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.

WHAT IS THE YULIN FESTIVAL?!

Many people are unaware that the dog and cat meat trade is still so pervasive in other countries. In Yulin, China, they have a yearly “festival” in which thousands of dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens are tortured and later slaughtered to be eaten. Some are even stolen pets.

THIS IS NOT TRADITION! This festival was started in 2010 by dog meat farmers to encourage more people to eat dogs and cats. A majority of China is against this! In 2020, their government attempted a crackdown, yet appropriate measures have not been implemented to ban the festival despite a majority of the dog and cat meat trade relying on criminal activity.

HELP US BRING AWARENESS TO THESE ATROCITIES! Dogs and cats are family, not food, and even though over 80% of China agrees, these animals are suffering. We are educating the public and raising funds for Soi Dog Foundation who directly rescues animals from the meat trade.

JOIN US ON SATURDAY, JUNE 20th! March through the Southside from Heart of Glass Animal Rescue to ! Stop by to get a special ice cream for your dog that will also support Soi Dog!

We are BEYOND grateful for how amazing yesterday’s Pints for Pups event sponsored by ABM Industries and Hofbrauhaus Pittsburgh was! The weather held out for most of the afternoon, giving us all a beautiful day outside! Not only did Fury have so much fun running around and making new friends, but we loved meeting everyone’s pups and watching them in the competitions! We also got to see quite a few familiar faces when our alumni, Pepper, Zion, Arlo, and Tabby came to visit! 🐾

Thank you to all the humans and dogs who participated, to the businesses that donated their time and hard work, and a special thank you to Sean from Hollywood Feed- Southside Works for connecting us with the organizer, Billie Williams, for this amazing community event from SouthSide Works! 💕

Another congratulations are in order to 412Flowers on their grand opening and throwing a spectacular celebration! 🥳 💐
