The Animal Rescue Network is the largest no-kill shelter in Montreal, entirely run by volunteers and not subsidized by the government. The ARN was founded in 1994 by Barbara Lisbona, who remains its current president.
Shelter: We run a shelter and network of foster homes where unwanted cats and dogs are cared for. No animals are destroyed unless compassion for a sick and suffering animal demands euthanasia. Adoptions: We hold weekly adoption clinics at pet supply stores throughout the Montreal area to find permanent homes for our cats and dogs. All new adoption homes are carefully screened. Sterilization: All rescued animals are sterilized and vaccinated. We also run a catch-sterilize-and-release program to reduce the population of feral (wild) cats, and we provide assistance to the public with low-cost sterilization of their pets. Counselling: We provide advice and counselling on animal medical and behavioural problems.
