We’re All in this Together
Imagine This ….A day in the life of an animal rescue volunteer…
Imagine caring for animals so deeply that you willingly volunteer several hours a day of your time to help feed and care for homeless animals. These timid animals usually eat around 5am in the morning and 10pm at night when its dark out and there’s not a lot of mean people around that can hurt them. Sometimes you are helping animals in dangerous neighborhoods in the middle of the night all by yourself. Filling the bellies of the animals depends solely upon the amount of donations you were able to scrape up during the week. When you fall short on donations, you tap into your own grocery supply fund and go without food yourself so that you can help feed those who have no voice. You’re exhausted and feel defeated daily because you don’t have enough resources to help them all therefore, you go home knowing that although you helped some…many others will ultimately suffer and die.
This is a sad reality every day in Miami Dade County and Broward County, Florida.
If that’s not bad enough, while feeding some of the homeless cats in your colony, you notice that some may be sick, critically injured, or near death and they need to be trapped immediately and taken to a vet to receive urgent care. The problem is that you are not skilled in trapping feral animals…Or maybe a cruel person just dumped a few unwanted / cats or dogs in your area thinking that “someone” will feed and take care of them. Those new animals, if not spayed or neutered, can literally create hundreds of babies, further contributing to the homeless animal population problem in our community.
FACT: There are currently HUNDREDS of colonies in our community just like this that need our help TODAY!
At Hope for Animals Foundation, we have started to accomplish something amazing that has never been done before! We have accomplished the impossible by networking with hundreds of amazing volunteers in our community who donate their time, money and resources to selflessly help homeless animals. We strategically align colony feeders with specific skilled Trappers who can support them with our TNR Program (Trap, Neuter & Return) and other trapping services.
In addition, we have partnered with dozens of veterinary clinics in both counties to provide high-quality, cost-effective care for our homeless animals in need of urgent medical care. Animals who receive medical services are then placed with one of our foster parent homes while they rehabilitate and when healed, then they are returned to their original location.
How Do We Do All This?
Hope for Animals Foundation created a strategic plan to bring all of the volunteers that have been working individually….Together! Sound easy? Think again! Our team met with hundreds of volunteers within our community to literally map out which demographic areas they are currently providing support to. We now have an organized approach to ending pain and suffering for homeless animals by addressing the root cause of the homeless issue.
By tapping into our relationships with professional trappers, we have strategically assigned trappers to every demographic location that has an existing colony feeder to ensure that there are no sick animals that need immediate vet care. Next the skilled trappers begin the daunting process of TNR …Trap, Neuter & Return in effort to gain control of the population.
For the first time ever, our volunteers are coming together as one to help end suffering for the homeless animals in our community. This level of collaboration has never been possible before, Until NOW!
How We Support Our Communities
Hope for Animals Foundation partners with manufacturers of pet food, select medications and dog and cat supplies so that we can deliver these much-needed items to our volunteers Free of Charge. This allows our volunteers to are focus on what’s important…Helping the animals! There is no need for volunteers to be stressed out by the thought of raising enough money. We do all the heavy lifting!
We have also partnered with a few large community shelters to assist them by supplying them with food and supplies needed for their shelter pets. It’s a huge undertaking and none of this is possible without your help…
Our Mission is to help those who help animals, and our Vision is to end the pain and suffering that homeless animals suffer from daily…Please consider donating TODAY!
