Welcome To Kare
Educate, advocate and rehabilitate for the sake of our pets.
Kitsap Animal Rescue & Education (KARE) is a volunteer-powered nonprofit based in Kitsap County whose mission is to provide animal welfare education, animal rescue and shelter support, and services for guardians and their pets experiencing housing instability. We offer classes and workshops on dog behavior, communication, and training to reduce the number of homeless and relinquished pets in our community. Through our Housing Outreach Pet Education (HOPE) program, we extend this mission by ensuring that people and pets can remain together during times of crisis through shelter support, outreach, and essential pet care resources. Our goal is to help pets find and stay in their “forever homes” and to build a community where people and animals can thrive side by side

HOPE PROGRAM
HOUSING OUTREACH PET EDUCATION
A new initiative by KARE, aimed at empowering pet parents who are unhoused or in transitional housing. Through training sessions and by providing information to connect clients with existing resources, our goal is to help these individuals better understand their dogs’ behavior and how to deal with the surrounding stresses. We aim to help enhance stability and well-being during challenging times.
KARE is also a member of the steering committee for the Pacific Building Project, a new co-shelter in Port Orchard set to open in January. This shelter will be the first in Kitsap County to allow individuals to shelter with their pets.
