At Hearts & Paws Animal Rescue, our mission is to make sure every pet has a safe and loving home. Based in Abilene Texas, we are a dedicated non-profit organization created by a group of experienced animal rescuers, transporters and foster moms who are committed to helping abandoned and neglected dogs and cats get healthy and find their forever homes.

Take for example Mama Stormy and her puppies, as pictured here in the cover photo. She was found tossed in a ditch in a crate with her babies during a tornado next to a bag of food. One of the babies unfortunately drowned because the ditch was full of water. We had amazing people step up for Mama and her remaining babies to foster and got them to safety. All of them had skin conditions from the dirty water and the babies developed rickets. We got everyone treated and well. They were all fixed, vaccinated and have all been placed in loving forever homes and are doing amazing!

Gale (pictured above) was a another difficult case . She was neglected in her foster's care and put outside at night. She got hung up in a rope for an unknown amount of time and nearly lost her front leg as a result. We were blessed with a couple who do cold laser for livestock and they have worked with her for months to save her leg and rehab her anxieties. Her foster also allowed her to be attacked by other large dogs, resulting in scars all over her body and anxiety behaviors. We are investing much time, love, and funds to make sure that she heals and can find the love she deserves.

Cowboy is a more recent rescue with Hearts & Paws Animal Rescue. Found dumped in his cowboy jersey and sadly no one claimed him. He’s going through bad separation anxiety, causing some destruction of the fosters home, and requires special supplies. We are getting him on special medications to help control some of his anxiety and he will be fully vetted before he can find his forever home.

Won't you consider making a donation to Hearts & Paws Animal rescue this Giving Tuesday? We believe that these animals deserve our love and respect and we know you do too! Any dollar amount really helps us provide veterinary care for these extraordinary animals. We hope you'll open up your heart and your wallet and help us acheive more great things and find happy new beginnings for these beautiful creatures - as they all deserve a "best friend" and a home to call their own!
