Most
all breed rescues and humane societies are designed for volume, so
they are unable to care for the special needs of some. They
take the highly adoptable dogs and cats and leave others behind …
that’s where we come in
From The Heart Rescue was founded
in January 2004, due to the need of a very special dog. Bear-A-Cutie
(as we came to call him) was discarded by his family because, after
they allowed him to get into antifreeze, they wouldn't deal with the
aftermath. He was taken to the vet for euthanasia...at only
a few months old, his life was almost over. Partially blind
and deaf, no rescue group would take him. Through the compassion
of several individual rescuers throughout the country, Bear_A-Cutie
was saved. Just three months later, after rehabilitation
by his foster home, he was starting agility training and, soon after
that, found the love he so deserved ina new forever home.
Through dedication, a
deep love and respect for those unwanted by others, From The Heart
is able to give chances to dogs like Bear-A-Cutie which other rescues,
operating on volume, are not. Dogs are given the individual
attention in a loving foster home while recovering from their previous
lives. While we may not place 2,000 animals a year, each one
of the animals placed through From The Heart is ensured of a loving,
carefully screened home, where they will get the second chance they
deserve at a happy and healthy life.
