Additional adoption info
The Adoption Process will begin once the rescue has been spayed or neutered, given age appropriate vaccines, microchipped, heartworm tested, wormed and flea treated. The rescue will have also received their own individual rehabilitation and obedience training.
An Adoption Application will be emailed to you and is completed by you, the potential adoptive family. The questions are very extensive which assists us in providing the safest and most appropriate homes for our rescues. All questions must be answered and incomplete applications will NOT be reviewed. After you have submitted the application, a representative will contact you to discuss your application, answer any questions and possibly schedule a Meet n Greet.
Adopting a pet is a lifetime commitment! Please do NOT submit an application unless everyone in the home is ready to adopt a pet. All family members must be committed to the care, training and attention your new pet will require. This includes a financial responsibility to provide vetting and routine care.
Meet n Greets are by appointment only and are scheduled by one of our representatives. All family members, including current pets, are required to come. This is your chance to spend a little time with the rescue and begin to learn about their personality. If the Meet n Greet is a success, a Trial Run is then set up.
The Home Inspection is set up by a HOPE representative. They will come to your home to make sure you are ready for your new addition. They will look for safety hazards inside the home, check fencing, zip lines and tie outs etc. If changes are needed, they will guide you with advice on how to correct. When your home inspection passes then a Trial Run is set up.
A Trial Run is designed to help the rescue transition smoothly into your home. A representative will bring the rescue to your home and if it is determined that you have everything ready for your potential new family member, the rescue will stay with you on a trial basis. We require that the first 2 days of a Trial Run be strictly dedicated to the rescue. Please do not schedule any other obligations so your focus can be solely on helping him/her settle into your home and begin to learn your routine. We will send their food, a favorite toy, and a familiar article to help make their transition as seamless as possible. A Trial Run normally lasts 2-4 weeks.
If it is determined during the Trial Run that the rescue is a good fit for your family, a representative will make a follow-up visit and finalize the adoption. At this time, you will sign the Adoption Agreement and pay the adoption fee. It is mandatory that, by this visit, you have purchased a safe leash, an approved collar (martingale or buckle style) and a personal identification tag.
Please know that adopting a rescue not only saves the life of that pet, but it also allows us to save a 2nd life by opening another spot in our program.

HOPE helps dogs and cats in need who are abused, abandoned, neglected or are no longer being cared for properly. We are their HOPE!
Our Mission
Our mission is to help, heal and rehome, giving needy dogs and cats the happily ever after they deserve.
We also help homes in need with food donations and training advice.
We are animal loving volunteers who spend our lives dedicated to our rescues. Once an animal has entered our program, they are placed into one of our foster homes. All of our rescues are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested, dewormed and have flea/tick prevention applied. Our rescues also receive all necessary veterinarian care including specialty care and surgeries. While in their foster homes they not only learn basic obedience and proper manners, they also learn about love, fun and security.
Training & Rehabilitation
Our rescued dogs are rehabilitated and trained with positive reinforcement techniques. These methods create highly adoptable dogs by helping them gain confidence and ability to communicate more clearly. We always need foster homes and volunteers. If you would like to become a foster home or volunteer, please visit our Volunteer and Foster Home page and see how you can help.
Once our rescued animal is finished with their vetting and training, they are placed up for adoption. We learn our rescue's needs and based on our knowledge, experience and observation of each individual rescue, their requirements to adopt them are specifically set for them. We maintain consistency by following a very strict adoption process. If you would like to adopt a HOPE rescue, please visit our Adoption page.
Hope relies completely on donations to help those in need. Please consider a tax deductible donation.
Help us help them!
What is HOPE?
“Hope is the expectation that something outside of ourselves, something or someone external is going to come to our rescue and we will live happily ever after.”

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
