Not all animals in shelters are able to find permanent homes, but the Citizens Animal Rescue and Adoption (CARA) animal shelter, does their best to facilitate that. Those pets who don’t find their “fur-ever” home outside the facility, will be cared for and will have a place to call home for as long as it takes.
OSF HealthCare has announced a major transformation aimed at strengthening care delivery across east central Illinois. As part of the changes, OSF HealthCare Heart of Mary Medical Center in Urbana and OSF HealthCare Sacred Heart Medical Center in Danville will merge into a single hospital operating across two campuses, effective January 1, 2026, pending regulatory approval.
All proceeds raised will directly benefit the animals housed at the shelter. Support is provided through spay and neuter, heartworm treatment, medical/emergency financial support, food and supplies as needed, rescue transportation, adoption events, and education.
