Changing Hearts Rescue

We are often asked.....What happens if one of the dogs in your rescue never finds a home? If we have a dog in our care for an extended period of time we will reach out to other rescues to help find a place that can help. This has only happened a few times. We only do this if we have exhausted all of our resources first.

WE NEED FOSTER HOMES!!!! We currently have 2 foster homes. In order for us to save animals we need many more! If you are interested in learning about becoming a foster parent please email us!


We also are in need of donations. We accept newspaper, paper towels, crates, exercise pens, dog kennels, collars, leashes, food and water dishes, dog food, cleaning supplies, etc. If you have any of these items you would like to donate please email!
