Description
CARE is a diverse group of business men and women with the common goal to help the animal over-population problem in San Antonio. By working with the City of San Antonio’s Animal Care Services, the nonprofit group CARE is able to rescue homeless and very adoptable dogs and place them in happy, permanent homes. Founded in 2009 by Lloyd and Peggy Brink, CARE is working to educate the community on the vital importance of becoming a foster home to save a life. By directly engaging the business community, CARE has been able to build a large foster care network that is not only saving lives but creating a trend on the importance of just opening your home temporarily to a dog that deserves a second chance.
