About Hope Animal Rescues |

Our rescue started out as being two people deeply affected by the aftermath of hurricane Katrina and the suffering of the animals. November 15th, 2005 a group of pets arrived in Alton Illinois, some from the hurricane others from animal control facilities that use the gas chamber to Euthanize. Working with those animals and seeing the "hope" in their eyes and the spirit of their souls drove us to continue our work today. We are a RESCUE and we physically go pull animals on their last day of life at animal control so that they may find a true second chance within our adoption program. Today we are a non-profit corporation and our mission is one of compassion for the homeless, rehabilitation for the physically and mentally abused. Our goals are to promote spay/neuter, stop the use of gas chambers to kill our homeless pets, and to educate people on how to treat all animals with respect and dignity. Dogs, and Cats were domesticated by people for companionship, and to work beside us in our everyday life. We are responsible for their well being for they are completely dependent upon us and no longer able to survive on their own. Dogs and Cats feel pain,suffer depression, and want to live just as humans do. However, everyday in this country, every 7 seconds somewhere there is a loving, hopeful pet whose life is ending just because they have no home. Be a part of the solution and not the problem, SPAY and NEUTER your pet! Help Hope Rescues continue their work by doing one of two things to make a difference. If you cannot adopt please make a donation. If you are looking to adopt know that if you adopt from Hope you will be saving the lives of two pets. The one that you take home with you, and the one that your adoption makes room for. From all the happy pets who have found homes today because of your support THANK YOU! |

Some Facts: Every day in this country there are 10,000 people born. Everyday in this country there are 70,000 puppies and kittens born. At that rate it is easy to see why there are not enough homes for all of them. Because of the high birth rate of puppies and kittens every year 6 to 9 million are put to death in shelters simply because there is no home for them. The "fix" is a simple one, FIX your pet! |
