My Nonprofit Reviews

I've had the opportunity to work with Halfway Home Pet Rescue in a number of ways over the past several years -- from adopter to supporter to Board member. I've watched the organization grow from the founder's home to a new facility that's ideal for caring for and rehoming cats. The team of dedicated volunteers that makes HHPR work demonstrates their compassion for animals through outreach and education programs, spay/neuter campaigns, and more...plus they roll up their sleeves and take on cases of terrible abuse and neglect. They fight for the best interests of cats in the community and aren't afraid to take a stand on behalf of an animal in need. They are tireless in their efforts and command my respect and admiration -- to honor this indomitable spirit, we named one of our adoptees after Norma Milton, the founder of HHPR.

In addition to the wonderful things they do for the Caribou area, HHPR was a fantastic supporter of the Ark Animal Sanctuary in Houlton after a devastating fire destroyed the Ark's new facility. All too often, rescues can be competitive, if not downright cut-throat, when it comes to securing limited finances -- but HHPR immediately shared the news of the fire with their supporters and asked for financial and material donations to help the folks at the Ark. I think this says a tremendous amount about how big the HHPR hearts are...
