I.C.A.R.E. Dog Rescue is all about heart—and we have some of the biggest hearts around! Founded in the fall of 2010, we quickly gained a reputation for stepping up to rescue the dogs no one else would. Our efforts are never limited by how sick, injured, or broken a dog might be. If a dog needs us, we’ll be there.

But rescue doesn’t end the moment a dog leaves the shelter. Many of our dogs face a long road to recovery before they are ready for their forever homes. Because we focus on saving those considered “unadoptable,” many of our pups have been treated for pneumonia, kennel cough, parvo, coccidia, giardia, broken limbs, and severe emaciation. Others arrive with spirits so shattered that they must first learn how to feel love and trust again.

Through it all, our hearts have been broken by the few we’ve lost despite every effort. Yet our hearts are also filled with joy each time we witness a dog who was once abused, abandoned, or forgotten discover love—sometimes for the very first time. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a once-sick and frightened dog blossom in the care of their forever family, finally living the life every dog deserves.
