Saving Hope Foundation

The motto at Saving Hope is “No Dog Left Behind”.

We will take every dog that needs care and help no matter what shape he or she is in and no matter what the cost to bring them back to health and a new life. We will not allow any dog to be euthanised without every effort being made to make them well, give them love and a forever home. We want every dog to have a chance at being happy and cared for because so many of them have had sad beginnings and terrible starts to life at the hands of cruel and selfish people.

At the end of the day for us at Saving Hope “it’s all about the animals”.

Pet Refuge

“Pet Refuge exists to offer temporary accommodation for pets of the victims leaving abusive homes. The shelter provides a safe bed for a pet and all-inclusive care such as food, necessary veterinary treatment, training, and enrichment as well as transporting the pet to safety and, once it is safe to do so, transporting the pet(s) back to their family. Because of Pet Refuge, families can keep their pets safe while they escape, giving them the space and time to plan for a future without violence for them and their pets. Owners no longer need to make the choice between their safety and their pet. Safer pets = Safer Families. Since we opened in 2021, we have helped 454 pets and their families to escape abuse.”
