How To Adopt
Hope Animal Rescues
Please call to make an appointment to visit with the pets.
Where you can view our pets in person

Hope Rescues does not have their own building and land for the rescued animals to stay.
Therefore, since our pets are boarded you must call ahead to visit..
For more information you may call (618) 979-1908
We rescue pets from animal control facilities, especially ones that use the gas chamber for
euthanasia. We are a no-kill animal rescue and we physically pull animals on their last day
of life at animal control so that they may find a true second chance within our adoption
program.
We are a 501c Corporation and our mission is one of compassion for the homeless and
rehabilitation for the physically and mentally abused. Our goals are to promote spay/neuter,
stop the use of gas chambers to kill our homeless pets, and to educate people on how to
treat all animals with respect and dignity.
Adoption Fees
Dogs  $175.00

pets of age are spayed/neutered. All pets have current vaccines and microchip.
