Halfway Home Rescue Inc.

Halfway Home Rescue Inc. is a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to saving the lives of abused, abandoned, and homeless animals and providing a safe haven for these animals until a permanent home can be found. While in our care, these animals are examined by a veterinarian and given proper medical attention (including spay/neuter). Animals deemed “un-adoptable” become a part of our sanctuary and live out their natural lives under the care of volunteers and trusted veterinarians at Halfway Home Rescue Inc.

Halfway Home Rescue is comprised of a very small group of volunteers dedicated to making a difference. We operate 100% on private donations. In 2018, more than 500 cats and dogs passed through our doors.

All of the animals currently residing at Halfway Home Rescue, Inc. have been examined by a veterinarian, spayed/neutered, tested for contagious diseases, and are up to date with vaccinations PRIOR TO ADOPTION.

The animals that come to us have suffered lives of abuse, neglect, and abandonment. We do not have any knowledge of their history prior to entry into HHR. Our goal is to place each animal in a home that most suits its needs. Please email us for an adoption application. The application is also available on our website www.HalfwayHomeRescue.org. Once completed, we will set up an appointment for you to meet each of our animals looking for homes. If a match is made, you will fill out an adoption contract and receive all of the medical papers for your new pet.
