CBT zoo and rescue
Welcome to our website
We are the other animal animal rescue

CBT is an small animal rescue/shelter organization, which also provides programs with animals through a meet up close and/or touch experience. CBT takes in small animals that have been abandoned or released by their owners. These animals are used in our education programs and most are found new forever homes through our adoption program. Not all animals are adoptable, and those will remain with us the rest of their lives, hence the zoo in our name. Some of the unadoptable animals become our ambassador for our cause! CBT relies on donations, program fees and adoption dollars to feed, house and provide medical care for the animals.

Sometimes we have to stop taking in released animals due to a lack of space. As animals are adopted, we can make room for others, so sometimes there is a waiting period. Please understand that we have regulations to follow. You must be willing to drop off in Dearborn, MO- BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. As of May 1, 2022 - no appointments on Mondays. OR text us (816-377-5472) and let us know ahead of time and you can drop off at an adoption event.
THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING.
