Hope for Life Rescue - Recovery Road

The Rainy Day Fund 🌦️🌈

We’re excited to introduce the Rainy Day Fund—a special initiative to help us cover the medical expenses of the animals we rescue, especially in emergencies or unforeseen situations.

This fund is named after a brave little rescue we took in last year: Rain (affectionately known as Baby Rain). At just a few weeks old, Rain survived an animal attack that left her with facial scarring on one side. When we took her in, we believed she had healed and was ready for adoption. However, her foster mom noticed issues with her jaw, revealing that her medical challenges weren’t over.

The trauma Rain endured affected the growth of her skull, leading to unexpected expenses, including CT scans, specialist visits, and surgery to improve her bite. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we were able to provide the care she needed—care that totaled thousands of dollars.

Since Rain’s journey, we’ve welcomed many other animals with similar unanticipated medical needs. Often, we’re faced with difficult decisions about treatment based on the funds we have available and what we can raise.

That’s why we’ve created the Rainy Day Fund. Donations to this fund will go directly toward the care of animals requiring extra medical attention.

2024: Year in Review ❤️

Thanks to your support and generosity we were able to save HUNDREDS of lives this year.

When Hope For Life Rescue first began, we started with rescuing cats. But as space became available, we eventually began rescuing dogs as well. Then several years later we had additional temporary space that afforded us the opportunity to take in a record-breaking 75 animals.

When we didn't have that space anymore, we asked God, "how are we ever going to take in that many animals now?" 😞

Fast forward to today and many blessing later, we have been able to consistently rescue over 1,000 animals a year for several years now. Back then, we never thought it would be possible in such a small space and such a small number of staff. But thanks to God and all of our wonderful supporters and volunteers, our rescue continues to grow and things we never thought possible have happened!

We can't wait to see what 2025 has in store! 🐾

THANK YOU to everyone who donated toward the cost of Elsa’s surgery! 🥹🩷

She did great and is now recovering in her foster home with her sister Anna acting as nurse and emotional support. 🙏

DONATIONS FOR GIVING TUESDAY 💜💜💜

If you have followed our page, you are probably familiar with Elsa’s story. Her and her sister Anna, came to us in horrible condition; the victims of severe neglect! 💔

Link to their album: https://www.facebook.com/share/1B3Ui5GFuH/?

Both girls are doing SO MUCH better, but poor Elsa has been having issues with her eyes which we found out was caused due to a condition called Entropion. She has so much skin around her face and eyes, that’s it’s causing her eyelids to roll inward, which is then causing her eyelashes to scratch against her cornea. Without surgery to correct this, it will eventually lead to damage to her eyes which can cause issues with her sight.

Not to mention it’s extremely uncomfortable and painful! 😣

She is scheduled for surgery this Thursday and we are anticipating it to cost at least $1,500, which doesn’t include medication, follow-up appointments, and the bloodwork she had prior to surgery.

We have a generous donor willing to match the first $500 donated.

If you can help, please do so! Any additional money we raise will go toward the cost of her and her sister’s care, which still includes their spay appointments. 🩷

If you would like to donate to help us cover their continued care.

Any amount helps! ❤️
