Humane Rescue Alliance

🖤❤️💚 HRA will be closed on June 19 in observance of Juneteenth.

Juneteenth is a day to celebrate freedom, honor resilience, and reflect on the ongoing journey toward equity and justice. It is also an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the strength, contributions, and history of Black communities.

As we pause to observe this important day, we encourage our community to take time to learn, reflect, celebrate, and connect.

Our facilities will reopen with normal operating hours on Saturday, June 20, 2026.

Thank you for being part of our HRA community, and we wish everyone a meaningful and joyful Juneteenth!

Animals like Janis are counting on compassionate supporters like you.

Behind every adoption story is a community that helped make their second chance possible.

For more than 155 years, the Humane Rescue Alliance has been a trusted source of support for animals and families throughout Washington, D.C.

To keep this vital work going through the seasons ahead, we are aiming to raise $100,000 for our 2026 Annual Fund.

Please join us: every gift made between now and our June 30 Giving Day will be matched, doubling your impact for the pets who need it most.

Will you help us reach our goal?
