Celebrating One Year as the Humane Rescue Alliance


This week marks the one-year anniversary of our new name, the Humane Rescue Alliance. One year ago we launched a new identity focused on animals, people, and community, building on two hundred and fifty years of combined experience from the Washington Humane Society and Washington Animal Rescue League. We’ve remained committed not only to protecting and advocating for the animals in our community, but also to supporting and celebrating people’s love and compassion for them.

What makes our brand truly special, is the unmatched dedication, professionalism, and passion of our staff, volunteers, and generous supporters. Without you, this work would not be possible. And although we have officially been a single entity since February 2016, October marks our first 12 months as the Humane Rescue Alliance. We’re celebrating by looking back at some of our favorite stories from our first week as HRA.

CANCELLATION: Humane Rescue Alliance Celebrates National Cat Day with Reduced Adoption Fees for Cats this Weekend! Saturday, October 29th and Sunday, October 30th


The cat/kitten adoption event scheduled for tomorrow and Sunday, has been cancelled at the Humane Rescue Alliance’s two locations.

Due to several confirmed cases of Feline panleukopenia virus, we are temporarily suspending cat adoptions at both adoption centers.

“Out of an abundance of caution, we are taking steps to contain potential exposure to panleukopenia in our shelters,” said Dr. Elysia Branson, DVM, Humane Rescue Alliance veterinarian. “These precautions include suspending adoptions temporarily and quarantining our cat population. This is a dangerous disease for cats, especially those who are very young, and we want to make every effort to contain the virus. Panleukopenia is something that we—and most animal shelters—have experience with and our team is taking every precaution to keep our animals safe.”

Learn more about panleukopenia and the importance of proper immunization: www.humanerescuealliance.org/panleukopenia-faq


I will keep you updated on the next event.

This event has been cancelled:  Humane Rescue Alliance Celebrates National Cat Day with Reduced Adoption Fees for Cats this Weekend! Saturday, October 29th and Sunday, October 30th

My model, is Theodore, an adorable senior looking for a loving home. He is currently in foster care.


Theodore
Animal ID: 25208218 
Species: Cat 
Age: 9 years 1 month 5 days 
Sex: Male 
Color: Grey/White 
Declawed: No 
Site: Humane Rescue Alliance 

Theodore is the biggest lover you could ever meet! Although he has been diagnosed with kitty kidney failure (say that 5 times fast), he is all snuggles and cuddles and just likes to be near his human. As a newly senior gentleman at just 9 years old, he has plenty of love to still give and life to live! The advantages of being in the senior club is that he doesn't mess around with tearing things up or running around anymore - just needs a comfy blanket and a lap to snuggle with. He absolutely loves tummy rubs and has a purr machine that never quits! To learn more about Theodore and his diagnosis, please contact his foster mom at Fortner.laura@gmail.com or check out his Instagram @whs_theodore.

Rose
Animal ID: 32224012 
Species: Cat 
Age: 2 years 3 months 7 days 
Sex: Female 
Color: White 
Declawed: No 
Site: Oglethorpe Street

Hi there! I'm Rose! I am a 2 year old, short haired female. I came to WHS/WARL when my owner became overwhelmed with the number of cats living in her home. I shared a house with over FIFTY other cats previously, so I'm used to having feline friends. However, since my last owner had so many cats, it was difficult for her to spend time with all of us, so I'm still working on getting used to being petted and held. I'm shy in new situations and will need a patient owner that is willing to take some time earning my trust. Once I open up, I'm a very sweet cat, but new environments and noises easily startle me, so I would love to go to a quiet home where I can settle in slowly. Do you have a loving heart and room for another cat in your life? Come visit with me at Oglethorpe and see if I'd be a good match for you.

Mattie
Animal ID: 33066823 
Species: Cat 
Age: 8 months 27 days 
Sex: Female 
Color: Black 
Declawed: No 
Site: Oglethorpe Street 

Who says black cats are bad luck?! Harrumph! Well I'm Mattie, and I'd like to think that I'm somewhat of a good luck charm. I was found with a leg injury a few weeks back and luckily enough I ended up here safely at WHS/WARL! Now I'm looking for a new home. I am pretty shy since I'm still new to the shelter, so please go slow with me. I'd like to be friends, but if you pet me too quickly, I tend to get startled. If you're willing to be a little patient with you, I think we could be buddies in no time. Sound good? Get down here and meet me! I'd love to go home soon!

Mourek
Animal ID: 33741237 
Species: Cat 
Age: 2 years 9 months 22 days 
Sex: Male 
Color: Grey 
Declawed : No 
Site: Humane Rescue Alliance 

Mourek here! I'm sorry to say that I've bounced around quite a bit in my life. I originally was adopted out from a shelter in Virginia, but was recently brought here to the Humane Rescue Alliance when my previous owner could no longer care for me. I was previously living with a large family that included children and 2 other cats, and I just don't think that was a good fit for me. I think I would prefer to go to a quieter home. Maybe a family that doesn't have young children or other cats? I'm a very friendly, sociable guy, but it's easy to get overwhelmed in a chaotic household, so I'd like some peace for once. If that sounds like your home, maybe I'd be a good fit for you! Stop by the shelter and see me! To learn more about Mourek, click HERE!





