From One Paw to Thousands

Thirty years ago, a small group of volunteers saw a need in Ventura County: a safety net for the dogs that others had given up on. What started as a grassroots effort has grown into the Canine Adoption and Rescue League (C.A.R.L.)—a lifeline for thousands of dogs who just needed a second chance.

Today, we aren't just a rescue; we are a sanctuary. We are the place where senior dogs find soft beds, where "unadoptable" dogs find patience, and where every dog is treated like family until they find a home of their own.

Why Your Bids Matter

As we celebrate our 30th Anniversary, the need is greater than ever. C.A.R.L. is 100% community-funded. We don't receive government grants; we rely on the kindness of people like you.

Every dollar raised through this auction goes directly toward:

Life-Saving Medical Care: From routine vaccinations to emergency surgeries for our seniors.
The C.A.R.L. Sanctuary: Providing a safe, loving home for dogs with nowhere else to go.
The "Hard to Place" Heroes: Funding behavioral training and specialized care for dogs that need a little extra time to blossom.

A New Horizon at 'olołkoy Beach Park
