Hello AARCS,

I sure hope your summer is off to a great start! ☀️ I've got some exciting news I would like to share with you. Our new adoption promotion STARTING NOW: Choose Your Own Adoption Fee! 🐱🐶🐰 In our continuous effort to find forever homes for the numerous animals in our care, we have reduced select adoption fees this summer. This promotion will run from July 9th to August 12th, giving you the opportunity to welcome a new furry family member while making a meaningful contribution.

OVER 185 ANIMALS SEEKING ADOPTIVE HOMES!

And so many more preparing for adoption behind the scenes.

Rest assured, our thorough adoption screening process remains unchanged. We want to ensure that each animal finds the perfect match with a responsible and caring adopter. By adopting from AARCS, you not only bring joy and companionship into your life but also save a life in the process.

Are You Ready to Choose Your Own Adoption Fee?

🤍 DOGS over 6 months

Minimum $75 Fee

Whether you're looking for an active companion for outdoor adventures or a loyal friend to cuddle up with on the couch, our dogs are ready to find their forever homes. With a minimum adoption fee of $75, you can embark on a journey of love and loyalty.

🤍 CATS over 6 months

Minimum $25 Fee

If you're a cat lover, this is the perfect opportunity to add a feline friend to your family. Our cats, with their grace and independent nature, are eagerly waiting for a warm and loving home. For a minimum adoption fee of $25, you can open your heart and give a deserving cat a second chance.

🤍 CRITTERS of all ages

Minimum $10 Fee

We believe in the importance of caring for all creatures, big and small. Our critters, including rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and more, are seeking kind and attentive guardians. For a minimum adoption fee of $10, you can provide a safe haven for these adorable animals and give them the love they deserve.

Your support during this promotion will make a significant impact on our ability to rescue and care for animals in need. The reduced adoption fees help facilitate the adoption process and enable us to save more lives. Remember, each adoption fee helps cover essential veterinary care, vaccinations, spay/neuter surgeries, and ongoing support for animals in our care.

Spread the word and share our Choose Your Own Adoption Fee promotion with your family, friends, and coworkers. Together, we can find loving homes for as many animals as possible and make a difference in their lives.

Events You Don't Want to Miss!

Lock in the Date for AARCS Jail n Bail + Block Party!

On Saturday, September 16th, the AARCS will be hosting this family-friendly event presented by CIR REALTY! It will be held at our SAFE HAVEN shelter (5060 74 Avenue SE, Calgary) from 11am to 5pm.

We’re doing things a little differently this year! Anyone can sign up for a chance to be IMPOUNDED at AARCS’ Jail n Bail + Block Party in support of the animals! First $500 raised qualifies YOU to be jailed on-site the day of the event! The rest of your set BAIL MONEY is to set you free! 💸

There will also be a street festival/market, kids area, food trucks, adoptable animals on site and more! Invite your friends and family and enjoy some fun under the sun. We hope you'll join us!

We're looking for very special VIPs to be jailed in AARCS dog kennels (fur friends are encouraged too!) and you will only be released when you have raised the pre-set amount of money to be bailed!

Know someone willing to lock in their love for animals by going to JAIL for them?! Whether it be a boss, coworker, friend or family member – you can request a WARRANT and we will send them one!

Should they agree to be BUSTED FOR BIG BUCKS – we will help them get a fundraising page set up to start raising that $500 to secure their spot!
