A Hope

Affordable Vet Access Program: Every 2 weeks A HOPE transports by van a minimum of 50 cats and dogs belonging to the public to the nearest low cost spay neuter veterinary clinic 120 miles from its location in Milton FL. In 2022 a total of 1,169 cats and 117 dogs were transported to be spay neutered vaccinated and micro chipped at a very low cost to the public.

Community Outreach Program: A HOPE's community outreach is made primarily through two initiatives that assist low income families in providing no charge food and other basic supplies for their pets. In 2022 the Pet Food Pantry program provided 169 households with 3,157 pounds of dry food and 324 cans of wet food to feed 229 dogs and 1,394 pounds of dry food and 1,733 cans of wet food for 262 cats. This assistance provided the means for these families to keep their pets at home instead of placing them in shelters because of a lack of the financial resources to adequately feed them. Our Bowl Fillers program provides food treats and litter to live-in senior owners unable obtain food for their pets on their own. Each month A HOPE volunteers recruit a different sponsoring organization from the area to donate the items for this program. In 2022 Bowl Fillers provided 525 pounds of food to feed 21 dogs and 767 pounds of food to feed 110 cats in 50 households.

Rescue Program: The primary purpose of A HOPE's rescue program is to take in cats and kittens with medical problems provide them with care often lifesaving place them in our volunteer foster homes for convalescence and social development to ultimately adopted into permanent homes. In 2022 A HOPE pulled 336 animals from local shelters other rescue operations and the public. 290 were cats and kittens of which 254 were adopted and 22 returned to their owners.
