completed Adoption Application.
You can view adoptable pets on their Petfinder or Adopt-a-Pet pages and request an Adoption Application by emailing adoptions@nwkare.org.
