Mission Statement
Rocky Mountain Animal Rescue has been saving dogs in Alberta since January of 2000, after our director relocated to Calgary and learned of the mass homelessness nearby Alberta home and how many are freezing, suffering and starving. Rescuing numerous years prior from high-kill shelters and street dogs RMAR starting saving dogs in the nearby First Nations communities and hasn't stopped, and have grown larger with more volunteers and awareness of dog homelessness, helping people adopt a dog that meets their needs and not purchase from a puppy mill or breeder. Too many homeless dogs already born and need saving, and RMAR does as much as possible every day to save as many as possible and get them to good, loving homes.
About This Cause
Rocky Mountain Animal Rescue works in many capacities and was born, if you will, after realizing many great potential adopter's were being turned away for lack of a fence, or had children, or a factor that should not play in many good homes for dogs. We instead review adoption applications for a good match, for the pet and the adopter. We have had great success, primarily due to our director being a dog behaviourist for over 20 years, but also, out team is very involved in dog behaviour. Our primary work is directly rescuing and finding homeless and starving dogs and puppies, get them their needed veterinarian care, to foster homes or the sanctuary, rehabilitating them after post traumatic stress, or hyper-ness and lack of manners if a transfer from another Albertan shelter, and learn about their individual temperament to match them to adopter's via our website and facebook page. We also field many calls for wildlife in distress, as well as Canadian's abroad seeking help for dogs in inhumane conditions. RMAR works to educate the public about how dogs are domesticated animals and need human help and how much they are like us in their feelings. We are working towards educating the First Nations People how to better care for their dogs, and particularly the children. RMAR supports closing of puppy mills, hence, help small dogs in Mexico so Canadian's have little ones to adopt, not the size we find in First Nations communities. Our primary goal is to help the dogs nearby our Calgary base, getting as many females spayed as possible so less dogs suffer. RMAR also takes food our weekly to owned and homeless dogs in the nearby community of Morley, trying to help as many as possible getting out of the cold. The bitter freezing conditions traumatize all dogs living in the harsh conditions in the Stoney Nakota Community, and our organize is involved in the community of Calgary donating and or building insulated dog houses so we can take them out to families with dogs (which is most families). Like most charities, we are not funded, but donations go a long way when you are grass roots like us, with a bulk of it going to veterinarian care when dogs are found injured, mauled, hit, tooth decay, wounds, hip problems, porcupine quills, disease, eye infections and worse, to name a few. (not including the regular spay/neuter, deworming and vaccinations we provide for all the local rescued dogs, puppies, cats and kittens). We appreciate all help we receive, which can be time at the sanctuary, fostering, volunteering, and financial support. Our current goal the coming year is to educate more children in the First Nations communities about caring for dogs and their needs, provide more insulated dog houses, and of course, finding a way to obtain less costly spay and neuter for the owned dogs in less privileged communities. Thank you for considering us and your interest in dogs feelings and comfort.
