The NARC Family
NARC is a Not-for-profit Charitable Organization with a growing family over the years. Our family is now averaging approximately 20 regular volunteers.
There are three of us on the Board of Directors whom share duties in ensuring this organization strives and succeeds. Luckily for us, the members of the Board are very skilled in many areas which enables us in:
- organizing events,
- finance skills,
- writing skills, (for our web site, handbooks…),
- care for human resources/hiring of volunteers,
- advertising,
- care for the pets,
- training dogs/animals before they are re-homed,
- meet by-laws policy and procedures,
- make veterinary appointments,
- veterinary assistant,
- etc,
We are always looking for volunteers to help us in achieving or surpassing our goals.
You are important to us as we need all the help we can get!
petfinder.com will give you a list of cat/kitten rescues in the areas such as Village Kitten Rescue, J’s Rescue, Cat Rescue Network, Vanier Street Cats and so many others who only take in cats. Every rescue specializes in a certain field, we are a dog and small critter rescues while others only do cats such as the above mentioned. We do not have foster homes or the resources to take in cats such as they would have which is why we don’t take them in! At times, we will have kittens or cats posted to help people re-home them if they are willing to foster for us until we find the little guys homes. Thank you.
I don’t know why it’s called Animal Rescue, when they don’t accept small kittens? There is no Pet rescue in Rockland, On. Everyone seem to care but no one wants them either. I am out of ressources and I don’t want the city of Rockland to take them to have euthanized. Can you give me some places wheres they will accept the 4 kittens. Thank you
We do not take dogs surrendered from people or releases as we call them. We only take death row dogs from pounds and such but yes, the pounds do check for tags and such and hold for 72 hours prior to releasing them to rescues.
Hello
I am interested to know why you do not check dogs surrendered to you for microchip or tatoo markings? These are meant to return dogs to the rightful owner. You had a dog in your facility that was tatooed and the Canadian Kennel Club had the information of the breeder of this animal who would have taken the dog back. This is why the Canadian Kennel Club requires purebred dogs to be identified.
I saw that you are looking for fosters to volunteer. I am interested in helping with this if I can. Let me know if you still need help and how I can apply.
Thank you
We will be taking on volunteers come April when we re-open the building, you have to be 18 years or older. Right now what we are looking for are foster homes, since we are closing the building for the winter we will need foster homes for the doggies we take in during those months. If anyone is interested, please contact us! Thank you.
Do u take volunters and if yes what is the age requirement.
My wife and I have a 9 year old black lab named Ridge. We love him so much, but just had a daughter a few months ago. Our daughter also loves Ridge, but he does not like her at all. Our daughter is beginning to crawl and often heads straight for his bed. We know it’s just a matter of time before he bites her and need to find him a new home.
The problem with Ridge is that he is very affectionate but will occasionally snap at the person touching him. He is food and kennel aggressive. He does not like other dogs, and has not been neutered.
Ridge loves the water. Is still very energetic and loves to retrieve anything. He listens well and is really a great dog.
We live in Toronto but are willing to drive anywhere to find him the right home. We don’t want to give him to a shelter because he will be put down immediately due to his aggressive nature. Or friends and family won’t take him either.
If you can help us please let me know.
We are opened sat and sun between 1pm and 3pm but do have a donations drop box at the front of the property so you can drop them off at any time. Thank you for thinking of us!
Our beloved dog just passed away. I would like to donate two large dog beds a case of canned senior dog food and a half bag of dry blue mountain as well as a few other small items. Could you tell me when would be a good time to drop all off. Thanks. Cathy.
Hey, I found a dog and was wondering if you can help me. I have had him for over a month and no one has claimed him. He is a Jack Russell who I’ve named patch. Please let me know if you can help because I do not want to send him to the humane society. Thanks.
She is in a foster home at this time, gaining the much needed weight. We will find out end of April if they are keeping her. Thank you.
Unfortunately at this time we are only taking volunteers who are 18 years of age or older. Thank you.
Hi there,
I am interested in learning more about Verona.
Thank you.
My 16 year old foster daughter is wanting to volunteer with you guys and put the hours towards her volunteer hours for school.
Is this possible that she can do this and start soon?
Thanks!!

