The 2025 season comes to an end… and the 2026 season will soon begin — with a NEW NAME 🥳✨
This announcement has been months in the making. After a period of almost (😬) no intake, we are finally able to share something we’ve been working through with intention, care, and a lot of reflection — and I couldn’t be more excited 🤩
Long story short: Pink Paw Project will always be part of our story and our foundation, but it no longer represents who we are today or the direction we are moving forward.
Long story long 😅 — the last few months have been messy, emotional, and full of honest conversations. During this transition, we revisited why this rescue was started in the first place. Pink Paw was created to be a safe space. We wanted to be a group you could come to with questions, concerns, or life challenges and be met with grace, understanding, and support — a rescue that cared deeply about animals and people. That core value has not changed. It is something we will always carry forward, regardless of our name.
So… why Golden Heart?
Yes, it’s a familiar name — but it’s us. Three of our four board members were born and raised in the Interior and carry the Golden Heart everywhere they go. We wanted a name that reflects who we are and the community we proudly serve.
Thanks for reading this far! Stay tuned for our official first post as Golden Heart tomorrow. 💛
