Homes for Orphaned Pets Exist (H.O.P.E.)

Firstly, i’d like to say that the animals at H.O.P.E. are very well taken care of with thought in mind, big crates for them as well as free time to roam around the store. I adopted my first cat from here 2 years ago with my Mom, at the age of 18 and had no issues. Today I came in, without my mother. Before entering I was stereotyped due to my age, and the lady there seemed reluctant to even let me in to look at the kitties, going on to say, understandably so, how people my age that adopt don’t always have the ability to properly care for their cats long term whether that be unstable income, splitting up with their partner, getting kicked out of the house/apartment, etc. I think everybody can see the validity in this. However I think every adult reading this should know it’s not proper to

We adopted Suzie (formally Lily) from HOPE. They did vet references and everything. You can tell they truly care about where the animals are going. My only complaint would be you picked a cat and they told us to go take a little walk to make sure he was the one we wanted. We were gone five minutes and someone else was already adopting him. However, I feel like it was meant to be because Suzie fit right into our little family. A few months after we got her, we were given a six week old husky pit mix and now even with a 50 pound weight difference they are best friends and cuddle on the couch together. Their adoption center at the mall was clean. They tried to match the potential adopters to the animal and were super friendly. I love that you have to sign a contract That the cat must be an in

We tried applying for a cat adoption and were denied. Favorable review from our vet, a happy healthy, pet friendly home AND we volunteered for many years for H.O.P.E. Fostering cats & dogs, working at adoption clinics, vetting folks for adoptions, Santa pics with Pets fundraisers, you name it. We helped H.O.P.E. when it was in its infancy, many moons ago. And now, with new leadership, we get a denial, no explanation and no one will even get back to us. Sad to see what this organization has become from where it started.

I can't understand why these loving amazing people don't have a five star rating always. My last two cats are from HOPE and they did everything possible to make my adoptions fast and easy. They gave me helpful hints, feeding preferences, ideas about what cat needed to be alone, etc. My life has been enriched by all my interactions with each and every one of them. Thank you isn't enough. Twenty ✨ is a start.

Got my girl Nessie from them, they were the only place willing to work with me on finding a good companion for my dog. The other shelter literally told me to take a cat home and "try it out", said I would be able to return it if I didn't like. I couldn't believe how callous they were, like we were talking about a pair of jeans rather then a member of the family! Finding the right fit has made all the difference and while there's still work to be done, I'm proud of how well they're doing. I highly recommend checking them out of you're looking for a new friend. Thank you Hope!
