Mission Statement
Our mission is to assist and support animal companion rescuers who strive to help animals who are currently in poor situations, through education, foster care when necessary, and permanent placement in homes where they will receive love, good nutrition, and good living conditions.
Our priorities are threefold. Our top priority is to support each other in the work we do. Our second priority is to help people with their animal companions through education. And our third, and most important priority is to help animals currently in limbo find their human partners. We love and honor every living creature and strive to find the perfect homes for our foster "children."
Description
The Rescue Alliance of Hairless and Other Breeds, Inc. is a non-profit nationwide coalition of independent rescuers and rescue agencies who have come together to help each other help our animal companions. Due to their special needs, we specialize in hairless breeds, but will never turn anyone away as long as we have room in our homes for anyone whether furred, scaled, or feathered.
Our rescues are sheltered in private foster homes and treated as part of the family. There they receive love, good nutrition, veterinary care, socialization, and lots of attention. Many come from puppy mills, kill shelters, deplorable conditions, and abusive situations with a lot of emotional baggage. Their emotional issues are addressed and many of our rescues undergo rehabilitation while living in the foster home. Some have never been housebroken, and that is another goal of foster care. Some have special needs that require ongoing medical treatment. Some are older, hearing or sight impaired. It is our quest to help these animals through education, fostering, rehabilitation, and placement of those animals into loving, permanent homes.
In an effort to help to control the unwanted animal population, we strongly support spaying and neutering.
