Have A Heart Dog Rescue & Adoption

About

We are a group of volunteers who are helping dogs and puppies that are in kill shelters with limited time find their forever homes. Our rescue is also committed to educating the public about responsible pet ownership including but not limited to spaying and neutering your pets and proper veterinary care. We are a nonprofit 501c3 organization dedicated to rescuing companion animals that have limited time & are at risk for euthanasia in high kill shelters. We place them into loving foster homes until we find their forever homes. Have A Heart Dog Rescue & Adoption does not specialize in a specific breed, but we help all dogs in eminent danger or at risk of being euthanized in high kill shelters. Everyday thousands of animals are sitting in kill shelters with limited time before they are euthanized simply because they do not have a home. Shelters are overcrowded and cannot offer them more time. Many pure bred and mix breed puppies, dogs, cats, and kittens would otherwise find forever homes if they simply had more time. No kill rescues such as ours help ease the burden from kill shelters and offer companion animals more time to find their forever homes. Our foster homes fill up fast and we can only save what we have room for and can financially support. We can only continue to help with the support of generous donors and people like you!

Adoption process

If you are considering a pet our adoption process can be completed in these 4 simple steps: 1. Fill out the application. 2. Once we receive the application we will begin processing it and will be in contact with you via email or phone. We are all volunteers; we will try to get back to you in 48 hours but please be patient. 3. If approved we will schedule a home visit. It will be a time for you to meet the dog you’re interested in adopting. This is necessary because we do not have a brick and mortar building. We are a foster based rescue and need to maintain the privacy of our fosters. 4. Accept the Have A Heart adoption contract and adopt your new best friend.
