Melanie
Crehan along with a group of dedicated volunteers, founded Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society(A.A.R.C.S.) in 2006.
The
Alberta Animal Rescue Crew (A.A.R.C.) Society is a non-profit
organization
whose mandate is to rescue abandoned, surrendered or abused small
animals from First Nations Communities in Central Alberta and
place these animals in the safety of a foster home system while
awaiting suitable placement in forever, adoptive homes.
We
provide veterinary care, food, love and support for these animals
in foster homes as we search for appropriate adoptive homes.
The
dogs and cats that we rescue range in age from the very young
puppies and kittens to the mature pet looking for a ‘forever’
home.
These pets have been vet checked and vaccinated and provided with
necessary medical attention prior to being placed for adoption.
