Hurricane Pets Rescue Inc. (hpr) - Miami Beach Pet Shelter

Hurricane Pets Rescue Inc. (hpr)

Hurricane Pets Rescue Inc. (HPR) was founded in 2005 in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, and began as a disaster relief organization for animals. Either alone or in conjunction with other organizations we have continued to rescue pets and reunite them with their families following every major disaster since. In many cases, having just lost everything, the humans end up being the ones who need our support the most. Our mission is first and foremost to rescue and advocate for homeless animals, whether it be from a disaster zone, or imminent death in a shelter. The animals in our care come to us through a wide range of circumstances, none of them good. Most are in acute situations that require immediate intervention. Sadly we are only able to assist with a very small percentage of the pleas that we receive. Once rescued, the medical needs of an animal are addressed immediately. He or she is then placed in either one of our foster homes, or our own small cat sanctuary in Miami, Florida. HPR does not receive any funds from the government, we rely heavily on donations from the public. 100% of our revenue goes to the care and well being of our animals. Given the unfortunate events at several other “sanctuaries” around the country, we feel the need to state that we use the term sanctuary in its truest sense. The HPR cat sanctuary is an impeccably maintained cage free environment. We do not warehouse animals, and one of the reasons we and have remained small is to ensure those in our care are given the best possible quality of life for the amazing souls we are guardian to. Many of the animals we rescue are seniors, chronically ill and/or disabled, making it unlikely they will be adopted, and so they have a home with us for life. The safety and well being of our animals is our priority, and any applications to foster or adopt are thoroughly vettedchecked out, and all applicants must agree to a home visit. Our rescue work includes work with similarly minded groups or individuals around the country to facilitate successful placement of animals in danger.

Adoption Process

1 - The first step to adopting an animal after you inquire, is filling our screening application for either cats or dogs. We at HPR have been adopting out animals for many years, we know that our screening applications are extensive, but we find it very much necessary and are PAW OBLIGATED, to ask the questions we ask in order for adoptions to be a success and for it to be a good match for all humans and animals involved. 2 - After your application has been approved, we will make and appointment with you and all family members involved to meet the pet your are interested in adopting. a - If you are adopting a cat this meeting will take place at our facility or foster home. b - If you are adopting a dog and if you have another dog already in the household, we will meet with you and all family members involved, this included all 4 legged children as well in a neutral place. c - If you are adopting a dog after the above meeting takes place, a second meeting will be schedules in your own home. 3 - If humans and pet or pets are a match, at this time we require that half of the adoption fee is payed to hold the dog until the adoption is finalized. 4 - The final step is a home visit to your home. We will NOT send an animal anywhere without a home visit done beforehand, please do not ask otherwise. 5 - At this time you can pay the rest of the adoption fee and take your new best friend home.
