HARTT - Hardin Animal Relocation and Transition Team

I want to say a big THANK YOU to all who have donated to our HARTT Spay/Neuter program in the memory of my wonderful father, Mike Durak, over the last few months. His love of animals and the environment was a huge inspiration for me to create HARTT Rescue and the low-cost spay/neuter program we started in 2012. Your donations mean a lot to me personally and to our HARTT spay/neuter program in particular. The animals in seven rural counties will benefit from your thoughtfulness. My sincere thank you to all of you! -- Jennifer Penick

Thank you to Katherine J. for the donation to out rescue in memory of her beloved companion. We know a wonderful companion can give only the best kind of love and devotion.

"In loving memory of Holly. Her time on earth was too short, but the impact of love will be everlasting."

We appreciate your donation and know that our spay and neuter program will use these funds wisely.

They left our foster homes Wednesday morning and will be up for adoption tomorrow at 11 am at HSHV. Please give our sweet babies a loving forever home. They were all very special to us!

It’s the last HARTT Rescue transport of 2025 and we are celebrating 30 more lives headed for our partners at HSHV aboard the HSHV Love Train!!! There’s nothing like the feeling knowing that they will be in homes for the Holidays after being here for several weeks getting all we can give them. One set has been here 8 weeks arriving with their mom at only 3-days old! Thank you to all of our amazing partners here and in Michigan for helping save more lives.

Merry Christmas jingle bells ringing at HARTT and CAHS for the transport on its way! Thirty-four sweet souls headed north dreaming in new loving homes for the Holidays. Thanks to Randy and his wife for transporting up today from heartofalabama (HASRA), Angel for bringing your dogs from Country Road Animal Rescue it takes a lot of fabulous partners working together to make a full transport ;). We wish all of you Happy Holidays and a fabulous Nee Year!

Another transport day this morning…26 gorgeous pups headed to Michigan aboard the HSHV Love Train Van. We do appreciate Toni and her dad for making the trip down for these pups and getting them safely back despite the snow/ice (they still had some on the van this morning!). We will see them in two weeks for the last transport of 2025!

Good morning to all of our followers and friends on this chilly first Tuesday of December also known around the world as GivingTuesday where you have the chance to help us continue to make an impact on animals. If you have a little bit to give today, please do so through our website links or using the donate button on the page (the donations tab has all the links to donation platforms and our physical mailing address for checks). We appreciate all the help we can get to ensure we can continue to help provide lifesaving spay/neuter services in our region.

GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: A day that encourages people to do good. Over 13 years, this idea has grown into a global movement that inspires millions of people to donate, volunteer, and spread awareness. If you can support the mission of any nonprofit working hard in the world today, we encourage you to do so - if not us, another hard working group!

The HARTT puppies enjoyed their yummy Thanksgiving meal today! We are thankful for those who send puppy canned food monthly that helps us keep them well fed (especially those who lost their mommies too soon and are so young they still need milk with their canned food).

Wishing all of you a fabulous, friends and family filled, and blessed Thanksgiving with your furry companions by your side!
