About HEART

We are HEART (Happily Ever After Rescue Team). We are based out of the Tropical island of Guam (US Territory in the Pacific).
Guam is overrun with large stray population that is estimated about 1:2 stray to human ratio. Our strays are referred to as Boonie dogs and cats affectionately. The Boonie dogs are mixed breeds with a history of K9 unit descendants from WWII, greyhounds, and small breeds such as corgis. Most Boonie dogs are average size or what we call “low-rider” with an average body and shorter legs. Boonies make some of the best pets ever. They are survivors with lots of energy and love to give. They are great dogs to train and do well with positive reinforcement. With a mixture of some great canine genes, they have some of the best temperaments around.
We help support the Guam Boonies and work to educate the local population on animal welfare and stray population reduction.
It is very hard to adopt out animals here on the island, so we occasionally work to raise money and help bring Boonies to those in the mainland looking for a tropical island pal.

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.
