Home At Last Rescue (HAL) plays an active role in this "no-kill" movement by rescuing animals from city shelters, providing temporary foster care, and bringing these animals to the public for placement in high-quality, loving homes. Historically, HAL has operated primarily in the Berkeley area and has been instrumental in lowering the euthanasia rate in the Berkeley municipal shelter from over 60% three years ago, to under 20% this past year.
HAL is now working to replicate this success by expanding efforts to other East Bay communities. They have recently begun rescuing animals in Pinole and Martinez, and stepped up efforts in Oakland and Alameda as well.
