Operation Petsburgh is one of Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh (HARP)’s most critical and innovative programs. By transporting at-risk animals from areas where resources and medical care are limited to HARP’s East Side and North Side shelters, these dogs and cats are given a second chance at life. The animals then fulfill a great need for more four-legged family members in our community.

Operation Petsburgh gives animals at high risk for euthanasia a second chance at life, 

transporting them from areas where resources and medical care are scarce to HARP.

  • 5,000 lives saved since program began

  • 30% annual growth

  • Spans 13 states, 49 animal rescue organizations and 3 national animal welfare groups

  • $5,500 – average cost per transport, including medical care and rehabilitation services
