About Us

Trail of Hope Animal Rescue is a 501 (c) 3 Nonprofit in Okeechobee, FL founded by John and DeeDee Morris in Oct 2017.

This shelter for the animals is as close to home as can be provided until they find their forever home. They provide quality food, medical care, socialization, mental enrichment, comfort, security and love to these neglected, abused, abandoned and surrendered dogs. Through their tireless work and the assistance of their volunteers and foster families, they’ve been able to save over 900 dogs to date.

Trail of Hope is only possible with the help of volunteers and donations from both individuals and local businesses. It’s 100% a labor of love.

Their long-range goal is to expand the rescue to be able to serve more animals and yet continue to provide them with the individual attention and love that they deserve. In the future, they hope to add a training program to assist adopters and animal owners with training their dogs to provide them with the skills, confidence, and knowledge to excel at life together.
