About the Human Rescue Alliance
For more than 150 years, the Humane Rescue Alliance has protected animals, supported families and driven change to help all animals thrive.
With campuses in D.C. and New Jersey, they’re the region’s largest animal services provider, helping tens of thousands of animals each year through rescue, care and community programs. They’re reimagining sheltering and building a national network to support vulnerable animals and the people who love them.
Their disaster response team—the largest on the East Coast—deploys at a moment’s notice. Their WayStation program, the nation’s leading pet transport network, has moved more than 20,000 animals to safety through 90+ shelter partners. And through their Give Back program, they’ve reinvested over $550,000 into source shelters to help address pet overpopulation at its roots.
