Hugs for Homeless Animals is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization incorporated in the state of Oregon. We are a humane education organization who provides support programs that bridge the public with animal caring organizations.

Since our beginnings in 1996, we have worked diligently to help animals who have found themselves homeless or lost. We have acted as an advocate to their well-being. We have educated and prodded humans to do better to understand and care for the animals whom they have the privilege of guardianship. We provide programs to assist the animal welfare industry to fulfill their goals to provide good homes, receive capital funding, and to educate the public in this regard.

What Your Donation Dollars Support

Hugs for Homeless Animals' mission to help homeless and displaced animals is accomplished through two distinct and important divisions:

Public Programs

Our public-oriented programs are presented through our www.h4ha.org website. Some of the programs provided here are our OFTAnet (Outreach for the Animals Network) programs: Lost and Found Pets and Pet Adoption Services; our Worldwide Shelter Directory which provides a public listing of shelters, rescues and sanctuaries for public use, our Snuggles Project which provides not only comfort to the shelter animals but a "bridge of caring" for Snuggles makers and shelters worldwide, our weekly NewsReporter which brings news stories about animals from around the world, and for our members, a members website and free hugsmail.com email account.

Shelter Network Programs

Our shelter network programs presented through our Humane World website. Some of the programs that we provide to the animal caring community is education, resources, community discussion forums and discounted webhosting. We also provide them a secure online donation gateway through Star Donor Charity Solutions.

It is important in our mission to help the animals by not only helping the public to understand the caring and welfare needs of animals but to also help the animal caring community of shelters, rescues, sanctuaries, and rehabilitators to do their work to help the animals. These two divisions encompass our focus and our purpose.
