🐾 New Faces at the Rescue! 🐾

This week, we welcomed a sweet mama dog with her four puppies, one single pup, and four beautiful cats.

Some of these sweet souls came from incredibly tough situations, while others came from loving homes where they could simply no longer stay. Whatever their pasts look like, we are so grateful that we are a part of their future. We have opened our doors to give them a safe, warm place to land while we help them find their perfect forever families.

We can’t do this vital work alone. Every animal that enters our care receives medical attention—including spay/neuter surgeries, microchipping, and essential vaccines—to ensure they are happy, healthy, and ready for adoption.

If you can contribute toward their medical expenses, any amount makes a massive difference:

Three precious lives were forever changed when Fred, Brandy, and Moo found their forever homes last week. Witnessing the profound joy that only a loving family can bring fills our hearts with such happiness!

To our supporters, staff, volunteers, and foster parents, we thank you for your tireless efforts that make a difference every single day; your dedication is invaluable.

There are still many more hearts waiting to be found, so check our website at www.heartofthefoothills.org/adopt or come by our adoption center at 380 U.S. Hwy 221N, Rutherfordton, NC, where you might discover the one that captures yours! ❤️

13 lucky dogs and puppies left for their forever homes this week!
Eight from Rutherford County Animal Control Services and five from HFAR!🐾✨

We are absolutely thrilled to be a part of their journeys to fresh starts and happy tails. A massive THANK YOU to everyone involved in making this happen. From the volunteers who exercised the pups before their big trip, to the drivers, the paperwork heroes, and everyone working behind the scenes—we truly couldn't do this without you! ❤️

15 pairs of eyes. 15 heavy hearts. 15 dogs waiting for a hero.

Behind the kennel doors at Heart of the Foothills, 15 beautiful souls are waiting. They don't understand why they are here.

Some were pulled from animal control. Others were found wandering the streets, lonely, hungry, and confused. And some were dropped off by the only families they ever knew—left behind with nothing but a collar and a broken heart.

Regardless of where they came from or the sadness in their pasts, their spirits aren't broken. They are still so full of love, so sweet, and so desperate for just one thing: you. They just want to know what it feels like to be safe, cherished, and finally home.

They don't want to spend another night sleeping on a shelter floor. They need a hero to walk through that door and change their world forever. 😭❤️

💔 Please, don't let them keep waiting:
📍 Come look into their eyes: 380 US HWY 221 N, Rutherfordton, NC

📅 Days: Wednesday – Saturday

⏰ Hours: 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM
