HPR Disclaimer
Our Goals at Hurricane Pets Rescue (HPR) are directed toward rescuing abused, abandoned homeless and disaster relief animals. Purebreds and mix breed animals, placing them in carefully screened, permanent homes, or foster homes (if necessary), where they will be well cared for, and in assisting animal shelters, working closely with other Rescue Organizations to find homes for any homeless animal in their care.
In the absence of clear documentation and/or first-hand knowledge of the origin of all animals listed on the HPR Website, Hurricane Pets Rescue mailing list, Hurricane Pets Rescue Petfinder Site - determination of origin of these animals must be made based on their appearance and personality. Appearance and personality are determined by validation of our Judges. The animals’ appearance will either clearly match the breed standard, or will be based upon the presence of physical characteristics and personality traits that are shared by purebred animals.
HPR does not propose to know the parentage of animals listed and, by way of this statement, we are informing potential adopters that HPR cannot and does not assure that the parentage of animals appearing cats / dogs include any purebred.
No information on the HPR Website, HPR email list, or HPR Petfinder Pages are guaranteed. It is crucial that any pet found through an adoption service or private party be thoroughly examined by a veterinarian immediately upon adoption and before exposing the animal to other pets in the adopter’s household. All pets currently in adopter’s household should be up to date on vaccinations and in good health before introducing any new animal to the house. A quarantine period is also highly recommended.
Any animals found, adopted through, or listed by HPR are the sole responsibility of the adoption organizations and/or the adopting party. HPR accepts no responsibility for any liability or for any injury or damages to any person or property caused by any listed animal, as well as any cause of action, claims, suits or demands whatsoever that may arise as a result of such injury or damage
Neither HPR nor its Volunteers, nor its Internet Provider, nor its Web Host are responsible for the accuracy of the information in these listings. We provide the listings "as–is" to help cats find new homes. We rely solely on the information provided to us.
Since we do not guarantee any of the animals, prospective owners, or folks placing the ads, are requested to ask enough questions to assure that you are getting a good match in a cat or dog. We highly recommend getting a written statement of transfer of ownership, and records about the animal’s health, recent vaccinations and testing.
Note that either HPR or any other person or organization placing the rescue animals may ask for a donation or charge an adoption fee to cover direct and indirect expenses incurred in their rescue program. These fees serve to reimburse the person or group who have most recently cared for the animal (for spay/neuter, shots, FeLV/FIV testing, heart worm testing, fecal tests, basic health exam, etc).
When adopting an animal from a private home, in most cases you should not be asked for money. If an individual is asking an adoption fee, ask enough questions to be sure that they are not in the business of selling stray cats or dogs in dubious health and passing them off as purebreds. While there are many wonderful people doing legitimate rescue work, there are also a few unscrupulous people as well. Please be careful.
