January 29th, 2009. We are happy to announce that we are expanding. As of today, we are welcoming in HHAR, NJ division. Soon we will have HHAR, IN division up and running as well. Until we build our facility we have placed everyone with foster homes. If you would like to become a HHAR foster please email us at lilfurryanimals@yahoo.com.
Who We Are
We are a smaller rescue group that focuses on animals in desperate situations. We rescue dogs and cats from shelter where they have no room and euthanaize due to space. All of our animals we rescue are full vetted and fixed. They are all great animals very deserving of great homes. Our rescue was created through the desire to save more lives that all our members have. We all have a passion to save animals as well as a commitment to ensure great futures for all our animals we rescue.
Adopting a friend
Adoption Process:
Step 1: Fill out an application on the animal you are interested in.
Step 2: Home visit once step one is completed.
Once both the application and home visit are approved then the adoption takes place. There is an adoption fee, which is different for each animal. There is also an adoption contract that must be signed for the adoption to finalize.
This process ensures that all our animals find the homes they have waited their whole lives for...
If you are interested in adopting one of our furbabies please email lilfurryanimals@yahoo.com for an application to fill out. Under normal circumstances we will get back in touch with you about your application within 24 hours. All animals adopted from us are fully vetted and have been tested with other animals for aggression.
The animals listed on our website are all in foster homes. They are all scattered between KY, IN, and NJ. Transportation is available for all of our furbabies, so just because you are not in the state the animal is fostered in, don't let that stop you from applying.
YOU CAN HELP!!!
ADOPTING—For pets near you, check out: www.petfinder.com or www.adoptapet.com or www.dogsindanger.com
Don’t buy while others die. You’re new best friend is closer than you realize.
FOSTERING—You can take a dog or cat into your home for a period of time (1 week to a few months). You take care of them and give them the extra time they need until they find a home of their own. Many animals are very adoptable but are in high-kill shelters where they only have 3 days to find a home. Most just need more time to find their new family. This is a very rewarding experience to know YOU were the reason they are alive.
TRANSPORTING—These volunteer “legs” (usually 45 minutes to 1½ hour each way) are the difference between life and death for most animals. Many shelters down south put to sleep 250 dogs per week. It’s unbelievable, but it’s true. Many rescues up north have the room and can rescue these dogs; it’s just a matter of getting people/families to volunteer to drive a leg. Each leg varies according to area, availability of transporters, and rescues. How it works is a coordinator sets up a run sheet that they send out with a route on it, people volunteer for the leg in their area that best fits into their schedule or their hearts.
PULLING DOGS—In many cases, there are animals that have a rescue to go to, but no one to pull them out of the shelter. In this case we look for local volunteers close to the shelter to take the drive down and pull the dog/cat from the high kill shelter and bring him/her to a kennel before transport. If you would like to have your name on the register to do this if we need local pull help in your area email: lilfurryanimals@yahoo.com.
SUPPLY DRIVE—We collect old blankets, towels, sheets; small, medium & large dog collars, leashes; carriers/crates; dog food; dog beds; and monetary donations for vet bills (spay/neuter).
FUNDRAISING—We are always looking for people to help with events and even plan them.
Thousands of animals are saved each month by a network of rescuers who work together.
Please join us and help make a HUGE difference!

Because our rescue/halfway house is ran from our home we do require that you call and make an appointment before meeting the animals. If you would like more information on one of our babies before coming out feel free to call us anytime.
