We work to strengthen the bond between people and animals while carrying out the laws, ordinances, and contractual responsibilities applicable to the communities we serve. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53d6edd1e4b0e196f6362f9b/1591732167083-TLHESFGPRIEUK3VER2CF/IMG_2914.JPG About - Independent and Locally Operated CARES is a small but mighty, locally operated nonprofit animal shelter. We provide animal-control and sheltering services for Burien and Des Moines, along with sheltering services for Federal Way. CARES operates independently and is not part of King County or another regional shelter system. Federal Way residents needing animal-control assistance should contact the animal-control agency designated by the City of Federal Way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53d6edd1e4b0e196f6362f9b/1622416087544-ATTR8P6J29XXK490WJWB/Toby+1.jpeg About - Where It All Started Toby aka Primo, Our First Dog to Find His Furever Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53d6edd1e4b0e196f6362f9b/1719542538164-MXNDMAXXPD4DCJYDUAE8/Tabitha-2.jpg About - It Was a Long Road, but It Got Us to This Point After adopting out our beloved Toby, we quickly outgrew our small office. In the early days, we faced both support and opposition in our mission, but our dedication and the invaluable help from our community kept us moving forward. Many generous individuals donated their time, assisted with the care of our animals, and spread the word about Burien’s local animal shelter. We were fortunate to secure an 8,000 sq. ft. warehouse for rent, which was both exhilarating and intimidating. We eagerly embraced the challenge of building kennels, cat rooms, and offices from scratch. With a lean budget, we dedicated numerous late nights and weekends to the construction, often taking on the work ourselves. The City of Burien recognized our efforts and continued to renew our animal control contract year after year, further cementing our role in the community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53d6edd1e4b0e196f6362f9b/f9e120c2-6602-4198-b6d2-7d8c5b4bcee3/Cat+1C.jpg About - The Here & Now We have 16 employees and many dedicated volunteers. By December 2022, CARES had taken in nearly 8,000 animals, found adoptive homes for more than 4,000 pets, and reunited almost 2,000 lost animals with their families. Numerous kittens and puppies have also been born in our care. Our community is essential to CARES. Whenever we need items, you respond. We also get monthly donations from Costco and Mud Bay. Thanks to our supporters, we donate cat and dog food/items to four local food banks to ensure no animal goes hungry. We strive to give every animal a chance to find a permanent home. While we sometimes face tough decisions, we always prioritize the well-being of the animals in our no-kill shelter. Our success shows that a local nonprofit for animal care can thrive and make a difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53d6edd1e4b0e196f6362f9b/1622415772360-2QRS0RU1FRH23DYSP8CC/Denise+3.jpg About - The Future is Bright More than a decade after CARES began, our commitment remains the same: to provide dependable local animal-control and sheltering services while giving every animal in our care individual attention. An important part of CARES’ future was secured in 2021, when we purchased the building our shelter calls home. This permanent home provides greater stability for our organization and the communities we serve. That achievement was possible because of the generosity and confidence of our donors, volunteers, supporters, and community partners. As CARES moves forward, we remain focused on strengthening our services, supporting responsible pet ownership, reuniting lost animals with their families, and finding stable, loving homes for animals awaiting adoption. https://www.buriencares.org/volunteer daily 0.75 2026-08-19 https://www.buriencares.org/careshome daily 1.0 2026-08-19 https://www.buriencares.org/pet-licenses daily 0.75 2026-08-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53d6edd1e4b0e196f6362f9b/1f73214b-3de9-4027-8a86-8d09edfb1e44/betty-white.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/f64d269d-6648-4fff-8ded-3294bd99b0c4/imgg-demo-ZRjbSa11.png https://www.buriencares.org/petsmart daily 0.75 2025-07-25 https://www.buriencares.org/petsmart/petsmart-adoption monthly 0.5 2026-08-19 https://www.buriencares.org/petsmart/p/petsmart-cat-adoption monthly 0.5 2025-07-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53d6edd1e4b0e196f6362f9b/b652464c-4bc9-45ae-bd99-523f87f5d7e3/PetSmart-Logo-1992.png PetSmart - PetSmart Cat Adoption https://www.buriencares.org/pride-shirts daily 0.75 2026-06-17 https://www.buriencares.org/pride-shirts/p/we-love-strays-gays-t-shirt-pride-2026 monthly 0.5 2026-06-17