We have a terrier cross that unfortunately we have to get rehomed. We got him from a rescue center in Cavan (Paws a while I think) about 2 years ago and he was still only a tiny pup. he was meant to be a companion and friend to our son but regrettably my son has developed allergies to the dog hair. Lou is a much loved pet and we have always cherish him so we would love for him to go to a good home with a caring family.
We have a family that has decided to give him a try. If it don’t work out I will be in touch. Thanks for your help. I will keep you posted.
Sounds good, let me know when you wish to bring him in!
No we have been unsuccessful at re homing our dog .
We are closed until January 10th, if you can keep your dog throughout the holidays, we may be able to help you once we re-open! We weren’t able to e-mail you directly as you haven’t provided the details. Thank you.
We rescued a 10 week old jack russell mix from his death bed a year and a half ago. Mom was a jack and dad is unknown. We nursed him back to health. But unfortunately due to current circumstances I am unable to keep him. I do feel due to his rough start of life it has left him with a few issues. He suffers with separation anxiety. When left alone and uncrated, he does chew things He was never socialized with other dogs other then our own 2 dogs and cat. He has no issues with them. Does bark excessively at strangers and other dogs that he don’t know but eventually warms up to them. Loves to run free outside and to play Frisbee and ball. He is a big suck and has to be on us at all time. I do believe he needs a home that will work with him to change his behaviours. A family that will be home with him. We need to re home him ASAP..can you help us.
I don’t think Delihla will be with us over the holidays, a few clients are interested in adopting her we are just finalizing references before she leaves us with her new home! Thank you for offering though!
I am interested in fostering Dehlia over holidays, if she is still available. Please advise – I was referred to your agency by a collegue at school, Joanne Ledoux’s.
Thank you
Our adoption fees vary, regular dogs and breeds are $460, larger dogs can be up to $600 and toy breeds $600. Vet costs are more expensive on larger breeds so we had to compensate with a higher adoption fee to help cover our costs. Thanks.
What’s your adoption fee?
Please see the dog’s profile for more details. Thank you.
Hello! I was wondering if you had additional info (age, weight, personality) on the hound puppy that was recently brought to the vet. We are looking to adopt a medium to large breed dog, like we have in the past.
Thank you!
Bailey is approx 1 year old and no health concers seen by our vet other than the hernia we had removed! Thank you.
Hi there, we adopted jake/thunder (german sheperd) from your shelter about two months ago and he’s having some issues we’d like to discuss with you. Could you kindly give us a call.
Thanks
Derek
Is Bailey still available? If so can you please tell me an approximate age, as well as if there are any ongoing health concern that need to be addressed?
Thanks!

Jack is available but we don’t think he will be with us very long, he is a very good and gorgeous dog! Thanks.
Hello,
Im wondering if Jack the retriever is still up for adoption? I have already fallen in love with him! I would love to come and visit.
Hi Michelle…7 years ago I adopted an English Bulldog named Scarlet. We kept the name as it suited her big time, as she was a diva. We trained her and she was a wonderful, loveable pet. In May 2014 Scarlet(0ver night) could not walk or manoeuver with out assistance. I had promised Scarlet I would never let her suffer as she had suffered at the puppy mill, so therefore on June the 2nd 1 day before my birthday we put Scarlet down. We did it with dignity and honour as she was very special to us. We had her cremated and she again home with Marcel and I….we loved her so much <3<3<3
I called today about a German shepherd and was told to leave my number if there are any available please let me know thank you. Nick
Yes, Poncho is still with us and awaiting his forever home! We are opened sat and sun between 1pm and 3pm if you wish to meet any of our doggies. Thanks.

We only have a few positions opened for teenagers under 18 years of age and they are completely staffed at the moment! He may want to try again in a few months to see if we still have a position available. Maybe one of the students we have now will leave after completing their 40 hours? Thank you.

Hi everyone,
This is Holly Guski the one who applied for one of the beagle/English bulldog puppies on pet finder, and you emailed me back that you needed vet references which I emailed back to you right away. But then you told me to click on this link to fill out an adoption application and I can’t seem to find it anywhere!
I WANT TO GIVE ONE OF THESE ADORABLE PUPPIES THE MOST LOVING, PATIENT, KIND, CARING, AND DEVOTED HOUSE THEY COULD EVER ASK FOR. And I really don’t want to miss my chance at getting one. So could someone from the organization please email an adoption application ASAP!
Thanks so much for your time. And I look forward to hearing from you all very soon!
Much love,
Holly Guski & family
Yes, we have a female and a male available. Thanks.
