About Us

Who We Are

Calgary Animal Rescue Society is made up of volunteers, some of us volunteer as foster parents, participate in adoption events, work at fundraisers, and are members of our Board of Directors. We all do our best to help animals in need find new fur-ever homes.

What We Do

Our primary goal is to find loving forever homes for cats and dogs in need, working with rescues throughout Alberta and across Canada. We have also formed partnerships with rescues in other countries to bring over dogs that may not otherwise have been able to find permanent homes.

In addition to our rescue efforts, we occasionally will visit schools to educate, inform and answer questions to promote the importance of compassion. foster, adopt, volunteer. Together we can make a difference, and we do!

Rescue is hard work.  Often the days are long and the nights are even longer. We are very fortunate to have an amazing volunteer rescue team that work tirelessly and are available at a moments notice to help an animal in need. We are also a foster home based rescue, so our foster homes are critical and an important stepping stone in the rescue process. We can’t say enough good things about our fosters. They are there every time we need them.  It’s all about team work!
