Saving one animal
won't change the world,
but it sure does change the world for that one animal -
and for you.
Hurricane Pets Rescue (HPR) is a 501c3 non-profit nationwide disaster relief/animal rescue 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 compromised 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. You may also see our cats on saturday at Petco in North Miami right next to Costo. 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.
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 orphaned and 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.

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

~ A Plea from Hurricane Pets Rescue ~
Due to the fact that our foster homes are full to the brim, we need dog crates (medium to large in size), carriers, Cat food (complete natural choice), cat treats, toys (new), Litter pans, Feline Pine kitty litter , beds (new), toys and scratch post (new), advantage for cats and dogs, Terramycin, un-mixed Clavomax, small harnesses and leads, rescue remedy, lysine (from twin labs) and of course we are always need $$$ donations which now are indeed tax deductible.
Explanation: Anything that cannot be bleached is made as new. Even though we are running short on funds we only feed our fosters the Natural Choice Complete wet and dry food and we only use feline pine kitty litter because clumping litter can lead to many health problems for the cats as well as humans - especially humans that are highly allergic to dust!
Also we have registered our group with 1-800-Petmeds, if you need petmeds or flea products, please order through them and at check out, where it says "special offer" enter HPR as the code. 1-800-petmeds will send us a few $$$ for every purchase. Thank you
We all need pets supplies. Please - if you use 1800 pet meds to order your pets supplies use this code at check out where saids special offer: HPR 1800 pet meds will make a donation to HPR (Hurricane Pets rescue) with every order that our code is enter. Thank you in advance.
