The ROAR Shelter provides shelter for both cats and dogs that have no place to go. We also help needy animals by working with municipal pounds – some of them high kill - throughout Connecticut. Finally we rescue dogs from extremely difficult situations elsewhere in the U.S.

The ROAR Shelter reflects best practices in shelter construction and animal care. It is a warm, safe, welcoming place for homeless pets to recover and await adoption. ROAR volunteers provide loving care, exercise, grooming, medications, playtime, training and soft beds for all the cats and dogs in its care.
