Hope Lives Here Animal Rescue Society

Hope Lives Here Animal Rescue Society Hope Lives Here Animal Rescue Society is an Alberta based, non-profit Animal Rescue Society
(61)

"We are the voice for the voiceless."
�Hope Lives Here Animal Rescue Society (HLH) is a non-profit animal rescue founded in 2012. We are committed to rescuing stray, abandoned, and unwanted dogs and cats from Alberta urban and rural areas, including First Nations surrounding Edmonton and Red Deer, to then place them in permanent homes. HLH created a spay/neuter initiative program within the commu

nities we work with to help curb the overpopulation of unwanted dogs and cats. Our organization works with field volunteers in several rural communities across Alberta to rescue dogs and cats in need. Unfortunately, for every dog we save, there are at-least 10 more requiring immediate rescue, and in the case of cats, at least 30 more requiring rescue - without foster space we cannot rescue them. Hope Lives Here Animal Rescue Society received their Certificate of Incorporation on November 30, 2012 and became recognized as a Registered Charity. We do our best to keep our operating costs low, allowing us to assist more animals. Hope Lives Here Animal Rescue Society relies entirely on the generosity, skills, and compassion of a volunteer network in order to: �
Provide foster care, socialization, and basic training to prepare the foster animal for adoption
�Administer medical assistance to the foster animal
�Coordinate the adoption of the foster animal through a matching process of the animal’s needs to lifestyles and personalities of the adopters
Respond to calls for animals in need by traveling to urban and rural locations to perform rescues
�Provide food to field volunteers for the animals who cannot yet be rescued
�Prepare and delivery outreach programs and initiatives that promote responsible pet ownership
Raise funds to support HLH activities; and �
Build awareness about Hope Lives Here Animal Rescue Society and our cause. �

Hope Lives Here Animal Rescue Society does not operate out of a facility; instead, we rely on a network of foster homes who open their homes and hearts to rescued animals until a permanent home is found. Supplies such as leashes, collars, toys, dishes, food, litter, treats, and kennels are provided to our foster homes. A loving, safe and lifelong home is the goal in Hope Lives Here Animal Rescue Society's rehoming efforts; therefore, a multi-step adoption process is followed to ensure the best match possible between the needs of the animal and the lifestyle of the potential adopters. Many of HLH adoptable animals have been rescued from harsh situation; therefore, they are adopted out as companion animals to be loved and protected for the rest of their lives. The time we take in processing adoptions and careful vetting of each potential adoptive home is a core philosophy of our organization.

Hi, I'm Tucker!

I'm being fostered in Edmonton and was part of a big rescue effort that brought in 18 other pups.

I'm a 4 month old boy who is good with kids and other dogs, but slow intros are best as I'm a bit shy. I am young enough that I could get along with cats.

I am also kennel trained, but sleeping in your bed is fun too! I find walks very interesting, fun and a way to learn new things. My foster dad says I still tangle in his legs, but I’m trying & learning. I like all the walks I can get.

I enjoy meeting people and other pups, but I am shy at first. I love to cuddle with people and my fur foster siblings, give me hugs & I’ll love you forever. 🐾

If you think I'd be a perfect addition to your family, please visit the website and fill out an application at:

Description:
Meet Azalea, affectionately known as Azalea-Moo! With her adorable nose spots and striking black tabby pattern, she’s always the first to dive into the action. One of the more confident kittens in her crew, Azalea loves to race up and down her cat tree so quickly that it gives her foster mom a heart attack! Her latest fascination? The bathtub, which she occasionally claims as her nap spot—even when it’s a little wet.

Azalea-Moo is full of personality, charm, and kitten energy. As the natural leader of her tabby sister squad, she’s both adventurous and affectionate. Whether she’s snuggling up or showing off her playful side, Azalea is as cute as a button and ready to bring joy to a fun-loving home!

