R.O.A.R. Society is a non profit animal rescue dedicated to saving the lives of abandon, unwanted, neglected and/or abused animals in our local communities. You can contact us at 403-844-6024.

To provide humane support and solutions for animals in need within our community through shelter, medical care, rehabilitation and new beginnings.

Rocky Organization for Animal Rescue Society is a Provincially & Federally registered, incorporated not for profit society that currently operates a successful animal rescue business based out of Rocky Mountain House.

R.O.A.R. Society takes in, cares for and/or rehabilitates stray/unwanted/abused animals with the main focus being on cats and dogs. The group then re-homes these animals back into suitable, permanent homes.

Our Society is a no kill rescue and we are very happy to announce that we are the proud owners of a our very own shelter facility! We continue to operate solely through our volunteer and foster home network. All operating funds currently are limited to public fundraisers and donations.

The Society was founded in 2004 by Leah Marshall when she seen a need for a solution for the abandon/stray animal population in the town of Rocky Mountain House and surrounding communities. Originally based and serving in the town of Rocky Mountain House the group is now serving all the out lying communities in the area as well.

To date our Society has rescued well over 1000 animals with a 98% re-homing/adoption rate.

R.O.A.R. also provides support to anyone who may have lost/found pets by helping provide temporary homes, additional numbers and information to assist in the safe return of the animals in question. To date we have helped countless dogs and cats find their way back to their owners when they have become lost.

R.O.A.R. advocates for responsible pet ownership in the community and surrounding areas by providing spay/neuter information and other pet ownership education, as well as they offer a refund incentive to people who spay and neuter their animals at the local vet clinics.

The group also works with local Victim Services and the Woman's Shelter when they have cases involving animals in need and are in close contact with Town Council to maintain a good channel of communication with the By-Law Officers.

In addition to the above, we also run a program called the S.A.F.E. Project, (Sundre Animal Foster Expansion Project) in the town of Sundre in Mountainview County to assist with unclaimed animals picked up by the Town of Sundre's Animal Control Officer.

We will always continue to house animals as much as possible with volunteer foster homes until someone adopts them.
All animals are spayed or neutered, have a full vet check, and receive their first shots and a booster before going to their new homes.

We have a 10 day holding period on all animals, if at the end of that 10 days the animal remains unclaimed then ownership is considered to be forfeited and the animal is then put through it's necessary medical work and placed up for adoption.
