Our Story
My passion for helping abandoned, abused and neglected animals led to the creation of Megan’s Rescue Efforts Society. Together with my team of equally passionate and committed volunteers, we focus our efforts on the Calgary area, and thanks to the generous support of our community we have flourished.
As a small non-profit and foster-based rescue, we rely solely on donations, fundraising events and our faithful partners for our continuing success. We make certain that the animals we rescue receive the medical attention they need, including spay/neutering and vaccinations, and are properly trained and socialized before being placed in carefully selected adoptive homes.
Because we screen potential adopters to ensure they’re the best possible match for our animals, some may remain in our care a long time. But because we’re committed to every animal we save, we will never put one down to make room for another due to either space or non-health related issues.
I invite you to view our entire site. Read about the dogs and cats available for adoption. See photos of those who have been happily placed in loving forever homes. Learn how YOU can support our efforts by becoming volunteers and fosters, by attending our events, by shopping and donating online.
Won’t YOU please help US help more animals in need?

Help Where You Can
Megan's Rescue Efforts Society relies on the support of the people in our communities. Without a great team of volunteers and fosters we would not have this rescue and we would not be able to help as many animals as we do. This also goes for the donors that support us. Everyone has their own way they can help whether it is boots in the ground as a dog walker, or at our adoption events, at home as a foster parent giving one (or more!) of our dogs or cats that love and support they need, or by the way of monetary donations. All these roles are just as important as the other and what keeps us going.
