Our Work

When Friends of HSI and our global affiliates rescue animals from situations of cruelty and neglect, our work has just begun. Many of the animals have spent years in tiny, barren cages, denied the most basic of their needs. Some have never stood on solid ground before, eaten proper food, or been shown any kindness. With love, patience and incredible determination, our dedicated emergency shelter team helps these dogs to recover and learn to trust again so they can be adopted into forever homes.
