What an incredible day! ❤️

A huge THANK YOU to all of the amazing local businesses that opened their doors and supported our annual Fill the Feed Bucket fundraiser. Your partnership and generosity help ensure that our team is ready to respond when animals and our community need us most.

We also want to recognize every single HEART volunteer who spent the day out in the community wearing red shirts, holding red buckets, smiling, educating the public, and collecting donations. Your dedication, passion, and willingness to give your time is what makes this team so special.

Because of this community, HEART can continue purchasing critical emergency response equipment and supplies needed to protect and evacuate animals during disasters and emergencies throughout Nevada County.

We are truly humbled by the support shown yesterday. From the bottom of our HEART… thank you for believing in our mission. ❤️🐾
