The History of CARA.
Jerri Bennett and Janet Madden, met through an organization known as "Pet Theft Action" in 2000. They decided to start their own rescue group. Meeting Pat Sellers along the way, they became known as Clinton Animal Rescue & Adoption. Shortly after that, on March 31, 2001, Clinton Animal Rescue & Adoption became on incorporated identity.

Welcome to CARA -- To make DONATIONS, click on link "HELP CARA"
at top of page.
CARA is a non profit "no-kill" animal rescue group located in Jackson, MS
that provides food, shelter and care for hundreds of abused, unwanted,
and stray animals. CARA is operated mainly by volunteers and a few part-time
employees. The expenses for our programs and services are supported by private
donations from individuals, businesses, and fund raising events throughout the
year. We receive no funds from the city, county, state or federal government.
The primary goal of CARA is the placement of our adoptable animals into loving,
caring homes; thereby enhancing the bond between animals and people.
Our services are designed to promote responsible pet ownership.
By education, communities can learn the benefits of proper care & treatment of
all pets and why spay/neuter is important.
I looked at all the animals in the shelter...the cast-offs of human society.
I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness and betrayal.
And I was angry. "God," I said, "this is terrible! Why don't you do something?"
God was silent for a moment and then He spoke softly. I have done something,"
He replied. "I created you."
