Hope's Chest Inc.

Hope’s Chest Inc. Hope’s Chest was created soon after Hope Animal Hospital opened in July 2009. It was heaven sent. Hope’s Chest, Inc.

is a non-profit organization in Cleveland County, N.C., that provides a range of critically important veterinary and related services for animals referred by Cleveland County Animal Control. Our wonderful clients began our efforts by donating their pet’s medications to Dr. Lawrence to “pay it forward.” Their generosity to help other animals after losing their own pet was astonishing. Dr. Lawrence

began helping animals at our local humane society shelter (Cleveland County Humane Society), hurt or injured animals at Cleveland County Animal Control’s shelter, and several animals that came into her hospital that had no one to take care of them. Since 2009, Dr. Lawrence has been able to collect and use medications and donated bedding and supplies to help animals in need. And it has been an amazing success…over 1000 animals have received veterinary care!! became a 501c3 non-profit organization in 2015. This is our mission: "Hope’s Chest Inc. These services include surgery and other medical care, fostering and adoption, educational programs and community outreach." We are all VERY excited that God has given us this opportunity to give to those animals that need our help. Dr. Lawrence came up our tag line…“Pawsitively Paying It Forward” …this sums up Hope’s Chest!!

🐾 Paws for Thought: Finding an injured stray can be overwhelming, but your actions can make all the difference. First, approach the animal carefully and safely. If it’s in immediate danger, secure it gently. Contact a local rescue, animal control, or veterinarian for guidance on next steps. Every small act of care helps give these animals a second chance at life. 💜✨

Every rescued pet has a story, and sometimes it takes a little time to feel safe and loved. 💭🐾 Patience, play, and gentle introductions can turn shy or nervous pets into confident, joyful companions. Be their calm, caring guide—they’ll thank you with endless love! 💟

At Hope’s Chest, we believe every animal deserves a chance to heal and thrive. 🐾 Through medical funding for approved rescues, we help organizations save more lives, treat injuries and illnesses, and give pets the care they need to find loving forever homes. Together, we’re making a real difference—one paw at a time. 💟

🐾 Did You Know? Millions of animals enter shelters each year, but only about half find their forever homes. Every adoption saves two lives—one for the pet you welcome into your home, and one for another animal waiting for a chance.

Give hope, save a life, and make a difference today. 💜

Meet Oreo! 🐾 This sweet 5–6 year old Bully Breed mix has a heart as big as her smile. After coming into medical care for a leg injury, Oreo bounced back stronger than ever—nothing slows her down! She’s playful, loving, and always ready to curl up with her humans for a cozy movie night. 🎬💟

Oreo would thrive in a home with older kids, maybe a cat or two, and a fenced yard for all her zoomies. She’s house-trained, crate-trained, fully vetted, and more than ready to start her forever chapter. Could she be your perfect match?

Our Story

Hope’s Chest medical fund was created soon after Hope Animal Hospital opened in July 2009. Our wonderful clients began our efforts by donating their pet’s medications to Dr. Moseley Lawrence to “pay it forward.” Their generosity to help other animals after losing their own pet was astonishing. It was heaven sent.

Dr. Moseley Lawrence began helping animals at our local humane society shelter (Cleveland County Humane Society), hurt or injured animals at Cleveland County Animal Control’s shelter, and several animals that came into her hospital that had no one to take care of them. Over the last 7 years, Dr. Moseley Lawrence has been able to collect and use medications and donated bedding and supplies to help animals in need. And it has been an amazing 10 years… over 1000 animals have received veterinary care!!

In October 2013, Hope’s Chest Inc became a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Because of its continued growth and support, the medical fund now focuses more on the hurt and injured strays/abandoned animals referred by the Cleveland County Animal Control. Hope’s Chest is a very unique organization. We are focused on providing medical and surgical care for our county’s shelter animals that need more specialized care. But we also want to help educate our community. Our mission statement better defines who we are and what we do:

“Hope’s Chest Inc. is a non-profit organization in Cleveland County, N.C., that provides a range of critically important veterinary and related services for animals referred by Cleveland County Animal Control. These services include surgery and other medical care, fostering and adoption, educational programs and community outreach.”
