Our Unique Role in St. Louis

As the City of St. Louis’ official shelter partner, CARE STL accepts every animal in need, regardless of circumstance. We are committed to building a compassionate, fear-free environment where animals are treated with dignity, patience, and love, even in the most challenging situations. When space is limited, we ask our community to stand with us - but we never turn animals away, and we never euthanize due to lack of space or resources. This commitment reflects our belief that every life matters - and every animal deserves to be seen, valued, and cared for with integrity.

Why Sponsor This Gala?

The Journey to Our Forever Home Gala is more than an evening of celebration. It is a powerful opportunity to invest in lifesaving impact and stand alongside a community committed to compassion. Sponsorship of the Spring Gala is a meaningful way to demonstrate your commitment to animal welfare while gaining valuable visibility among a dedicated audience of community leaders, advocates, and supporters. These impressive outcomes are only possible because of strong partnerships with businesses and organizations that believe in doing good - together. By sponsoring this gala, you help ensure that CARE STL can continue to lead with compassion, optimism, and fairness while providing lifesaving care for the city’s most vulnerable animals. You also gain meaningful visibility among more than 300 engaged guests, including civic leaders, philanthropists, and advocates who value purpose-driven partnerships.

Together, we can continue to love big - and create a future where every animal has the chance to find their forever home
