Thank you to our community for another wonderful CASI Bark Whine & Dine! The showing of support for animals in need is truly inspiring.

Carson Animal Services Initiative was founded to help build the new animal shelter. Since then we have continued to assist the shelter and people in the community through fencing and installing the shelter play yard, donating an animal control vehicle, and most notably establishing Critter Fixer, our low cost spay/neuter voucher program for pets of low-income families.

Thanks to our partnerships with Quail Ridge Animal Hospital, Riverside Veterinary Hospital, and Moffitt Animal Clinic, CASI has helped nearly 1500 cats and dogs have access to spay/neuter, directly reducing the numbers of animals surrendered to local shelters.


Bark Wine & Dine is CASI’s largest fundraiser. We have a lot of people to thank for helping to make the night a huge success!


Thank you, Victor Castillo and the Fandango crew, for the incredible service. Sheriff Furlong, thank you, for once again being our wonderful auctioneer!

Kate and Mark of Bitter Root, we so enjoyed your music, and to Ilona Strull and Kathleen Stemler, your artistry from the beautiful quilt raffle to the joyful flier design is truly appreciated. Thank you Breakthru Beverage and Balletto Vineyards for sponsoring the wine served at the event.
