If you love animals with the passion that we do at CARA, then it’s not hard to understand why the Blessing of the Pets may well be the highlight of the entire event that we call CARA’s Dog Days of Summer. Pastor Susannah Carr, we love you and we are so incredibly thankful for your words of love for all of God’s precious animals. The animals of the world need this blessing now more than ever. Thank you for making this event so very special. ♥️

Happy Sunday, friends! I don’t know what all of you guys will be doing today, but I can assure you the CARA Team is trying to rest up after our exciting day yesterday!
I want to say something before all of our usual posts and pics from this great event start being posted, and there will be a ton of exceptional photos this year, compliments of our extended Minnesota family’s sweet Jackie, who traveled here from Indiana for that purpose!
Y’all see this beautiful woman on the right? I know most everyone knows Denise Cantrell. But what you may not know is that she is the literal backbone of all of our fundraising efforts. She is also our Vice Chair (thank you Lord), but somehow she manages to coordinate and pull off every event we do to try and raise funds to support these animals we love and care for. And she does it flawlessly and beautifully. She will tell you it’s a team effort, and I will certainly not discredit that statement. It absolutely takes a dedicated team to pull off events like our Dog Days of Summer yesterday, and we have a darned good one.
But what I will tell you is that no fundraising team can be successful without an amazing leader. And Denise leads us all with a passion and somehow keeps us all where we need to be in the planning process. She misses nothing, ever. I am in awe of her ability to stay on top of every, single detail the way she does. The planning for this one starts 6 months out, and you can’t imagine the details and work that goes into it.
Denise, we love you beyond measure, appreciate you more than I could ever convey to you, and I cannot imagine what we would do without you. You are a warrior and I thank God for you every day. Congratulations, my friend. You nailed this event again this year! You are our rockstar!!!!!!! 🤩
