HUGS FOR HARRY


  • Mission

    Hugs for Harry is a newly established 501(c)(3)dog rescue in the East Bay dedicated to providing safe haven and loving homes for senior, special needs, and at-risk dogs. We are entirely volunteer-driven and rely on the kindness of our community to fulfill our mission.

    About Us

    Open Your Heart and Hands: Volunteer with Hugs For Harry and Save a Life

    Imagine the silent heartbreak within our county shelters, where dedicated staff are overwhelmed by the sheer number of abandoned dogs arriving daily. To create desperately needed space, these shelters are forced to make the devastating choice of euthanizing adoptable animals - a tragic reality hidden from public view.

    Hugs For Harry was born from a desire to combat this crisis. We are a small, passionate non-profit organization committed to rescuing as many dogs as we can responsibly care for, with a particular focus on senior and special-needs dogs who often face the greatest challenges in finding forever homes. We believe that every dog, regardless of age or medical condition, deserves love, comfort, and a chance at a happy life. We never turn a dog away.

    We are seeking compassionate, kind, and enthusiastic volunteers who have time to contribute their skills and energy. If you are looking for a meaningful way to make a real difference in the lives of vulnerable animals, we need you!
