HART (Homeless Animals Rescue Team)
This organization took in a ton of dogs that were from a puppy mill. These dogs live in the worst conditions imaginable. It's sick to think that these dogs suffered while the horrible people who put them through that made money. I commend HART for taking in these dogs and helping them find new starts to life.
Hart helps ALL the animals, NOT just the easily adopted ones.
HART volunteers are such a great group of devoted, hard-working people, they go the extra mile(s) to help find great homes for lucky pets.
HART is a dedicated group of volunteers who open their hearts and homes to hundreds of homeless animals each year with the goal of finding 4ever homes for each and every one of them. We recently adopted a dog through HART ~ what a wonderful experience. We feel like we've made friends for life.
We got Jolie came from HART on Valentine's Day in 2009. She had been found near a road in rural Virginia, pregnant, and placed in a kill shelter. HART rescued her and placed her in a wonderful foster home where she had her 7 pups. They then found forever homes for all her puppies, and we found her! The incredible thing is that HART does this for hundreds of dogs every year based solely on donations and the dedicated work of volunteers who are out there every weekend showing off would-be adoptees. With so many placements you'd think they'd rush to give away dogs, but far from the truth, they were extremely thorough in their interviews and home visit. They even came out after the adoption to help us with her socializing! I am in awe of the wonderful work HART does and I only wish I had more space to adopt another wonderful HART pet.