Available first week of January, 2025 for foster to adopt

Name: Dorothy
Breed: Shepherd cross
Female
Age; estimate is 1.5 years old

Dorothy was found living under a car with her babies in the cold Albertan winter. She was emaciated and full of worms. Despite all that hardship she had 5 happy fat puppies! Talk about a supermom!

Dorothy is shy and timid when first meeting new people but once she feels comfortable a wriggle excited to play puppy comes out of that shell. She is house- trained. She does not have any interest in cats. I expect that she will be wonderful with dogs but hasn't been tested yet because she is still raising her babies. She has so much love to give! She is smart and figures out what is being asked of her quickly. Dorothy's perfect family would be people with a calm patience and understanding that are willing to let the scared abandoned dog blossom into a gentle playful puppy again. She will steal your heart with her big, brown intelligent eyes!

Name: Violet
Age/DOB: August 10th, 2024
S*x: F
Breed/color: black/domestic short hair

Violet was brought into care after living outside in a shed her first few weeks of life. She was single-handedly the hardest kitten to trap. It took almost a week for her! While she started off as a master of hiding, she is now more confident and playful. With her unique markings and little socks, she’s so elegant and dainty. She also makes the cutest little bird sounds! She's very inquisitive, especially if her humans have food and loves to play with all of her sisters.

Meet Talulah! ✨

This sweet little girl was rescued after being abandoned on a farm, found a week after her sister. Despite her rough start, she’s making strides in her foster home! 💛

Talulah is a sweet little girl with the softest velvety fur! She has a shy personality, but is warming up to getting pets and snuggles slowly, particularly if you lure her with treats! She especially loves to follow around the big cats, and is more content hanging with her siblings than people so far. She has a tiny little face with sunshine yellow eyes, and loves to be queen of the castle at top of the cat tree! Talulah can’t wait for you to show her some love, and help her learn how to trust humans. She just needs a little nudge! 😻

Remember our Feral 15 cat colony we rescued in the coldest days in the beginning of 2024?
These 2 out of the 15 have learnt from some amazing fosters that humans are kind of neat.
Now being in care for almost a year they are so ready to find a safe loving warm home with people that will support them.
We are so happy they aren’t outside for this upcoming winter again and will never have to me
Gusta and Sprinkles are a delightful duo of black-furred elegance who are deeply bonded and looking for their perfect forever home together. While their exact relationship is a mystery we know that one thing is certain: their connection is unbreakable, and they rely on each other for comfort and companionship.

**Gusta: The Quiet Observer**

Gusta is the reserved half of this pair. She’s a shy, independent soul who prefers a more low-key lifestyle. While not a big cuddler, she will welcome pets when she’s in the mood and enjoys lounging in her favorite spots, quietly observing her surroundings. Gusta relies on Sprinkles for a sense of security, making their bond all the more special.

**Gusta’s Highlights:**

- Shy but friendly on her terms
- Enjoys lounging and observing
- Independent and low-maintenance
- Relies on Sprinkles for comfort

**Sprinkles: The Outgoing Adventurer**

Sprinkles balances Gusta’s reserved nature with her outgoing and curious personality. She loves to know what you’re up to and isn’t shy about asking for attention. When she wants pets, she’ll reach out with her paws, letting you know it’s time for snuggles. Like Gusta, Sprinkles enjoys her independence but also loves to play and explore.

**Sprinkles’ Highlights:**

- Outgoing and curious
- Independent but affectionate on her terms
- Playful and inquisitive
- A comforting companion for Gusta

**Their Shared Traits:**

- Both are night owls and entertain each other
- They enjoy birdwatching and lounging together
- Perfect for a mature, peaceful home where they can thrive together

This bonded pair would do best in a quiet, mature home where their personalities can shine. They bring a wonderful balance of independence, playfulness, and affection and will make their new family feel incredibly lucky to have them.

**Ready to Welcome Gusta and Sprinkles?** If you’re looking for a stunning black beauty duo with a deep bond, Gusta and Sprinkles are ready to bring love and companionship into your home. Apply to adopt online today to inquire more about this special pair!
