Welcome to Project Hope Animal Rescue

Hi, I’m Stacy Pyrek, founder of Project Hope Animal Rescue. What began as a personal mission to help animals in need has grown into a passionate community dedicated to giving every dog and cat a second chance at life. At Project Hope, we believe that love, compassion, and a safe environment can transform even the most broken spirits.

Every animal that comes through our doors is treated like family. Whether they’ve been abandoned, neglected, or simply forgotten, we’re here to offer them hopeβ€”and a path to a forever home. With the help of our incredible volunteers, fosters, and supporters, we’re making a difference one rescue at a time.

Thank you for visiting. We invite you to learn more about our mission, meet our adoptable animals, and join us in giving them the future they deserve.

With hope,

Stacy Pyrek
