Every dollar donated to HHR is 100% tax deductible and helps us to continue saving lives. Please consider making a year end donation to our farm animals.
Rescue Trauma
Want to understand what compassion fatigue and trauma look like? It’s this! It’s the constant worry that every box on the side of the road might hold kittens or an abandoned puppy. It’s scanning the roadsides for injured animals or feeling dread when passing known dumping grounds. It’s scrolling through social media, being tagged daily in posts about animals with only hours to live, and knowing you can’t save them all because adoptions are down, and the quality of applicants has shifted.
Trauma takes many forms, and it’s difficult to describe how this work changes you. As fulfilling as it can be, you can’t unsee the horrors inflicted on innocent animals. There’s no way to rewire your brain to forget.
This is why we keep going—why we face the trauma head-on. Because the pain of walking away and doing nothing would be just as unbearable. We do it for them, the ones who have no voice. Please continue to support our mission and understand that we are always trying our best.

DUMPED CAT CAUGHT ON CAMERA
We live in a throwaway society where too many people see animals as disposable. They abandon them without a second thought, ignoring the trauma and fear these innocent creatures endure. Dumping a pet isn’t just cruel—it’s dangerous. They’re left vulnerable, confused, and at risk of injury, starvation, or worse.
Recently, someone heartlessly dumped a cat in a carrier in our community, leaving them to fend for themselves. It’s a reminder that we must do better. Pets aren’t objects; they are living beings who deserve love and commitment—not to be discarded like trash.
To the person who did this: your heartlessness is repulsive, and I hope karma catches up to you and hits twice as hard.
To everyone else: let’s step up and be the voice for these innocent animals who can’t defend themselves. They deserve love, not cruelty.
If you defend these actions, you’ll be blocked and removed from our page. There is ZERO EXCUSE FOR THIS.

Natalie & Norah
I Choose Heartbreak Over Death - A HHR Foster Story
Natalie and Norah came to our rescue through me, Andrea—one of the volunteers and the person behind our social pages.These two kittens were in grave danger, trapped in a manufactured home slated for demolition due to a severe hoarding situation compounded by extensive mold and water damage. While their mom had already been TNR’d by a local rescue group, Natalie and Norah were left to fend for themselves, relying on food from kind neighbors. To make matters worse, coyotes were known to be preying on kittens in the area.
We managed to rescue these two girls, but they were shy and in need of proper socialization and dedication to help them thrive. It didn’t take long before they started to purr and shower me with love.After two months of fostering, they’re now ready for their next chapter—to be spayed and put up for adoption with HHR. But saying goodbye doesn’t come without tears and heartbreak. I understand that fostering isn’t for everyone.
I used to think the same way, but when you see the reality of rescue, you realize that fostering can truly be a matter of life or death for many animals. I share this with a heavy heart—my office feels empty without them, and my heart still aches, but they deserve the best future possible.
For those wondering, I have two senior dogs who are not cat-friendly, so it wouldn't be fair to confine Natalie and Norah to a single space permanently.My hope is that you open your hearts and homes, recognize the dedication and heartbreak that goes on behind the scenes, and perhaps, someone watching this video will consider adopting them when they’re ready.

Taylor has been with us for nearly 3 years, and it's hard to believe she's still waiting for her forever home! The current state of animal welfare is unlike anything we've seen before. Just a few years ago, we were adopting out 4-5 dogs a month (minimum), but now we're lucky to see that many in a year. Beautiful dogs like Taylor deserve a loving family. If you're interested in adopting Taylor, check out her Petfinder profile: [Taylor on Petfinder](https://www.petfinder.com/dog/taylor-53935923/ct/north-haven/halfway-home-rescue-inc-ct211/).

Cupcake’s Ear Mites
If bugs make your skin crawl just by looking at them, imagine being infested. Our veterinary team captured a video showing what's under the microscope—Cupcake's ear is swarming with ear mites.
Ear mites, scientifically known as Otodectes cynotis, are tiny parasites that infest the ears of cats, dogs, and other animals. Despite their small size, these mites can cause significant discomfort and potential health issues if not addressed promptly.

Prince update!
We’re making slow progress and letting him lead the way. First thing is just calming down. He’s eating like a champ now, days later.
Small gains. Small kitty. Small steps. Well get there.
