Help House of Hope Animal Rescue raise funds to save more deserving dogs from high kill shelters, provide them with the medical care they need and place them with loving families. Join us for a day of family fun, vendors, demonstrations, raffles, entertainment, food trucks, and more!
Well-behaved, leashed furry family members are always welcome.
Why participate? Why donate?
-
This event provides House of Hope with the majority of the funding we rely upon for the following year to fulfill our mission to save the lives of dogs who, through no fault of their own, find themselves in high-kill shelters.
-
100% of the funds raised go to our dogs. Your donation and fundraising efforts help pay for medical treatment, transportation, and foster supplies.
-
85% of our dogs are heartworm positive. The treatment averages $1,500 per dog while our adoption fees are only 20% of this cost alone.
-
House of Hope frequently donates dogs to be trained as emotional support or service dogs and we don't charge in those situations.
