AROO Volunteers
“In a world that couldn’t care less, we are to be people who couldn’t care more.” ~Thorson
We are a not-for-profit organization run solely by volunteers. Please note we are a foster home-based rescue in Ontario, and not a shelter. All of our dogs live and are cared for in loving homes until they are adopted out to their forever homes.
Please come out to any of our events, and introduce yourself. It is a great way to see first hand how our organization works.
Note that if you are interested in fostering, please go to our website, and click the volunteer application tab to access the foster application.
AROO is actively seeking dedicated volunteers to join in our cause. If you're interested in learning more about who we are and what we do, please contact us at info@AROO.ca
