From the Heart Animal Rescue

03/22/2026

Temperatures will be nearing 100° this week. We've already seen some record highs this past week. Please keep an eye on your pets and people. By law in Texas, you are outside animals must have access to shade to escape the heat and drinkable, clean water. Please take caution when you walk your dogs. Try to schedule a walk early in the morning or after the sun has set. Remember, pavement retains heat even after the sun is gone, so double-check it's not too hot for their paws. And never leave your pets in a car while you run in "just real quick." And leaving the window cracked does nothing to affect the temperature inside the car.

As we step into a new year, we’re taking a moment to reflect on everything your support made possible. Because of you, dogs who once knew fear now know safety. Dogs who were overlooked now sleep in warm homes. Dogs who needed time, patience, and love finally got their chance.

Your kindness, your donations, your shares, your fosters, your adoptions — every act of support has shaped our year in ways words can barely capture. You’ve stood with us through the tough cases and celebrated every victory right alongside us.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Here’s to hope, second chances, and the incredible community that makes rescue possible. And we’re honored to have you with us on that journey.

Happy New Year from all of us — two-legged and four-legged alike.

As we wrap up another year, our hearts are overflowing with gratitude. Because of your continued support, compassion, and belief in our mission, countless dogs found safety, healing, and a second chance they never thought possible.

Every donation, every share, every adoption, every kind word—each one has helped us keep going. You’ve stood with us through the tough cases, the medical emergencies, and the joyful “gotcha days.” Our pups feel your love more than you know.

This Christmas, we’re celebrating the community that makes rescue happen. Thank you for being part of our story, for lifting up the forgotten, and for reminding us that there is so much good in the world.

From all of us—two-legged and four-legged—Merry Christmas. May your days be warm, your hearts be full, and your homes be blessed with the unconditional love only a rescue dog can give.

What Do My Monthly Donations Go To?

Meet Nana.

After her human mom passed away, Nana and her sister Gigi were left behind. Their mom’s husband tried to give them away to another rescue, but when asked to hold onto them for just a short time, he refused.

That same day, both girls were picked up as strays and taken to the shelter.

On the way there, Nana had a seizure from overheating. Thankfully she recovered, but the shelter knew she needed help. We couldn’t separate the sisters, so two foster families stepped up to make room.

Gigi quickly blossomed and was adopted. Nana, however, is still healing—fearful, shy, and deeply traumatized. She’s now in our Fospice program, where donations provide medical care, stability, and love for dogs who can’t be placed in traditional homes.

Because of you, Nana isn’t just surviving—she’s living with dignity and compassion. Please consider becoming a monthly donor. Your ongoing support ensures dogs like Nana continue to receive the care they deserve.

$5 a month really does save lives.

below Thanks to your generosity last week, 6 people joined as monthly donors and 6 gave one-time gifts — together, you’re helping our hospice dogs live with comfort and dignity.

Because of monthly donations, Fraggle — who is on 5 medications — gets to continue into her golden years comfortably. One-time gifts help tremendously in emergencies, but monthly support is what keeps tails wagging through vet visits, medications, and cozy beds.

We’re thrilled to share that these new donors have been added to our From the Heart Family, bringing us to 19 monthly donors. Every new monthly donor means another pup gets the care they deserve.

Our goal is to reach 25 monthly donors before Thanksgiving. If you can spare even $5 a month, it will help these pups tremendously and give us the breathing room to plan ahead with confidence. Please click the link below and select monthly.

It’s been a while since we’ve posted—not because we’ve gone quiet, but because we’ve been focused on caring for our pups and supporting our team. This work is full of love, loss, and everything in between—and sometimes we need a moment to breathe.

For the past five years, we’ve been incredibly mindful about asking for donations. We know the world has been upside down, and we’ve only reached out when it was truly needed. Thanks to a small but mighty group of monthly donors—and our savings—we’ve kept going.

But now, our savings are starting to dwindle.

We rescue lots of senior dogs from shelters, many of whom stay with us on a hospice basis. These are the pups everyone celebrated when they got out of the shelter—but because they’re not adoptable, they sometimes get forgotten. We haven’t forgotten them. And we won’t.

They still need food. Lifesaving medications. Vet care. Comfort. Dignity.

And while we’ve always stretched every dollar, the truth is: a dollar doesn’t go as far as it used to. Costs are rising—what used to be a $25 bag of food in 2019 now costs us over $30. But even as prices climb, our commitment hasn’t wavered.

So today, we’re coming to you—hat in hand—with a simple ask: If you can, please consider joining our $5 Friday campaign. Just $5 a month. That’s it. Small donations add up, and recurring support helps us plan, prepare, and continue providing the life these pups deserve. If you can spare $5 a month, please click the link and pick monthly at the top.

Thank you for being part of our community. Thank you for caring. And thank you for believing that every life—especially the ones nearing the end—deserves love.

We’ve been inundated with messages from our four-legged friends demanding urgent clarification:

“Will dinner still be served at the correct time after the time change?!”

Rest assured, we hear you loud and clear. Our inbox is overflowing with polite (and not-so-polite) reminders that dinner is not negotiable—even if the clocks fall back.

So, to all the humans out there: your dog doesn’t care what the clock says. Their stomach runs on real time. Please adjust accordingly.
