Welcome To Kare
Educate, advocate, rehabilitate. Because every pet deserves KARE.
Kitsap Animal Rescue & Education (KARE) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization based in Kitsap County. KARE’s mission is to support the human-animal bond through affordable education & training, pet care assistance for our unhoused neighbors, rescue fostering and re-homing resources, veterinary financial aid, and animal welfare advocacy.
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.

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 opened in January 2025. This shelter is the first in Kitsap County to allow individuals to shelter with their pets.
