Mission Statement

Amazon Community Animal Rescue, Education & Safety (CARES) seeks better health and living conditions for ALL living beings of the Peruvian Amazon region. This includes appropriate care, respect, and protection from cruelty and neglect.

We are the first and only "Humane Society" in the entire Amazon region. In Iquitos, Peru we operate a modern veterinary clinic and in nearby Cabo Lopez we have a no-kill animal refuge. Our focus is on DOMESTIC animals, primarily dogs, but also cats.

In 2006 Founder and Director, Molly Mednikow, received the "Kindred Spirit" Award from the Doris Day Animal Foundation.

The people with Amazon CARES truly are professionals in every sense. Every one is treated with the utmost respect and are typically open and attentive in the organization's communications with participants.

Amazon CARES has a virtual volunteer program where volunteers are treated like employees. Learning and training are huge components, and they always show their appreciation!

I have been with the organization since February, as their Team Translator. I am very proud of what they do, and in which way i am helping. This organization is giving a life opportunity to many animals in Peru, which as a Peruvian, i am very thankful.

It is a wonderful organization to volunteer, I have been working as their webmaster for Change.org, and I am really proud of it. Amazon Community Animal Rescue, Education & Safety (CARES) seeks better health and living conditions for animals and people of the Peruvian Amazon. This includes appropriate care, respect, and protection from cruelty and neglect. Another great thing that I am very proud of them is that is a NO-KILL animal sanctuary.
