June is Adopt a Shelter Cat Month! Who knew? These furbabes in our Cattery sure did. But, to be honest, they think every month is Adopt a Shelter Cat Month and who are we to argue?

Cotter students came to the rescue…literally. “Shelter enrichment” is today’s topic. This terminology could cover a number of aspects of rescue shelters, but this time we’re referring to ways to improve the shelter animals’ mental state while in the shelter.

The last few weeks we’ve had a great deal of success in finding new furever homes for shelter residents.

Hello Have a Heart friends! I swear, it seems every week we think this will be “the week” things will slow down around here. Ha! But we are blessed to do the work we do and help the fur babies we help to find their furever homes. This week we want to let y’all know …

On January 24th, the Shelter posted a Facebook post about two dogs found out on Hwy 125, south of Hwy 412. One was a female, red and white pit bull dead in the ditch with what looked like bite marks from an animal. The person who found her also reported a small German Shepherd mix …
