Hunter Animal Rescue (HAR) is a not-for-profit organisation run by volunteers who dedicate their time to finding new homes for abandoned pets facing euthanasia. All animals are kept in foster carer homes where they experience a good quality of life and the carers get a good idea of a dog or cat’s personality and suitability for different homes. We are completely run by volunteers. This dedicated team spends countless hours working proactively to save the lives of pound animals. We rehome over 700 animals a year. These animals are rescued from pounds and shelters across the Hunter and beyond. We practice and advocate mandatory de-sexing to help combat the problem of overpopulation of companion animals. We encourage responsible pet ownership. Hunter Animal Rescue hosts and participates in numerous community events.
