We want to thank ALL of our fabulous friends who supported us this past Saturday with our first March on Yulin to raise money for the Soi Dog Foundation.
This organization does such phenomenal work to protect animals in Thailand and in the fight to end the dog and cat meat trade in Asia.
Please check them out 🙏❤️🐶🐱
We are still tallying the total donation we raised and will keep everyone posted!
We have our Yulin merchandise available on our website where funds will continue to go directly to the Soi Dog Foundation.
This March will be an annual event for us and will continue until this horrendous “festival” and the meat trade in Asia finally ends for good.

Thank you Ruggers Pub, ivysdoggieicecreampawlor, Millie’s Homemade Ice Cream, Masha Vereshchenko, Happyplantbotanicals and everyone involved!!
We love and appreciate you all ❤️

We also want to give a big shout out to the wonderful individuals who used their time, resources and talent to create merchandise to benefit the Soi Dog Foundation tomorrow.
Thank you you to our darling alumni Zion’s mom _ashh910 for organizing the creation of these awesome signs by Fast Times Screen Printing & Sign Co. ❤️
Thank you to one of our biggest supporters and besties Masha Vereshchenko for creating these incredible totes that speak volumes about the atrocities at Yulin.
Thank you to one of our amazing board members skylynrk for taking the lead in creating these limited edition shirts through ML Screen Printing.
And finally to Michael george who lovingly adopted the beautiful Mario from us in 2022. Mario is the face of the meat trade in Asia.
He was saved from Korea by our friends at Humane World for Animals and brought to us as one of the most terrified and emotionally fractured dog we have ever seen. Through patience and time with his unbelievably kind father Micheal, he has grown into a very happy and tranquil boy ❤️

We love you, Mario

100% of the proceeds will go directly to Soi Dog Foundation tomorrow!!
As they always say, it takes a village and we are so grateful for ours 🥰🐶

We hope to see everyone this Saturday at 12 PM to TAKE A STAND against the Yulin dog festival that occurs in China annually June 21st-June 30th and raise as much money as possible for the Soi Dog Foundation in Thailand.
This horrific event is marketed as an ancient tradition while in truth, it was created in 2010 by the dog and cat meat farmers to boost their trade.
For 10 straight days, 10,000 dogs and cats are brutally tortured and eventually eaten because they believe the meat creates “health benefits” and torture makes the meat more tender.
These animals are taken off the street and stolen from people’s homes.
Please march with us from our rescue at 99 S 10th Street to our dear friends at Ruggers Pub all on the Southside.

HUGE THANK YOU to the following businesses that are donating their time and resources to help us raise as much money as possible ❤️

MILLIES ICE CREAM in Lawrenceville (and best human ice cream in town) will be doing a DINE and DONATE in their store and set up an ice cream booth at Ruggers where 20% of the sales goes directly to the Soi Dog Foundation!! Their amazing VEGAN flavors will be there too

IVY’S ICE CREAM in Lawrenceville (and best doggie ice cream in town) will have a special “ Soi Dog Sundae” for your pup!
This is made up of vanilla ice cream with your choice of dehydrated fruit or veggies
10% of all proceeds will go directly to the Soi Dog Foundation

AND last but certainly not least our final destination destination at Ruggers Pub
They will be running a featured drink where proceeds on Saturday will benefit the Soi Dog Foundation :

“Paws by the poolside” 🍹🐾:

Strawberry vodka, cocobuddy, pineapple juice & sprite 😋

We will also have merchandise and signs where 100% of the proceeds will go to the Soi Dog Foundation
We want this to be an annual event until this travesty ends so we hope to see as many of you as possible for our first March !!

We have some devastating news to share this afternoon.
Our gorgeous senior boy Bourbon crossed the rainbow bridge on the evening of June 8th.
He collapsed suddenly in his home and his wonderful foster parents, Jon and Ashley Marie rushed him to Blue Pearl immediately.
Sadly nothing could be done and we still don’t have all the answers 😢
We are BEYOND grateful for Jon and Ashley as they were the most attentive, loving and supportive foster parents.
They did everything they possibly could in that moment ❤️
Bourbon has a huge fan club ever since he came to us on January 1st. He was brought in by the very caring son of Bourbon’s previous elderly owners.
We know that this beautiful boy was only shown love throughout his life and we are so thankful for that 🙏
He will be deeply missed by all of us at heart of glass and especially by his incredible foster parents and foster sister Carmie ❤️🐾

Rest in Peace Angel
You were loved and we miss you so much

New tote design by .ninja just dropped for our March Against the Yulin Meat Trade! As you’ve seen recently, we will have some tees and totes at our march on Saturday, June 20th starting at 12pm. 🐾

We’d love for you to join us to raise awareness, as many people have no idea about the torture that these animals face. Let’s take a stand together. 💪🏼

Head to our website to get more information and register to walk with us! (Link in bio). There is no fee to join in on the march, but tees and tote sales will directly benefit Soi Dog Foundation as they work tirelessly to rescue cats and dogs from the meat trade.

Dog-friendly dogs welcome to join in and walk with us!

We had the greatest time attending on Sunday, walking in the parade, handing out bandanas, and celebrating our community! 💕

Pride is important to us for many reasons, but Heart of Glass is dedicated to uplifting those who have felt marginalized, like they didn’t fit in, or that they weren’t accepted.

YOU MATTER HERE! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

You’re safe with us, you’re important to us, you fit in with us. We’re for the misfits 🖤
