Highway of Hope Animal Sanctuary

Maureen and I previously worked at a humane society where we witnessed the euthanasia of animals due to space constraints, temperament issues, health problems, and even minor conditions such as ringworm. Disheartened by these practices, we decided to establish our own no-kill rescue organization, with the exception of cases involving severe pain and suffering. We provide a safe and loving environment in our homes for dogs and puppies, ensuring they receive necessary veterinary care and spaying or neutering. We address any medical issues, including treating conditions like parvo, and have achieved significant success with our treatment efforts. Since our rescue operates from our home, it is essential that the dogs we take in are compatible with other dogs, cats, and children accustomed to pets. Each rescue dog begins training immediately upon arrival and integrates into our family of well-adjusted dogs, which greatly aids their development. Both of us have fenced yards, allowing for safe outdoor play. We also provide corrective training for issues such as food and toy aggression, as well as any other behavioral challenges. We are selective about the animals we accept, only taking in those we believe we can help, as our rescue serves as a lifelong sanctuary for those not adopted. Additionally, we take in mill dogs, which require a longer rehabilitation process. Currently, we cannot accommodate large numbers of dogs, as we are caring for several senior dogs and a few that will remain with us permanently. As these senior dogs pass away naturally, we will have the opportunity to take in more animals. If we encounter purebred dogs, we make an effort to place them with breed-specific rescues, as they typically have better adoption prospects and possess specialized knowledge regarding the needs of those breeds.
