Community

At Hopebridge RTA, we may be a small nonprofit, but we’re making a big impact. From rescuing and training dogs to educating children on dog etiquette, we’re dedicated to creating positive change in our community. We’re especially proud of our recent projects and partnerships, including our work to turn a shelter dog into a service dog and our collaboration with local businesses.

We work closely with the Stark County Dog Warden to rescue dogs in need. All the dogs we pull come exclusively from this local facility, allowing us to focus our efforts on helping animals in our own community. This partnership ensures that we can provide targeted support and care to the dogs who need it most.

We’re grateful for our partnership with Tractor Supply Co., who generously donates overstock items to support our mission. These donations help us provide essential supplies for our rescue dogs, from food and bedding to toys and grooming products.

We are thrilled to share that thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we successfully raised funds to train a shelter dog as a service dog. This initiative not only provides a second chance for a deserving dog but also helps someone in need by offering them a trained service companion. Your contributions made this possible, and we can’t wait to share updates on this journey.

We’re committed to teaching children how to safely interact with dogs. Our beagle, Brailey, loves visiting classrooms to show kids the right way to approach, pet, and care for dogs, fostering kindness and respect for animals.
