Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Animal Rescue
Harmony New Beginnings Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) public Charity. We are committed to saving local animals from abuse, neglect and death. We focus on domestic animals, horses, dogs, llama, goats ect. We specialize in horses and small breed dogs. Our focus is on assisting Animal control and county shelters. We also welcome local families with medical emergencies or animals they can no longer take care of due to issues of aging. . HNBAR also raises fund for medical needs of animals in their homes or in shelters. Some families can not afford medical emergencies with their pets and sometimes we can help. This allows for the animal to receive needed medical care and stay in their home. We are committed to the futures of the animals that come into the rescue. For some this becomes their sanctuary and for others a stepping stone to a new life.
Animal Food Bank
Currently we are offering services to Sheridan, Willimina, and surrounding areas. Our Goal is to help as many animals as possible remain in their home until long term care solutions can be found.
Children's programs
Educational programs for local youth. We have special days set aside for kids to come out and meet the animals and learn about them. We also do speciality education days such as Scouting equine education.
Assisting Law Enforcement
We often take animals for law enforcement either as strays or as legal seizures. These animals come in needing a lot of attention. Helping animals heal is our full-time focus.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our goal is to end animal abuse, and neglect by ending first locally. We want to educate the public on how to care for animals, how to recognize abuse and neglect.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We run several pet networking facebook pages. We have a pet food bank. We do outreach and food handouts in the community. We work to educate the public through public events and on line contacts. We also take in animals provide proper medical, social and nutrional needs. We adopt animals out with contracts that require they are returned to the rescue, rather than sold. We do this minimize the risk to our animals of ending up abused, or sold at auction that could end up in slaughter.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Harmony took in over 225 animals in during 2015. Almost 400 animals were fed through our local pet food bank. We have many visitors coming to the rescue. We also attend the local pet expo, and other fund raising and educational events.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We really want to get a small building put up for having a book reader read to local children here at the rescue. We are seeking funding for this program. Animal abuse is an ongoing issue for our community.
