We are saving even more lives! |
I am thrilled to announce our newest program, Precious Time Dogs (PTD) — in conjunction with the Santa Cruz County Animal Control (SCCAC) in Nogales, Arizona. This new, all-volunteer program rescues dogs at risk of euthanasia due to space constraints at the Santa Cruz shelter. Despite the best efforts of SCCAC staff, they are forced to make difficult decisions regarding euthanasia.
This is where HOPE comes in.
With the help of our wonderful HOPE volunteers, these at-risk dogs are networked with various qualified rescue organizations throughout Arizona and the surrounding states. The dogs are pulled under HOPE Animal Shelter and are then vetted and transported to the rescue or placed in one of our PTD foster homes until a forever home can be found.
You will find a more detailed explanation and a way to donate to this innovative new program on our website.
And take a look below to see some of our adoption success stories out of Santa Cruz already!

Adoption Success Stories!
Smokey from Santa Cruz
Smokey, one of our first Precious Time Dogs from Santa Cruz County, brought his new family back to HOPE for a nice visit! |

Precious Lizzy
After being adopted and returned twice, it looks like sweet little Lizzy knows that the third time is the charm!

Bueller just graduated!
Congratulations to Bueller, who just graduated from Obedience School and is enjoying life with his new family in Delaware. Bueller's family sent this picture and a nice note: "Thanks for saving him and all the others!"

Wait, what?!!? More adoptions out of Santa Cruz?
Life of Reilly
We are so happy for Reilly! His new family just sent us this update: "We wanted to follow up with you to share that Reilly is doing really well! She’s adjusting to her new home and getting loads of love and pets (and treats) every day! She’s getting more and more comfortable every day that passes as she realizes she’s with us for life! We love her so much and we’re so grateful to you and HOPE for helping us find her."

My Buddy!
Buddy, who was rescued from Pinal County, waited such a long time to find his forever home, and did he ever hit pay dirt! His new family includes a doppelganger sibling (Buddy's on the left). Buddy just went on his first hike and even got to go swimming at Tanque Verde Falls. What a life you have now, Buddy. We are so excited for you!

Oh, that precious
little face!
Wouldn't you want to look at this face every day, even with this silly ear?
I'm Chloe, and I'm a bit shy, but I am a sucker for treats! If I found my forever home, I would warm up quickly, especially if you offered me a kitty treat. I love playing with toys and the other younger cats. When someone comes into our room at HOPE with a bag of treats, I am always one of the first kitties to run up and ask for some!
I would love a forever home of my own, and I would love to meet you!
To adopt these sweet pets, please visit hopeanimalshelter.net. By the way, most of the animals you see in this newsletter (and many more!) are available for adoption. Contact us, and we will help you make the perfect match.

We are still in desperate need of a mobile home!
We are searching for a mobile home as the previously donated one has fallen into disrepair and can no longer be used.
Many animals’ lives have been saved due to this separate space — dogs and cats who needed to be isolated through no fault of their own. Many were sick and needed to be kept separate from the other animals to prevent spreading germs. Some were too afraid to be with other animals.
We are searching for a replacement — a mobile home that will help us continue to save these special-needs animals. If you don’t have a mobile home, perhaps you could donate to our fund to purchase one.
Your contributions are the key to our success because you keep us running!

How can you help us make a difference in the lives of animals?
You can make a gift to homeless pets in a number of ways. Of course, we are grateful for a direct donation, but look at these other creative ways to help the animals at HOPE! |
