About Valley Animal Rescue

Valley Animal Rescue is a Foster Home based animal rescue in Renfrew County. We have foster homes located throughout the Ottawa Valley.

VAR is dedicated to saving animals and re-homing them into loving, forever homes. We are 100% volunteer run and all of our animals are cared for in the homes of our devoted foster families. Valley Animal Rescue relies solely on financial donations and fundraising to cover the expense of caring for the animals.

Animals rescued in to our program mostly come from pounds in Renfrew County when their time is up and no one has claimed them. VAR keeps animals in their foster homes until a permanent home can be found.

Valley Animal Rescue needs your support! Please donate today!
