about us
a brief history
Founded in 2000, Country Acres Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, St. Louis-based organization whose primary concern lies with the over-population and unnecessary suffering of domestic animals in our community. We are dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, socialization, and placement of homeless, abandoned and abused/neglected cats, dogs, kittens, and puppies.
