About Us
Mission Statement
OHAR- Open Hands Animal Rescue
Unlike shelters OHAR - Open Hands Animal Rescue is a foster based rescue. We take in animals during crisis such as: owner is in the hospital, domestic violence cases, medically needy cases (paralyzed dogs), owner foreclosed on etc. We assist with the community by providing vet care and food when we are able. This year alone we've already helped with 3 emergency surgeries.
We also assist in getting ESA dogs paired up with military, LEO, FD, and support. We do work with some service dog trainers as well. Just let us know! Just to name a few, We currently have 20 puppies, 15 dogs up for adoption, 10 dogs in permanent foster for medical reasons, not for adoption - 3 horses, tortoises, rabbits, chickens, and hogs that we've saved.
