Humane Rescue Alliance

We are dedicated to ensuring the safety and welfare of all animals in addition to bringing people and animals together. With a people-focused, community-based approach, we treat every animal as an individual and emphasize specialized care for both animals and their families. Through our five campuses in the District of Columbia and New Jersey, 19 animal control contracts, and direct care, rescue, and community-based services, we are the largest animal services provider in our region, touching the lives of over 100,000 animals annually. Our teams find solutions to both small and big problems, from providing direct care to an animal in crisis to tackling systemic barriers to affordable, pet-friendly housing.

High school sophomores, juniors, and seniors may apply to become Pet Pantry Prep Stock Assistants. Pet Pantry Stock Assistants help replenish HRA’s Pet Pantry. Pet Pantry Prep Stock Assistants' efforts support companion animals and their guardians in the community. Pet Pantry Stock Assistants help HRA provide food to animals whose human families are struggling financially. Many people in the community depend on the Pet Pantry for supplemental food for their cats and dogs. This new position is a great opportunity for teens who don't mind physical activity. Most sessions are conducted at HRA's property at M and 10th Streets, S.E. on after school or on weekends. There are no animal or general public interactions during the prep sessions.
