HHSAR.

We are a 501C3 non-profit licensed foster based animal rescue located in Peoria, Illinois.

At HHSAR we focus on the animals who are often overlooked and forgotten, primarily small animals. These animals are quite often obtained by people who incorrectly think that they are easy to care for and then learn that they have needs just like dogs and cats. We are here for those animals to help them on their journey to finding the love and care they deserve. 

Our goal is to help all animals that we have the means to help, while doing our best to minimize our environmental impact. We also strive to operate with a loving and caring vegan mindset.

Our Impact: Environmental

Our goal is to help all animals that we have the means to help, while doing our best to minimize our environmental impact. Most rescues use a large cargo van, but we use an electric car for animal transport whenever possible, and the most efficient vehicle we can get by with when it does not suffice. The litter we use is earth friendly and rather than adding it to the landfill we offer it to gardeners for fertilizer. We also use online digital forms for adoption and sponsorship to reduce paper waste. And recycling is priority as well, so we gladly take donations of old towels and blankets to keep our rescue animals comfortable.
