The purpose of our endeavor is to aid unfortunate animals in the interest of a higher quality of life. We take in rescued, confiscated, neglected, injured, ill, unmanageable, or otherwise unwanted animals from private owners, zoos, shelters, and other public organizations. These animals are cared for, and/or rehabilitated to the best of our ability and means until which time they can be found healthy, happy homes – whether it be through adoption to qualified candidates or legally released into habitats suitable to the specific species in conjunction with licensed wildlife rehabilitators.
We are a family-friendly establishment focused on educating pet owners and animal lovers about the needs and responsibilities of pet ownership as well as behavior and training issues and health and wellbeing concerns. Neighborhood children can volunteer to help take care of the animals, and learn compassion as well as proper feeding, grooming, and handling. SCAR participates in innovative job training and Community Service programs through high schools in Brooklyn. The programs teach disadvantaged students about care and responsible ownership of domesticated animals. They also learn hands-on skills: walking, cleaning, and feeding dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, and more.
