Brave Hearts Rescue

Animal rescue in Grand Rapids, MI

We are a 501(c)(3) animal rescue organization. Our mission is to save the lives of homeless and at-risk pets by providing them with safety, compassionate care, and a path to loving forever homes. We are dedicated to rescuing animals in need, offering them medical attention, rehabilitation, and the love they deserve. Through community education, advocacy, and responsible adoption, we strive to create a world where every pet has a second chance at a happy, fulfilling life.
Our Goals:
- Rescue & Rehabilitation: Save homeless, abandoned, and abused animals, providing them with necessary medical care and emotional support.
- Adoption & Forever Homes: Match pets with responsible, loving families through a thorough and compassionate adoption process.
- Spay & Neuter Initiatives: Reduce pet overpopulation by promoting and facilitating spay/neuter programs.
- Community Education: Raise awareness about responsible pet ownership, animal welfare, and the importance of adoption.
- Foster Network Development: Build a strong community of foster homes to provide temporary care and socialization for rescued pets.
- Advocacy & Partnerships: Collaborate with shelters, veterinarians, and community organizations to expand our impact.
- Emergency Rescue & Support: Respond to urgent situations, including natural disasters and cases of neglect or abuse, to provide immediate aid.
- Long-Term Care for Special Needs Pets: Ensure that senior, disabled, or medically complex animals receive the care they need, whether in adoptive homes or lifelong sanctuary care.


How We Do It:
We operate through a dedicated network of volunteers, foster families, and community partners who share our passion for saving lives. Our rescue efforts begin with identifying and removing animals from high-risk situations, such as overcrowded shelters, unsafe living conditions, or abandonment. Once rescued, every pet receives necessary veterinary care, vaccinations, spay/neuter procedures, and behavioral support to prepare them for adoption. We rely on foster homes to provide a safe and loving environment while we work to match each animal with their perfect forever family. Through adoption events, outreach programs, and strong partnerships, we ensure our pets find responsible, caring homes. Additionally, we educate the public on humane treatment, and offer resources to help pet owners keep their animals happy and healthy. Our mission is fueled by generosity—whether through donations, volunteering, or simply spreading awareness—every effort brings us closer to a world where no pet is left behind.
