Carolina Animal Rescue &Adoption is a no-kill, non-profit animal shelter located in Sanford, NC. We rescue dogs/cats from high-kill shelters across many counties in Central NC. CARA took over the mission and the small shelter from the San Lee Humane Society in 2004. Since then, we have rescued thousands of animals in search of their FURever Homes! Ride For Their Lives! began in 2009 when a few cycling enthusiasts came to us with an idea of a Bike Ride to raise money!! It's become our largest fundraiser for CARA!!! All Levels are Welcome to Ride!! Ride the beautiful country roads through Lee, Chatham and Moore Counties. Ride either a 10mile route or 50k (w/ 45 mile option ) or go for a 100k!!