Moorey
Animal ID: 33749583 
Species: Cat 
Age: 5 years 6 months 6 days 
Sex: Male 
Color: Orange 
Declawed: No 
Site:Humane Rescue Alliance

If you're a fan of large, long-haired cats, you MUST come in and meet me! I'm Moorey! Just one look at my picture and it's not hard to tell that I'm incredibly handsome. I was a much-beloved pet but my previous owner could no longer afford to take care of me and decided that it was best that I find another home. It's really sad, because I know they cared about me a lot, but I need to find a home that has the resources to care for me the way that I deserve. I'm really looking forward to going to my new home soon, so I'd love it if you would come in to meet me! Or if you have friends that are interested in adopting, share my story!To learn more about Moorey, click HERE!

Historic News from Lisa LaFontaine, President and CEO, Humane Rescue Alliance to Supporters















Dear Friends,

It is with great pride and excitement that I write to you today.

Six months ago, the Washington Humane Society and the Washington Animal Rescue League began our historic journey together, merging into one organization to become the driving force in animal welfare, providing care and protection for more than 60,000 animals each year. Our two 100-year-old organizations began combined operations in February and have continued a very smooth operational transition since that time.

Monday, in an historic announcement, the Washington Humane Society and the Washington Animal Rescue League combined organization became the Humane Rescue Alliance.



The name Humane Rescue Alliance is the culmination of a six month process of thoughtful and diligent work to discover and determine our brand and to define our identity as an organization.

We believe the name Humane Rescue Alliance honors the two predecessor organizations by using the strongest word from each legacy name and represents the strength of the new organization as a bridge from our past to the future. 

With the Humane Rescue Alliance serving the animals and people of the nation’s capital, we now become a model for other animal welfare organizations and municipalities around the country. With the Humane Rescue Alliance serving the animals of the national capital region, Washington, DC, becomes the only major urban area in the country that has all of its animal protection programs and services - from medical services and adoptions to animal control and humane law enforcement - unified in one organization.

As a supporter of our organization, I want you to know that we will continue to tenaciously protect and advocate for the animals in our community and support and celebrate people’s love and compassion for them. On behalf of our Board, staff and volunteers, I thank you for your support of our mission. We look forward to an exciting future, as we will constantly evolve - striving to excel at bringing new ideas forward that improve the lives of the animals and communities we work with.
Sincerely,






Lisa LaFontaine
President and CEO

Washington, DC - Becomes the Only Major Urban Area in the Country with All Animal Protection Programs and Services Unified in One Organization: Humane Rescue Alliance (HRA)


We Are Humane Rescue Alliance! Washington Humane Society-Washington Animal Rescue League – Renamed in Historic Moment in Animal Welfare for Washington, DC

The Nation’s Capital becomes the only major urban area in the country with all animal protection programs and services unified in one organization.

For the first time in more than 145 years, Washington, DC’s animal welfare organizations will serve the nation’s capital under a new name: Humane Rescue Alliance.  The new name was unveiled Monday, October 24, at an event at the organization’s Oglethorpe Street location in Washington, DC.

The new name is the culmination of the merger between the Washington Humane Society and Washington Animal Rescue League, which combined operations in February.

“Over the past several months we have been engaged in a methodical and thoughtful process, developing a new name and brand,” said Lisa LaFontaine, President and CEO of the Humane Rescue Alliance.  “We believe the name Humane Rescue Alliance honors the two predecessor organizations by using the strongest word from each legacy name and represents the strength of the new organization as a bridge from our past to the future.”

With the Humane Rescue Alliance serving the animals and people of the nation’s capital, Washington, DC, becomes the only major urban area in the country that has all of its animal protection programs and services—from medical services and adoptions to animal control and humane law enforcement—unified in one organization. The Humane Rescue Alliance, which serves more than 60,000 animals each year, has now become a model for other animal welfare organizations and municipalities around the country.  In the months since the combination was announced, animal welfare organizations across the country have reached out for advice on how to more effectively collaborate with partners and serve their own communities.

“We’re combining our proficiency and knowledge in all aspects of animal care, from providing quality, affordable medical services to creating families with each adoption,” continued LaFontaine.  “Most importantly, we will continue to tenaciously protect and advocate for the animals in our community and support and celebrate people’s love and compassion for them.”

The new Humane Rescue Alliance brand was developed by the Washington, DC office of Ogilvy Public Relations, who provided their services pro bono and led the organization through a six month process of brand discovery, definition and expression.

