Calgary Animal Rescue Society

If I can give negative five stars, I would. I call these guys to get hope.So I can start a new job.Their suggestion is to render my dog.
With that said, I thought all of it, the animal shelters are full because of this problem so I don't understand why they're telling me to give up my dog when I wanna keep it and i'm trying to help and get better.

This organisation relies on its volunteers and they do an exceptional job. We had our application handled in a quick manner with all enquiries answered in a timely manner. We were kept informed by the staff on updates and within a week we had visited the dog we were interested in adopting and we were able to bring our little bundle of Joy home with us. All paperwork was provided to us and when we collected our pup we were given toys, treats and food.

These people genuinely care about the animals they receive in their care and we are so grateful for them providing us with our pooch for his forever home.

We feel so lucky to have fostered through to adoption with CARS. They've been exceptional every step of the way from co- fosters to paperwork & appointments. They care first and foremost about the pets, caring for them and supporting everyone through the process. I would reccomend them highly!!

Awesome to deal with and helpful.

I hope they update their address to a real place. This is just a PO Box. I couldn't donate dog food. They don't answer the phone either. The website is not useful.

Witnessed a dog struggling in -35° weather locked in a vehicle for 2 hours! Owner was drinking wine at a nearby restaurant. No one answered the phone and I left a plea for help on the voice message. A later response was that they couldn't help. No suggestions of where to look for support....so sad.

They definitely have many cute animals that need some attention. Almost always the shelter is overcrowded. If you have a sensitive and loving heart then make sure to go with a Kleenex box in your hand. It is hard not to have tears while seeing the animals.

Very upset to hear from my friend who adopted a lovely cat with CARS but in few days cat health became very bad. My friend took use of the Line of credit to pay for the big billss. In between, my friend tried to reach out to see if she can get some help but they did not care about the huge medical bill and the health of the cat. They said it was my friend problem that she did not get insurance right away.

When she took the cat home the cat was fine. Once the cat seems not ok, my friend brought to my friend's own vet. The Vet said no way they would not know if they did what they said they did(all the medical exams and stuff). The vet have been getting discount to my friend but they are still adding up.

My friend could have gave up the cat and return it to CARS but my friend kept the cat because my friend is a very responsible person and have been taking care the pet with medical bills with no insurance coverage.

I guess if you have good experience you are lucky. But when getting a pet from a organization that we though would help but ended up being not supportive and not responsive and not responsible. I am very disappointed.

I will rethink about donating to this organization. I was always donating to them anonymous.
