About Us
Thousands of cats and dogs are homeless, abandoned, abused or living in horrible conditions. Companion Animal Outreach Services (C.A.O.S.) strives to make a difference in communities by providing an animal shelter located in Red Deer, Alberta. We provide a safe haven for stray, rescued, abandoned and surrendered animals.
C.A.O.S’s dedicated staff and volunteers help animals in First Nations communities where no animal services are available. Here, we provide rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming for animals in need. We also intake stray animals from Municipalities in Central Alberta through our partner Alberta Animal Services. All municipal strays that are unclaimed by their owners are transferred into our rescue.
Companion Animal Outreach Services is committed to the ongoing efforts to rescue animals in these areas. Collaboration is key to our success. We partner with various animal rescue organizations in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. With our partnerships, we can help maximize the number of animals rescued and rehomed.
All the animals we rescue and admit into our shelter are spayed or neutered prior to adoption. We ensure all animals receive all necessary veterinary treatments, including vaccines, deworming, dental work, as well as minor and major surgeries.
