Hope Springs Eternal is a husband and wife team who manage a small breed dog rescue in the beautiful Adelaide Hills area of South Australia. We aspire to "change the world for one dog at a time" by taking in dogs that need to be rehomed for a range of reasons. All vet services, training and socialization are provided, prior to finding a permanent family for the pet whose needs match those of the dog. Pets are cared for in a home environment and have a built in dog park to frolic in, as well as going out for regular walks in the countryside and hills, tucking into home-made meals and enjoying a meaty bone each week. Hope Springs does not "adopt out" dogs so much as "adopt in" families! We have reviewed a number of the reasons that small breed dogs are surrendered to rescues and have implemented our Paws and People and Pay It Paw-ward Programs to help “Keep Pets and People Together” by providing short term boarding (up to 3 months) of pets where their owners are homeless or hospitalized and have no friend or family network who can support them, assisting people experiencing financial stress to pay for urgent medical treatment for their pets via our Pay it Paw-ward Program, and providing food and basic needs for pets of homeless people along with basic vet care via pop up vet clinics. We work collaboratively with other rescues and services and educate regarding responsible pet ownership. We assist those doing it tough without judgment and promote the concept of paying it forward primarily by helping others who might be in the same situation when personal circumstances permit.
