Amazon CARES forges new ground in traditional animal welfare as it pertains to the environmental and overall public health of a community. Since 2004 this community driven charity has proved that animals do matter, even in the most dire living situations.
Amazon Community Animal Rescue, Education & Safety is located in the remote Peruvian Amazon. OUR MISSION: Amazon CARES seeks better health and living conditions for ALL living beings of the Peruvian Amazon region. This includes appropriate care, respect, and protection from cruelty and neglect.
We are the first and only "Humane Society" in the entire Amazon region. In Iquitos, Peru we operate a modern veterinary clinic and in nearby Cabo Lopez we have a no-kill animal refuge.
