Every animal that arrives at ROAR has a story. Some have been abandoned. Some have been neglected. Many require extensive medical care before they are ready to find a loving home.

French Fries is one of those animals.

Rescued from the streets of Puerto Rico in critical condition, French Fries spent more than a year recovering from severe mange before making his way to the ROAR Donofrio Family Animal Shelter. Just as he was beginning his next chapter, he faced another challenge: a serious case of pneumonia that required emergency veterinary treatment. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, ROAR was able to provide the care he needed without hesitation.

His medical expenses have been close to $10,000.

French Fries' story is not unique. Every year, ROAR welcomes dogs and cats who need medical treatment, rehabilitation, nourishment, and a safe place to heal before they can be adopted into loving homes. We never turn away an animal because of the cost of care, but doing so requires significant community support.

The ROAR Rescue Fund provides critical funding for major emergency medical treatment, giving shelter animals the care they need to survive and become adoptable. These are life-saving interventions that go beyond routine care, giving each animal a second chance at survival and adoption.

Your donation helps ensure that animals like French Fries receive the care they need and the second chance they deserve.

Whether it's $5, $50, or $500, every contribution directly supports the animals in our care and helps us continue our mission of rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption.

Our best friends need us now more than ever.

Thank you for helping ROAR give vulnerable animals a chance to heal, thrive, and find their forever homes.
