How HHP helps our rescues
We assist our member rescues in a number of ways.
Proper assessment, vet care, fostering and adoption screening/placement are the most time consuming aspects of rescue. Medical care creates the largest financial need.
Our goal is to provide direct assistance with some of the administrative and fundraising aspects of rescue, so that volunteers can direct more of their time to caring for animals.
Where do rescued pets come from?
HHP is a Canadian based charitable organization and, as such, members must always give priority to homeless pets in Canada. We have strict policies concerning the origin of rescued pets taken in by our member groups.
Dog Rescues
Dog rescues may choose to help dogs based upon their breed, their size, their location, their need or other factors. When rescuing dogs, each group must give priority to dogs located in Canada, according to available space and capabilities of foster home space available. Dog rescues may import some shelter dogs from the USA, provided they are healthy and properly vetted (including vaccination and HW testing) prior to transport, safely transported and meet all Canadian import requirements. HHP dog rescues may not import dogs from any other countries.
Cat & Small Animal Rescues
Our cat and small animal rescues do not import animals from outside Canada.
