About Heartstrings Dog Rescue
Heartstrings Dog Rescue is a labor of love fully supported by volunteers and donations to save dogs in southern shelters, who otherwise could be euthanized due to lack of space in overcrowded and underfunded shelter conditions. Rescue founder, Jackie Kraemer, started Heartstrings Dog Rescue with the mission of "one dog at a time." We rescue, provide vetting, transport, foster, training (when needed) for dogs that could have been euthanized, or died as strays on the streets.
We also have taken in cruelty cases and rehabilitated them through our loving fosters and trainers. Our mission is also to continue to grow public awareness of this epidemic in the South.
Additionally, we work to grow awareness of the horrible puppy mills in our state and work to reduce the demand for dogs in those conditions, by rescuing highly adoptable dogs that need homes from other states. We advocate for animal welfare both here and in several states that need our help!

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
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, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
