Can you give just one a loving home?

YOUR DONATION IS DESPERATELY NEEDED

HPR is asking for your support.  Times are tough, and even tougher for the animals.  HPR saves hundreds of precious lives each year, and we hope to continue doing so for many years to come.  Providing the basics for the animals in our rescue is a real struggle and our bank account is going very fast. Currently we have an outstanding balance with our vet of $6, 000.00, plus daily expenses such as food, litter, medications, vaccinations, spay/neuters, testing and medical needs arise each day.  It is ONLY through contributions from generous people like you that will allow us to continue doing the work we do to save more lives each year.  Even small donations make a big difference.  If you can help the homeless animals at HPR, please contribute today by clicking on the HPR donation button below.  And thank you, in advance, for caring.

Saving one animal won't change the world,
but it sure does change the world for that one animal - and for you.

In addition to the animals HPR has in our care in our Miami location, we also share URGENT, individual pleas here on our website for lost animals and orphaned or injured animals around the country needing homes and emergency care.   Please take time to visit the link below, and email or telephone the individual listed as the contact person for each animal if you can help, foster, adopt, etc.  Thank you.

Hurricane Pets Rescue (HPR) is a 501c3 non-profit nationwide disaster relief/animal welfare organization started in 2005 following hurricane Katrina. Our goal is to help families locate their lost pets or find homes for orphaned animals across the USA.  

Sponsored and Organized by http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hurricanepets/

Our Yahoo Group website above furnishes contacts and information to help people caught in a disaster situation.  On the site, open the link to "Database" in the left-hand menu.

HPR is an all breed, nationwide NO KILL non-profit rescue. We offer shelter and care for homeless disaster relief animals, through a network of rescue and foster homes. We encourage Spay and Neuter programs and present education regarding animal care and welfare.

Hurricane Pets is comprised of a small group of private individuals, committed to the lives of the animals we save.  Most of the animals we rescue following a disaster situation remain in foster care for a period of 3 months.  If after 3 months the animal is not reclaimed by its owner, that animal is then put up for adoption.  Some animals are also owner surrender and those are put up for adoption immediately.

All expenses come out of our own pockets. Adoption fees are set to a limited amount and are used to offset the cost of necessary medical and caring expenses of the animals in our care.   We are not a shelter and we operate solely from foster homes. 

Some adoptable pets are located in our home location, Miami, and if you like to see them,  please call or e-mail us to make an appointment.  Please note that you MUST fill out a screening application before seeing our pets.

If you are a kind, loving, caring adopter who will love and care for your pet and do the best you can to protect and provide for them you are the kind of adopter we want and please take a look at our animals that need homes. We reserve the right to refuse to adopt to anyone.

	Operation Noble Foster - Many thousands of requests for the fostering of pets have come in from members of our armed forces, National Guard and Reservists, that are being called to active duty as a result of the War on Terror, including the deployments in Afghanistan and Iraq. Operation Noble Foster volunteers are proud to have provided so many caring cat foster homes and for making it possible for there to be many very happy reunions, and many have continued to foster for other military pets.

Remember...there are 45 cats and dogs for every person born. Only 1 out of 10 dogs born ever get a home. Only 1 out of 12 cats born ever finds a home. 800 dogs & cats are KILLED each HOUR in the U.S, because there are not enough homes for them. Please adopt and/or foster! PLEASE spay and neuter your pets - watch this VIDEO

 

       

Lost and injured animals have special needs - we hope you will contact one of the heart-led agencies listed on our "shelter page" to help - everything is appreciated - your time, your money and your prayers.  This site will be updated as information is available.  Please email us with rescue info to share.
