Heart of Glass Animal Rescue
Based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Heart of Glass rescue was founded in 2022 as a safe haven for homeless, marginalized animals and to help fellow shelters and rescues, when needed. Our open arms policy for all animals despite their physical, mental, or behavioral challenges, provides the unbiased and loving environment these animals need. We are unique individuals with unique needs in life—and, our animals are no different. Nicola Hill-Solomon (Founder/ Executive Director)
Nicola Hill-Solomon is the Founder and Executive Director of Heart of Glass. This rescue is based on the philosophy that ALL animals deserve a life filled with love, respect, and acceptance. A vegan since childhood, Nicola has made caring for and protecting animals her way of life. From saving every creature in need since childhood, to seven years managing at the Providence Animal Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, she has relentlessly fought for misfit animals for over 30 years. Nicola lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with her husband and fellow board member Victor and their multiple furry children. Donations made to Heart of Glass will be going directly to the animals and operational costs of the Rescue- helping us to continue to provide medical care, and a safe haven, for our animals in need. The donations will also allow us to help more animals in need here, as well as overseas. Thomas Humane Society). The funds are especially needed for our special needs animals and their medical and living expenses.

With our favorite holiday coming up tomorrow, what better way to kick off the Hallo-weekend than announcing the adoption of a resident black cat! 🐈‍⬛

The sweetest little boy Nix, now named Sir Sidney by his Pittsburgh Penguins loving parents, has found his forever home with mom and dad Bridget and Jim! He came to us at the end of last year from our partners The Kitten Fight Club and Pets With Wings, INC St. Thomas USVI! He’s been patiently waiting for his perfect family and we’re so happy they’ve found each other! 🤗

He now has a new kitty sister named Willow, and his parents tell us he’s really coming out of his shell! They even nicknamed him Bug because they say he’s such a sweet lil bug! 🐛

Happy tails, Sir Sidney! 🐾

Just a few more photos of some of the attendees at our Doggy Costume Party hosted by Birmingham Bridge Tavern! 👻

Thank you so much to everyone who attended and all the pups who dressed up! From Edward Scissorhands, to devils, bats, and coincidentally twinning Lambchops, we loved seeing everyone’s costumes, themed bandanas, or smiling faces! Another huge thanks to our pals at BBT, their amazing staff, and their supportive sponsors for making it happen! Of course, we can’t forget to mention our friends at Happyplantbotanicals and gossipandnailspa who graciously provided our contest winner, Renfield and her mom, with some goodies! 🐾

As many of you saw, the Beagle Bill was officially signed into law by Governor Shapiro last week! We are so grateful that we are moving in the right direction to protect vulnerable animals. You may remember that we traveled to Harrisburg with our very own beagle ambassador, Bagel, in 2025 and earlier this year for Humane Lobby Day. We were able to speak directly to our representatives and explain the importance of the Beagle Bill. 🐾

Pennsylvania is now the 13th state to ban the sales of cosmetics that are tested on animals. The Beagle Bill provides new rights and protections for these beautiful dogs and we can’t wait to see the day that ALL animal testing is in the past! 🙏🏻

Thank you so much to our friend Kristen Tullo from Humane World for Animals for inviting us to be a part of this work. We are so proud to have played a small role in this historic decision and we look forward to continuing to stand up for animals together! 🫡

This little girl has been living the good life with her new dad, Paperhead the past few weeks! 🏡

Ruby, now named Lady Bird, came to us a short time ago from our partners Pets With Wings, INC St. Thomas USVI! She spent some time with her wonderful foster parents, Sophie Bean and Eric Neugebauer, before being scooped up by her dad Joe! 🤗

She dazzled everyone she met in her time with us, and we’re so glad she found her forever! Happy tails, Lady Bird! 🖤
