Unique Company Culture and Mission

Our Mission

At Path of Hope Rescue we save pregnant dogs and puppies from high kill shelters in the Southern United States.

Our Spokane, Washington based Rescue strives to decrease the euthanasia rate of high risk dogs in the southern United States by transporting pregnant dogs and puppies to the Pacific Northwest to find adoptive homes. We do not have a kennel or building location and are 100% foster based. We currently have two paid employees and rely heavily on volunteers and fosters as we work to build out our paid staff roles.

Our Vision.
Eliminating euthanasia of dogs in the South by decreasing the amount of dogs breeding unchecked and becoming the number one dog destination in Spokane by capitalizing on Spokanes love of Rescue Dogs.

Core Values:

Transparency - sharing the good with the bad

Community - dog loving people who treat each other well

Integrity - doing what you say will do

Golden Rule - treating others how you would want to be treated

Our Company Culture

We are freedom loving American Patriots who love dogs, freedom and God.

No NGO status here, we dont take a single penny from the government. We are 100% funded by small donors and our adoption program, with a few small private grants here and there. We built this organization from the ground up in 2018 with $87.

We are built tough and believe that hard work pays off. Were about rolling up our sleeves and taking responsibility for our own actions. We dont do drama. There are no victims here and the system isnt out to get you, the only thing standing in your way is you and your attitude. We reward merit, not DEI or pronouns. We dont bend to the cultural rot out there.

At the core of who we are, we love dogs. At PHR you will find people who recognize your dog before they recognize you. Where its normal for your dog to have his own Instagram and people who expect to be invited to your dogs birthday party. We are focused on building a strong, positive community, one dog and one person at a time.

We know dogs are family and should be treated that way. And we are driven by a shared passion to make sure every dog who isnt being loved, finds their way to a family. We care for each other and have created a community of people who love making a difference in this world.