The Humane Rescue Alliance operates two animal care and adoption centers in Washington, DC: one on Oglethorpe Street in Northwest and another on New York Avenue in Northeast. The Humane Rescue Alliance provides a comprehensive set of animal care and protection programs that touch the lives of animals and the people who love them, including:

  • Rescue and Adoption – With a 90 percent save rate for animals, Humane Rescue Alliance has built a nationally recognized program for effective rescue and adoption.  The Humane Rescue Alliance also transports and places adoptable animals from overcrowded shelters and from rescue operations outside the region.
  • Humane Law Enforcement – Under its 145-year-old congressional charter, the Humane Rescue Alliance serves as DC’s “animal cops,” protecting the District’s animals from cruelty and harm.
  • Low-Cost Veterinary Services – The Humane Rescue Alliance’s full-service medical center provides veterinary care to all families, regardless of their ability to pay.
  • Animal Control – The Humane Rescue Alliance serves as the District of Columbia’s animal control agency, responding to nearly 1,500 calls per month for animal emergencies ranging from lost and injured companion animals to injured wildlife.
  • Behavior and Learning – The Humane Rescue Alliance offers a wide range of education programs and training classes for pet owners to strengthen their bond with their pets and address common animal behavior issues.
  • Spay/Neuter Services – The Humane Rescue Alliance runs the region’s only high-volume, low-cost spay and neuter center, helping address the root cause of pet overpopulation.
  • Help Out, Partner, and Educate (HOPE) – The HOPE program is our community-based initiative, providing people in traditionally underserved areas of DC with a variety of free pet services, such as spay/neuter surgeries, vaccinations, food, and supplies at periodic community events. This program provides a critical lifeline that helps keep thousands of pets in loving homes – and out of shelters.
  • Other Programs – Humane Rescue Alliance also offers programs ranging from education programs in DC schools to a “Safe Haven” program for the pets of victims of domestic violence and a pet food bank for families facing difficult financial times

 About the Humane Rescue Alliance: 
The Humane Rescue Alliance (formerly the Washington Humane Society-Washington Animal Rescue League) has protected and served the people of the community for more than 145 years and serves more than 60,000 animals annually.

Celebrate National Adopt-A-Shelter-Dog Month at the Washington Humane Society-Washington Animal Rescue League


Washington Humane Society-Washington Animal Rescue League’s top five reasons to adopt a shelter dog:


1.    There are GREAT dogs at our adoptions centers
We have wonderful dogs available for adoption, all shapes, sizes, and breed mixes.  The dogs you find at our adoptions centers are simply unlucky.  Usually, for circumstances beyond their control, they have found their way to our shelters and are simply looking for a new home. 

2.    Adopting a Dog from us is cost effective!
When you adopt a dog from the Washington Humane Society-Washington Animal Rescue League, they will have already been spayed/neutered, received any needed vaccinations and will have been microchipped – all for the low price of an adoption.  Our adoption fees for dogs range from $250 for puppies (under six months), $200 for young dogs (six months – six years), $100 for “middle aged” dogs (seven years – nine years) and $50 for a dog 10 years or older.

3.    It’s Cool to Adopt
Take it from us, it’s a great feeling to proudly state:  “I Adopted a Shelter Dog.” 

4.    It’s Easy!!
We do our best to make sure that our potential adopters are matched up with dogs that fit their lifestyle and you must go through our application process.  But it’s not difficult or too time consuming.  We want you to find a companion animal.  Come see us!!!

5.    You Will Save a Dog’s Life
By Adopting a Shelter Dog from one of our adoptions centers, you’ll make room for one more dog to be rescued by our organization.  We transport dogs from shelters throughout the region and also from overcrowded rural shelters.  The more we adopt here in Washington, DC, the more we can save!

About Washington Animal Rescue League/Washington Humane Society (WARL-WHS)
The Washington Humane Society -Washington Animal Rescue League combined organization cares for more than 60,000 animals annually. The broad range of programs offered include: rescue and adoption, humane law enforcement, low-cost veterinary services, animal care & control, behavior and training, spay-neuter services, humane education, and many others.  Operating four animal-care facilities in Washington, D.C., the organization occupies a significant footprint in the District, and serves as a resource to current pet guardians and prospective adopters across the region. 


My handsome model is Buzz Lightyear, he is available for adoption!

Buzz Lightyear here! I'm an active 1 year old that was actually adopted from WHS about a month ago, but my new owner came down with severe dog allergies, so now I'm back! Now I'm hoping to find a new home with people that aren't going to sneeze every time I walk into the room. I get very excited around kids and other dogs and my previous owner said that I played excellently when she took me to the dog park. I have energy to burn, so I will definitely need an owner that is looking for more of a running buddy than a couch potato. I LOVE peanut butter and am very motivated by treats. I'm already learning "sit" and "lie down" and will usually do either for a treat, but I'm still learning. If you think I could be the pup for you, swing on by the shelter to meet me! You won't regret it!
