H.O.P.E. (Help Orphaned Pets through Education) Safehouse, Inc. is a non-profit, all volunteer animal care organization, a ‘safehouse’ dedicated to the care and re-socialization of lost, injured, neglected, and abandoned pets. Through education and example, we extend the qualities of safety, shelter and compassion to all animals under our care, in our homes, on the streets and in the wild. We offer them HOPE.
We still have quite a ways to go in raising money for the our shelter. Won’t you please help? We gladly accept donations in any amount. If interested in making a donation to our building fund, please send your check or money order to: H.O.P.E. Safehouse, 1911 Taylor Avenue, Racine, WI 53403. Please note in the memo section that the donation is for the "new building fund."
