Hearts From Heaven

Hearts From Heaven Animal Rescue, Inc. was started in 1997 to help abandoned, abused and neglected animals people just decided to throw away. My car broke down in front of the Kanawha pound. I went inside to use the phone to call someone to help me with my car and while waiting, I decided to stroll inside the pound to look at all of the animals. One puppy caught my eye immediately and I asked what was the procedure for adopting an animal, and they proceded to tell me. I then told them about the puppy that caught my eye and adopted her. I loved her so much that I wanted to help others get adopted. That's where Hearts From Heaven Animal Rescue, Inc. got started. I would pick up abandoned and stray animals that were just traveling on the street. Of course, I did try to see if they belonged to anyone in the neighborhood first, but no one seemed to even care about the poor abandoned animals. As people got word that I was rescuing animals, I started getting many calls from people that knew where there was an abandoned animal. And, the calls just kept coming. I asked people why they didn't call the pound and they told me that the dogs would be put down in a matter of days if they called them. This was new to me. Since I adopted my puppy from the pound, I thought they adopted all of the animals out. I found out later that what people were telling me was true, and I wanted to help as many animals as I could by adopting them out to good homes. We are a non-profit organization and all of our money goes to help the abandoned animals. Before the animals are adopted out, they are spayedneutered and given their shots and worming. This is possible because of people like you who donate or adopt a dog, puppy, cat or kitten. Our money just goes to the next animal in line waiting for a new home. The adoption fees go towards the spayingneutering, shots, etc. The donations go towards flea and tick products, wormer, shots, medicine, etc. When I started this rescue, I was living in Kanawha City in a small home with a small yard with little room for dogs to run. Years later, I was able to purchase a farm in Jackson County where I now have lots of room not only for dogs and cats, but horses too. As many of you may be aware, my dream come true house burned down in February, 2004. I lost everything I owned, including three of my personal pets. I am now starting over again and with the help of many anonymous people, I am getting back on my feet
