About ROAR - Ridgefield Operation for Animal Rescue

ROAR was created in 2000 by a dedicated group of volunteers through the work of founder Marcia Libby. ROAR began as a simple grassroots effort to exercise dogs, unclaimed and housed at the Ridgefield Animal Shelter, and promote their adoption. This led to an initiative to raise funds to build the Ridgefield Bark Park. Eventually, this group established certified Therapy Dog Program benefitting young readers in the local elementary schools. Finally, fulfilling the need for humane care of unwanted animals, ROAR raised funds to build a shelter. ROAR opened its doors in 2005 at the Donofrio Family Animal Shelter, named in recognition of Nick and Anita Donofrio for their support and belief in our mission.
