Jason Heigl Foundation, Heigl Hounds of Hope

About Our Rescue Group

The Jason Debus Heigl Foundation was founded by Nancy and Katherine Heigl in memory of a wonderful son and brother. Jason was killed in a car accident in 1986
when he was fifteen years old. Jason loved all animals, especially dogs, cats and monkeys and lived his short life extending compassion and kindness to all creatures great and small. The Foundation is his legacy built upon the boy we knew for fifteen short years.

The focus of the Foundation is to increase awareness of inhumane treatment of animals, support non-proﬁt rescue efforts, assist homeless shelter animals with rescue and medical treatment, fund and encourage free spay/neuter clinics, place rescue dogs and cats in loving homes, and educate the public about the horrors of puppy mills and dog ﬁghting.

One of our major programs, The Heigl Hounds of Hope, focuses on rescuing medium to large dogs from high-kill shelters throughout Southern California. Many have experienced abandonment, cruelty and neglect. To prepare the dogs for a new home and family we have hired a trainer to work with them on basic obedience training. At our training ranch the dogs learn all the basics needed to adjust and prepare for a new good life
with a loving family.

All our dogs are either-spayed or neutered, have been vetted, vaccinated, groomed and micro-chipped. Our adoption process requires an application, home-check and two week trial period. We are always available for questions, concerns and training needs. The adoption fee for our dogs is between $200 - $250, which is tax deductible.

Come Meet our Pets

Please contact us if you would like to meet one of our dogs. We often have mobile adoptions and we can also schedule an appointment for a private meeting.

Our Adoption Process

All of our dogs are either spayed or neutered, micro-chipped and vaccinated. The adoption process involves an application, home-check and two week trial period so you may get a real feeling for the dog in your home. During that time, and any time, we will be available for questions, concerns and training needs. You will also have access to a trainer at any time and if you decide the dog is a good fit there is a tax-deductible donation of $250 and an adoption contract.

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
