WINNIPEG, Sept. 6, 2016 /CNW/ - Petsecure, Canada's leading pet health insurer and the Animal Rescue Foundation of Alberta (ARF) are proud to announce they have reached an agreement to make Petsecure's Adoptsecure program the exclusive provider of trial pet health insurance for ARF pet adopters.  

"We're proud to partner with the Animal Rescue Foundation of Alberta, to encourage pet owners to see the value in pet health insurance to benefit their animals," said Rod Cunniam, Petsecure's President and COO. "We're happy we can help ARF continue to provide excellent care for Alberta's dogs and cats."

"ARF puts our animals' health and welfare first", said Troy Chadwick, ARF Director. "While in our care, all animals receive all veterinary care required. Ensuring our animals lead healthy, happy lives in their adoptive homes is our goal; however animal health can be unpredictable.
