Hopeful Hearts

The mission of Hopeful Hearts Rescue Inc. is to provide safe and caring foster homes to dogs who are homeless, with a particular focus on, but not limited to, senior and special needs dogs. Hopeful Hearts will provide protective, stable environments, and using a rigorous screening process, will endeavour to find and place dogs in permanent and loving adoptive homes.

Hopeful Hearts Rescue Inc. also commits to providing foster and adoptive families with support, education and resources to ensure that they are responsible dog owners and that their dogs are happy, healthy and secure.

Hopeful Hearts is committed to complete transparency and financial accountability in our dog rescue operations. We strongly believe that it is important for our donors to know how their dollars are spent. Please view our Quarterly Reports to learn more about us and our work.

We hope you will find these reports informative and timely. With thanks, Roz and the Board at Hopeful Hearts

Sometimes all you need is a hug!

Sometimes all you need is a hug ...living in a shelter can be such a scary place. It makes animals behave in ways that make others think they are not adoptable... when all they need is a hug. Please watch this video to understand how simple TLC can be all that is needed to reassure an animal that it's going to be okay...... Edie came within an hour of being euthanized. One hug from a devoted animal lover changed her life forever. Take a moment to watch EDIE!!
