Who we are

New Hope Animal Rescue, NFP is an accredited 501c3, focused on Animal Rescue Through Fostering and Adoption

We are a fully accredited 501c3 nonprofit organization, created to help save the lives of dogs and cats who are at risk of euthanasia. We save the discarded, the lost and the unwanted and we can't do it without your help!

We are not a shelter. All of our rescues are cared for by fosters and volunteers. We provide them with the medical care they need so they can find their forever homes.

Coffee. Rescue. Repeat! Nespresso fuels many of us working around the clock to save lives at New Hope, including some of our veterinary partners! Adoptable Pie Pie reached for the Costa Rican to play with today! Don't worry, it's an empty box, but it got us thinking - Hey Nespresso, do you love animals!? Because we love your coffee and are interested in a partnership! Adoption events at the Domain? Nespresso donated for our volunteers or to help us raise money? Donations for our dogs and cats!? We have lots of fun footage we can share . #AdoptPiePie who finds the simple pelasures in life, even in an empty box of Nespresso! An empty box of #nesspressovertuo #nespresso can be a sad sad thing until a rescue dog turns it into a happy toy! Don't worry, foster mom ripped open a new box and brewed another cup. And don't tell anyone she was recording this while taking a conference call. @nespresso@nespressopresentsvertuocof6211

Professor Peter van Nostrand has an important public service announcement for anyone who hasn't felt like they have not WON in life lately! The Professor was an "underdog" at a public shelter due to his fearful behavior. Thankfully our shelter partner alerted us of his immediate risk and we were able to save him. Watch the Professor's PSA if you can use a smile today or a hug from him this weekend!

This Video Is rated Paw-G 13 for Cuteness Overload by the Pawesome Picture Association of America: Viewing it May Create a Sudden Urge to Audibly utter "Awwww" and Fill Out an Adoption Application. Viewer Discretion is Advised.
