Healing Hearts Small Animal Rescue, Inc.

Healing Hearts Small Animal Rescue, Inc. is a 501 (c ) 3 nonprofit organization. We started rescuing animals and rehabilitating wildlife almost 17 years ago. We became incorporated in 2004 and received our nonprofit status from the IRS in 2007. We specialize in the rescue and rehabilitation of small mammals (hamsters, gerbils, ferrets, etc.) birds, reptiles, small exotics (sugar gliders, hedgehogs, etc.) small dogs and a limited number of cats. In the last two years, we have become involved with helping other rescues and shelters with dogs that have been rescued from puppy mills. We take in puppy mill dogs that are the least likely to be rescued because of health and/or socialization problems and rehabilitate them so that they can find new homes. We are funded solely through donations and fund raisers. We do not have any paid employees. All donations go directly to help with food, medication and veterinary fees that our rescued animals incur.

First all potential adopters are required to fill out an adoption application. When we place our animals an adoption contract is required to be signed by the adoptive family ensuring the future well being of their new family member. Healing Hearts Small Animal Rescue, Inc. also requires an adoption donation with each adoption to help cover the costs involved in pulling, vetting, maintaining, and placing these pets. Some adoption donations may be higher than others due to heartworm treatment and/or other medically necessary treatments the animal requires. In order to continue our rescue efforts, we must recoup part of this investment in our adoption donations. Our typical adoption donation is $125-$200.
