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. The broad range of programs offered include: rescue and adoption, humane law enforcement, low-cost veterinary services, animal care and control, behavior and training, spay-neuter services, humane education, and many others.

HRA is based in Washington, DC, the only major urban area in the country that has all of its animal protection programs and services unified in one organization, making the Humane Rescue Alliance a model for the nation.

Oh hello! My name is Russet and I am a older dog looking for a calm and easy going home. As you can see from my picture, I LOVE to eat! I've been told I am a bit on the hefty side and am currently on a diet (NOOOOOOO!) to try to slim down a bit. I came to WHS/WARL when some nice lady brought me to shelter after finding me hanging out downtown. I am a pretty easy going dude and would rather snuggle up with my new family than go on a long hike. That sounds exhausting! I wouldn't mind having a brother or sister, as long as they let me do my own thing. I am a wise old man and would love to find a special family to call my own. I'm only 7, so I still have a long life to live and would love to spend it with YOU! Please email my foster momma to meet me - ayoung@washhumane.org To learn more about Russet, click HERE!

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!

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! To learn more about Buzz Lightyear, click HERE:

I want to tell you about a special friend of mine. Her name is Sazzy. Since the summer of 2015, Sazzy has been living with her foster mom, Lisa LaFontaine, CEO and President at Washington Humane Society-Washington Animal Rescue League. She's had a horrendous start in life, and is now raising money to help other animals Please read Sazzy’s story, told by her foster mom: My pretty little lady came into our lives about a year ago, when we took her home in the summer of 2015 to provide foster care. Sazzy had was covered with infected puncture wounds, the result of a dog attack in her former home. Even worse, her jaw was shattered, most likely from being kicked in the face. Although we tried many medical interventions, ultimately she lost a good portion of her mandible. That didn't stop her; in fact, we decided to adopt her the day we took her home from Friendship Hospital for Animals, because she kissed every person on her way out of the lobby. Who wouldn't want to have such spirit in their lives on a daily basis! Over the past year we've learned a lot about each other. She is my sidekick and comes to work with me at WHS/WARL on most days that I am based in an office. Sazzy graduated from eating hand-fed meatballs to doing everything a fully-mouthed dog can do. She gives sideways kisses, and she is a sloppy eater, but none of that matters because she exudes love and joy and curiosity. We are raising money this year to give back to other animals who, like her, had a rough start - but carry sunshine in their souls. When I have a rough day Sazzy fills my heart with joy and inspires me to go out and do all I can to help other animals. Any gift you can give would be appreciated! People say that Sazzy is lucky to have found us and while that is true, I see us as the lucky ones. I have infinitely more smiles and laughs than I had before she came into my life. She brings more love into our home. What more can you ask for when you adopt! Sazzy is grateful for every new day, and I will be grateful for any gift you can give to honor my sweet, special girl. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Lisa (and Sazzy)

D.C. animal welfare groups merge to better serve the community In February, animal control officers in Washington, D.C., visited a home that had more than 20 dogs—from adults to newborns to 3-month-old puppies—who had all been exposed to parvo. The officers brought them to an animal welfare organization’s veterinary clinic in Northeast D.C. It wasn’t an unusual protocol, but this time, the process moved exceptionally quickly. Officers didn’t have to wait and figure out if the clinic could take the animals. They brought them right in, and staff were treating the dogs within 45 minutes.

Washington, DC — Friday, August 26th is National Dog Day and the Washington Humane Society-Washington Animal Rescue League (WHS-WARL) is encouraging everyone to celebrate Man’s Best Friend. WHAT: National Dog Day! WHEN: Friday, August 26th
WHERE: Throughout the United States, dog lovers will be celebrating National Dog Day. Here, in our Nation’s Capital, we have three great ways for people to celebrate:
Adopt! WHS-WARL has great dogs available for adoption at two convenient adoption centers:
Washington Animal Rescue League 71 Oglethorpe Street, NW Washington, DC
All animals available for adoption at WHS-WARL have been spayed/neutered, microchipped and are up to date on vaccinations.
Donate toys, blankets, towels or pet food! WHS-WARL accepts donations of toys, blankets and towels for our shelter animals. In addition, you can donate unopened pet food for use in our Pet Food Bank for families that may need assistance feeding their pets. Donations are accepted at both of our adoption centers
Spend some quality time with your dog! National Dog Day is a great day to spoil your dog with extra attention and affection, a healthy treat, a new pet toy and some quality play time.
Senior dogs available for adoption As an animal advocate/lover, there is a special spot in my heart for senior animals. They are the ones that are over-looked at adoption events. Most people want a puppy, and have no idea what great love senior animals can bring into their lives.
I want to spotlight three senior dogs, Marzipan, Bailey and BB, who are looking for loving homes to spend their senior years. If you have room in your home and in your heart, please consider adopting either, Marzipan, Bailey or BB, or any of the other animals available at the Washington Humane Society-Washington Rescue League! Marzipan Animal ID: 33080511 Species: Dog Age: 10 years 24 days Sex: Female Color: Tan/White Declawed: No SiteOglethorpe Street Hey there! I'm Marzipan and I'm just as sweet as my name would suggest. I lived with the same family for over 9 years, but they couldn't take care of me anymore, so I ended up here at the shelter. That's OK though! I'm really enjoying all the walks and attention that I'm getting here while I wait for my forever home. I have previously lived in a home with small children and other dogs, so I may be a good dog for a family that's looking to add to their home. At 10 years old, I'm well past all the puppy nonsense, and while I still have a lot of life left to give, I'm definitely more of a mellow companion than a running buddy. I do really like going on walks and getting out of the house, but I don't need the kind of exercise that a younger dog would require. I can't hear very well, but don't worry - I have quite a talented nose, and if I smell some cheese in your hand I will pay very close attention to you, I swear. If you think I could be a good fit for your family, please come see me! I'd love to go to my new home soon! To learn more about Marzipan, clickHERE!
BB
Animal ID: 16174059 Species: Dog Age: 8 years 3 months 14 days Sex: Male Color: Brown/White Declawed: No Site: Washington Humane Society-Washington Animal Rescue League Hi, I'm BB! I recently lost my home because of hard times after being with them for 8 years, but I'm trying to not let it get me down! Right now I'm staying with a nice family, who keep telling me that I'm a good boy and are taking care of me. My foster mom even told me I'm one of the easiest fosters she's ever had. Since I'm a bit older, I know my manners and am well behaved- no chewing shoes or peeing in the house from me! I mostly spend my days napping or keeping an eye out the window for everyone to come home; I would love a home where I can snooze on a big fluffy bed next to my humans. I get along with other pups too, right now I have a foster sister who I get along with great! If you're interested in learning more about me or would like to meet me, email my foster mom at jacqueline.baudouin@gmail.com To learn more about BB, clickHERE!
Bailey
Animal ID: 31103508 Species: Dog Age: 9 years 6 months 1 day Sex: Male Color: White/Brown Declawed: No Site: Washington Humane Society-Washington Animal Rescue League *** I am in foster care!!! If you would like to meet with me please contact my foster parent at Yeager.kathryn@gmail.com*** Bailey is a 9 year old Shepherd mix, he was a wonderful family dog for 9 years, before circumstances changed and they were no longer able to keep him. He loves other dogs, and would be most successful in a home where he can have another canine companion. He does have a prey drive, so he needs a home without small animals (cats). He's been good with kids and doing well with his training manners. He just loves to be outside and lay in the sun. If you would like to meet Bailey, come visit him at Oglethorpe shelter today!
