Mission Statement:
In partnership with small rescues and shelters throughout the state of Virginia, and through the support of our generous and compassionate donors, we are striving to ensure a No-Kill VA by 2025. Realizing that not all rescues and communities have access to needed resources, HASN will bridge the gap by advocating for and providing grant assistance and resources to underserved and impoverished communities and homeless pets throughout the state.
Vision statement:
HASN seeks a happier and brighter future for pets throughout the state of VA, where all healthy and treatable animals will have the resources and ability to find forever homes, resulting in No-Kill VA by 2025.
Since refocusing our mission in January 2021, the Homeless Animals Support Network has made great strides and accomplished more than we ever imagined.
June 1, 2021: Six small rescue organizations who have partnered with HASN were awarded grants to fund lifesaving efforts to keep people and pets together! The programs and efforts by these six small rescues assisted 780 pets from Prince William County to the Tidewater area, the Richmond area, and areas along the Appalachian Trail. The results were amazing and you'll want to read up on each one's success.

November 26, 2021: The second HASN grant cycle, focusing on spay and neuter accessibility awarded grants to 13 HASN partner rescues. The results of these grants are still coming in but thus far 493 dogs and cats have been spayed or neutered in impoverished and underserved communities throughout the state. This grant cycle was in loving remembrance of Brian Fiebig, a gentle and kind animal lover who left us much too soon.
May 1, 2022: Our 3rd Grant Cycle, What You Need, Baby You Got It" went live. Because we know that all rescues and communities' needs are not the same, this grant is concentrated around the unique needs of each grant applicant and where the money will accomplish the greatest impact. Stay tuned to read about their stories.
