Meet Baja Blast! 💚

This beautiful 1½-year-old Pitbull mix is ready to leave our Adoption Wing and head to a home of her very own! At about 45 lbs, she’s the perfect medium size, and her personality is just as sweet as her name.

Baja Blast is a happy, friendly girl with a big tail wag and a smile for everyone she meets. She loves playtime, does well with other dogs, and would fit right in with a family that has children or canine companions!

If we had to describe her in five words? Friendly, loving, playful, affectionate, and funny! 💕

Could Baja Blast be your future fur-ever friend?

It’s National Animal Shelter Week! Celebrated the first week of November, this special week honors the incredible work of animal shelters and the compassionate people who keep them running, staff, volunteers, and donors alike! ❤️

Even though dogs and cats are some of America’s most beloved companions, pet homelessness remains a big challenge. The ASPCA reports that in just the first half of 2025, approximately 2.8 million dogs and cats entered shelters across the U.S.

Many shelters and rescues, like HART, are non-profits that rely on community support to keep their doors open and continue providing life-saving care. From adoptions and reuniting lost pets, to vet services, spay/neuter programs, and microchipping, shelters do it all!

Here’s how you can show your appreciation this week:
🐶 Adopt: Give a homeless pet a loving home! Our Adoption Wing is open Tuesday–Saturday, and we have lots of adorable dogs and cats waiting to meet you. Meet them here: https://hartforanimals.org/meet-the-pets

🐾 Volunteer: Join our HART volunteer team! Whether you’re a cat cuddler, dog walker, or event helper, there’s a place for you. Learn more here: https://hartforanimals.org/volunteer

💛 Donate: Help us care for more animals in need by contributing to HART. Every dollar makes a difference! Donate here: https://hartforanimals.org/ways-to-give

📲 Support on social media: Follow, like, and share our posts to help spread the word and get more pets adopted!

Let’s celebrate this week by showing love and appreciation for shelters and the animals who depend on them! 💕

Meet our dog of the week, Anton!

This adorable little guy appears to be a small black Lab mix and weighs just 31 lbs! We think he’s around 2 years old.

Anton is as sweet and friendly as they come. He’s playful, affectionate, and the perfect size to tag along on all your adventures!

He’s doing great with his housebreaking (no accidents so far!) and seems to get along well with other dogs. He hasn’t been around cats, though, so he’d prefer a feline-free home.

Could Anton be your perfect match? 💛

Apply to adopt him today: hartforanimals.org/meet-the-pets

Please share to help this lovable pup find the second chance he deserves!

It’s just one month until Giving Tuesday! 🎉

Giving Tuesday, happening this year on December 2, is a global day of generosity where people come together to make a difference in their communities. For HART, it’s one of the most important days of the year to raise funds that help us care for more animals in need. 💛

This year, every dollar raised will go to Neil’s Helping Fund, our charitable program that provides emergency veterinary care for pets whose families can’t afford life-saving treatment. Created in honor of our beloved clinic cat Neil, this fund has helped countless pets survive emergencies like surgeries, fracture repairs, and Parvo treatments, keeping pets and their families together when it matters most.

Our goal: $10,000 to replenish Neil’s Helping Fund and continue saving lives right here in our community.

Mark your calendars for December 2, and join us this Giving Tuesday to help us keep pets with the families who love them.

Learn more about Neil’s Fund and how you can make a difference for pets in need at hartforanimals.org 💙
