I am a huge cat lover & I randomly came across BCR Facebook page. I was very intrigued that most of…read moretheir cats are blind, Felv postive or FIV. They rescue these amazing cats most people would not think twice about. I finally had the chance last year on my way to Myrtle Beach to visit this magnificent haven. I had sent a personal message & made sure my husband and I could visit & it coordinated with our travel time. They could not be more accommodating. It's about a 7 hour ride from Philly. The workers/ volunteers knew all the cars names and most of their back stories. I of course feel in love with them all. Surprisingly my husband, who was a little hesitant on going because he said it would be sad seeing blind cats, had a few favorites of his own. There are 6 different rooms you can go and play & interact with the cats. The cats are so excited to see you & automatically are ready to give you love. We are stopping there again this year on our way to Myrtle! I can't wait.

We are animal lovers and have 10 acres just begging for a dog to replace our baby girl who passed last fall. Oh well, I guess we're not good enough for this place.

Sometimes you think you're going to walk into a place that will have you cringing or running back…read moreout the door. Sometimes you're so overwhelmed by the number of animals in a shelter you want to cringe or run back out. You might be tempted to do so here at CARA, but you'll be missing out. CARA is small brick building housing some of the nicest volunteers you'll meet anywhere. And they know how to have fun with all their animal residents, dressing them up in festive attire for their holiday pictures on the website, for example. It doesn't matter whether the volunteer is a dog person or a cat person, he or she will spend time with you visiting and interacting with the animals, answering questions and helping you find the perfect friend. On Thursdays, Cara stays open a little later so there's time for you to stop by after work to pick up your new friend, or visit or meet with the cats or dogs. When you stop in, you won't be required to complete paperwork or answer a million questions to get past the front door: the staff will take you right in to meet your (hopefully) future pet companion. The paperwork comes later, but it's a no pressure, stay as long as you like, environment.

A stray dalmatian showed up on our property. Very friendly but with some health issues I had…read moreaddressed at our vet. As much as I liked Melo (the name I gave him due to his calm demeanor) we just didn't need a 3rd dog. So I found the no-kill MHS who assessed him, thought he was a great dog they could get adopted, and they took him in. I checked back with Jessica every couple of weeks to see how Melo was doing. She always responded promptly with an update, but unfortunately, as a bigger dog (50#), Melo wasn't getting much interest. Jessica invited me to come visit him but I declined, fearing it would be traumatic for Melo -- and knowing it would be traumatic for me. Finally, after eight weeks, I had to see him again. Melo looked terrific -- clean, vibrant, and well cared for. I immediately fell back in love with him and applied for adoption. At this point it was a little frustrating that MHS made me go through the formal adoption procedure -- since I had been the one who brought him in. But I realized this is a good thing. They did a very thorough vetting of me, my living situation, and my means to take care of Melo properly. This showed me they don't allow their dogs to be taken by just anyone with $100 -- they make the effort to assure the dog will have a caring and stable home. I've had Melo back for three days now and couldn't be happier. He is a well-mannered joy, and within an hour we had re-bonded as we were before I took him to MHS. Thanks to Jessica and MHS, Melo was given great care while in their possession. I just love this dog! (Attaching my favorite photo of Melo, from when he first showed up and we made him wear a diaper while getting house trained. He made himself at home here!)

I wish I could give this place a 0…read more 1. I recently had the pleasure of visiting this facility, and I must say, I was truly taken aback by the exceptional 'customer service' provided by the front staff. They certainly have a unique approach to making you feel unwelcome. It's not every day you encounter such an enthusiastic attitude about being inconvenienced by a visitor. 2. I was also impressed by the shelter's 'clear' communication. After I reached out via email for some important questions, I received a response that really set the tone: apparently, emails are only responded to at the staff's convenience. 3. The shelter itself could certainly use a little TLC, but I'm sure they prioritize other things. After all, it's not every day you visit a place where the staff makes you feel like a true bother just for showing up. If you're looking for a warm and inviting place to adopt a pet, perhaps consider other options before visiting here. I would like to add that this facility did have 2 younger women who were AMAZING and KIND employees to us that made us feel so welcomed on 3/25-3/26.
