http://www.blackdogrescueproject.com/ Why Black Dogs? For those involved with dog rescue organizations and shelters, Black Dog Syndrome is a very real phenomenon. Rescues and shelters around the country know that black dogs are the last to be adopted and among the first to be euthanized. According to the National Council on Pet Population, approximately 3-4 million dogs are euthanized each year. Dog rescue statistics provide hard data for a problem that rescue voluteers already understand. Any dog that enters a shelter is faced with an uphill battle and more often than not, a grim future. 15% of dogs are fortunate to be reunited with their owners. Nearly 60% of dogs that enter shelters are euthanized. Only 25% of dogs entering a shelter are lucky enough to be adopted. Utah Humane Society Black Dog Special to promote adoption of black dogs. There are no statistics available on how many black dogs are euthanized, but we know that more black dogs are euthanized than dogs with other coat colors. The black dog is the underdog of all rescue dogs. Maybe they don't photograph as well as lighter colored dogs. Maybe it is because Hollywood teaches us that black always represents the bad guy. Maybe it is because many of the larger breeds that tend to end up in shelters and rescues are predominately black. Whatever the reason, placing a black dog in a local shelter is usually a death sentence.

The mission of Hands of Hope is to be about Gods business in caring for his children.  There are many hungry people today and there is a lot of food to be found to make provisions for the needy. 
Our mission is to find food, clothes, household goods, medical supplies and building materials.  This is done through business owners donating and networking with other food ministries. 
We assemble everything at our warehouse in Joliet, Illinois.  From there as we find needs, we stage a load by going through the inventory and getting as good assortment of all we have in accordance with the needs of the recipient.  Different areas have different needs and we accommodate to the best of our abilities. 
Not all needs are physical, there are spiritual needs too.  We do get blessed by being able to share Gods word at many of the recipients' facilities or churches.  Here also we partner with other ministries.  We are sometime asked to speak in Peoria County Jail and a prison ministry at Statesville Prison has grown from that.
We are a Christian Ministry and most of our recipients are faith based organizations.  However, when we find a need, their religion or lack thereof is not a consideration for us to help.  We do ask organizations if they are funded.  The reason for this question is to find who has the greater need.  Non-funded organizations will get first consideration because their needs are greater.
While we do have some goods being sent out of the U. S. Hands of Hope sends over ninety percent of goods received to Americans.  In many instances we are finding many hungry Americans have been overlooked by government entities and large food ministries.

The Animal Care League is a limited admission shelter located in Oak Park, Illinois. We help homeless cats and dogs by providing them food, shelter, medical attention and love until we can find them a loving home. As a not for profit 501(c)3 organization we depend on the generosity of our communities to help us meet our goals of finding new homes for as many animals as possible each year.

If you are looking to add a new member to your family, we display our adoptable dogs and cats on Adoptable Pets page. We usually have kittens available for adoption and often times have puppies, yet we do not list them on these pages because they are very popular and often adopted before we can put them on the site.
