Hope For Life Rescue
"Every face here represents a life cared for by Hope For Life Rescue, some still waiting, some already home, all deeply loved."
Hope For Life Rescue is 501(c)3 non-profit, animal rescue located in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
We focus on rescuing abandoned, injured, abused, and neglected dogs and cats, many of whom are at high risk of euthanasia in open-intake shelters. While we do not typically accept owner surrendered pets,
our mission is to save those who need us most.
While our organization remains a small, hand-on team, our impact has grown over the past several years. We now take in an average of 1,200 animals annually and spend roughly $450,000 each year on veterinary care alone, doing everything possible to ensure our animals reach their best level of health
Because we are a rescue and not a shelter, we are able to focus our efforts where they're needed most. We don't euthanize for space or time, and because of our mission, we often focus on animals with serious medical needs who might not survive elsewhere.
Despite the risks that come with this kind of rescue work, we proudly maintain a 96% - 98% save rate.
