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!
