HALO Pet Philosophy

HALO believes in the unique individuality of every dog/cat we rescue. Their gentle hearts, good health and "forever" happiness are our top concern. Placing them into a home and family who will love them unto their last breath is our mission.

Adopting and loving a pet is a commitment you make no matter what difficult times lay ahead. From your pet's behavioral problems to your own lifestyle changes along the road, you have taken this pet as a member of your family for life, not merely when convenient.

Pets are NOT disposable! They are living, feeling beings whose spirits possess a full range of emotions including, love, fear and loss. Every day, we see the results of human cruelty, neglect, abandonment and thoughtlessness. These sensitive companions often come to us desperate to love and be loved but hesitant to trust a human again. We think they deserve better.

HALO seeks adoptive families who understand the degree of this commitment and who will shower unconditional love upon these lucky few who have been rescued from death for a second chance at life. There is an ancient tradition in some cultures that states once you save a life, you become responsible for it to the end. When you adopt a rescued pet from HALO, you have saved that life. How you nurture, protect and treasure that life is a measure of your character, heart and soul.

You will not find a truer friend, one more glad of your presence, one more appreciative of your affections, one who adores you more with a completely honest heart, one who seeks to protect you more or one with a more unflinching sense of humor. They give back far more than you can ever give them. But give you should, to their final moment upon this earth.

Help us stop the slaughter of the innocent! Don't just adopt. Adopt forever. That's how you can make a difference not just for the one you take into your heart, but for all of them.
