Helping Animals Live Tomorrow Rescue

 Starting  out  as  a  few  dedicated friends  with a  common  vision of  making a difference for  dogs  in our  community we  formed  Helping Animals Live Tomorrow  Rescue (H.A.L.T.)   That was  in 2008  and every  year  since  we have  saved and  rehomed over 100 dogs. To  some  that  may  be  a small  contribution  but  to the lives  of  the dogs  we  rescued  it is  monumental. Rescue is vital!  It  steps in when hope  is  gone. We  are  there  for the last chance dogs  and the families  who  have  exhausted  all options  and  are giving up.  Take a minute to look at one of our 2020 success stories. It is the story of Maribel. She was found in the middle of nowhere and was suffering from the worst skin condition we ever witnessed. Today, 100% recovered and looking beautiful. Today Maribel is living happily in her forever home as well as many other dogs  who have crossed our path.

Every dog entering our  program receives  care  and love until  it is  placed with its' adoptive family.  The majority  of  our  dogs are foster based however some of our larger dogs  reside at our  kennel facility with a  full  time caretaker. Our  dogs receive daily socialization,  outings and training.  We  get  to know  our  dogs  very well which  allows  us  to  find  suitable  matches to  an adopter.  Each  dog that enters  a home  is  fully vetted by being  altered, vaccinated  and  microchipped.

We care  about  all dogs  in  our  community  and have  created  Hunter's Fund which provides assistance to pet owners in financial need of  veterinary care in times of emergency.  Visit www.haltrescue.org  to learn  more  about this program.

In September, 2015,  we  opened  a  resale store  to  support our  rescue  and  raise  funds to add  a spay/neuter aspect to our Hunter's Fund Program.   RAGS to RESCUE  is located  at 234 H Street  and is filled with unique and gently used  donated items  for  your  home and self.  The  store  is slightly thrifty, mostly antique-y  and always artsy!   If  you have not  discovered  it  .....  do  add it  to  your  'to-do' list .... you will be  quite surprised  and  please  tell  a friend. Every  purchase made  goes  directly to supporting the dogs in our rescue program.  You  can  stay  current with  the daily finds  by  visiting Rags to Rescue on FaceBook.

 Our  organization  is  100% volunteered  based, We  are supported  through your generosity, adoption fees,  grants  and your  shopping  power at  Rags.  Our adoptable  dogs are listed on Petfinder.com  and  we  are  back  doing  weekly adoption events at Petsmart 5601 Calloway Dr. # 100 every  Saturday  from 12-3pm.

This year, we are seeking your support to help us continue reaching out to our community and tackling pet overpopulation through the proven solution of spay and neuter.

We kicked off 2026 with the launch of our new voucher program, providing spay and neuter vouchers to the public every second Tuesday of the month. These vouchers cover the full cost of surgery, along with vaccinations, microchipping, and pain medication—removing financial barriers for pet owners who want to do the right thing.

We are also committed to strengthening Hunter’s Fund, which helps animals in urgent medical need receive essential veterinary care and a real chance at survival.

Your donation during this campaign will make it possible for us to continue saving dogs and placing them in loving, forever homes.

Who We Are

Helping Animals Live Tomorrow Rescue was established in 2008. It began with a small group of friends with the same large ambition to make a difference in the lives of animals with no homes, no where to go, sitting in shelters waiting for the clock to tick out. Since then we have saved over 100 lives annually by finding homes and bringing happiness to dogs that had become destitute. We have provided medical care to countless pets in need, we have provided shelter for dogs on the streets and we have found companionship for some who thought it could not be found.
We are monthly adoption partners with Petsmart located on Calloway Dr.. We also participate in many special events throughout the community.

Our organization is supported by donations, adoption fees, grant funds and our very own specialized re-sale store called Rags to Rescue.
This store located at 234 H Street is supported by community donations and buying power. It supports the general animal needs of H.A.L.T...
