Very few animal shelters in Western Pennsylvania accept all domestic animals, regardless of age, health, or temperament. Many other shelters choose to reject animals that don't fit a particular profile. We have an "open door" policy, so every animal finds shelter at Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh, every day. For generations, the community has relied on us as a resource for adoption, foster homes, veterinary care, behavioral training and animal welfare advocacy. We consider the unique needs of all the animals in our care and work compassionately to prepare every safe, appropriately socialized pet for a wonderful new life. As you can imagine, opening our doors to so many animals requires the support of volunteers like you. Thank you for your commitment! By clicking "I Agree", I understand and agree with HARP's Open Door Philosophy. I agree as a volunteer to hold information confidential to internal operations within Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh. This applies to policies and procedures concerning the care of the animals, decisions made regarding euthanasia and any other information that could be misunderstood or misconstrued by the public. Additionally, as a volunteer, I agree to not make any statements that could damage or reasonably damage the reputation of HARP and its relationship with customers. I have read the above statement regarding the Open Door Philosophy and Confidentiality statement and agree to abide by these conditions.

This policy will set forth guidelines that volunteers should follow for all online communications in reference to HARP and applies to any person associated with HARP including, but not limited to: employees, volunteers, contract employees, interns, temporary employees, etc. Apply a “good judgement” test for every activity related to online communication. Think of the following: Could your posting negatively affect the organization’s partnerships within the community, adopters, and potential donors? Could what you are posting possibly limit adoptions and/or donations by community members? Could your posting potentially harm the relationship between the shelter and its surrounding community? All posts should display professionalism and be respectful and truthful. We require that information or opinions related to the internal operations of the organization be treated as confidential and that no disparaging or misinformed statements are made online that would damage or reasonably damage the organization’s brand and reputation. It is unacceptable to post any comments or pictures of unavailable animals, wildlife, or any other animals subject to confiscation, judicial order, or other restricted or confidential situations. - An exception will be made for fosters who have kittens in foster for weight gain only. This includes bottle babies or any other kitten that is too young for adoption. This does not apply to animals that are unavailable and in foster for any other reason, unless expressly stated by the Foster Coordinator. By clicking "I Agree" below, you acknowledge that you have read Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh's Social Media Policy, and understand that is your responsibility to comply with the policies contained therein, and any revisions made to it.
