We are “Hope”, in most cases a dog’s last Hope. Hope Rescues ALL breeds. We help the homeless, the injured and the sick. We absorb over $10,000.00 in vet bills nearly every month. For us it truly is "ALL ABOUT THE DOGS". Hope has saved the lives of over 3000 dogs since 2005. The rescue raises money through grants and fundraising only.
