I am looking for a pure bred ____ (insert specific breed here). Does CARE have any?
The overwhelming majority of CARE animals are mixed breeds, though occasionally a pure bred animal is available. If you have your heart set on a specific breed, and CARE does not have any listed, you may want to check if there is a breed-specific rescue group online. For instance, there are Lab Rescue, Golden Retriever Rescue, and similar groups that typically foster specific breed and breed mixes for adoption. One more option is to use Petfinder.com’s “Save This Query” feature. Whenever a pet matching a person’s criteria is added to the database, the potential adopter will receive an e-mail with the animal’s photo and description.
