🐾Breed-Specific Rescue

Every One of Them.
Every Single One.

We pull one breed from shelters, surrenders, and backyard situations β€” wash off the mange, mend the broken legs, and place every dog in a home that actually gets them.

Got a spare crate?

That's all it takes to start. We handle the vet bills, you handle the love.

The Process

From shelter kennel
to someone's everything.

01
🚐

We pull from the list

Every week, breed coordinators scan shelter intake lists across six states. When we see one of ours, we move. No waiting, no committees β€” someone drives that day.

02
🩺

We fix what's broken

Full vet workup, vaccinations, spay/neuter, dental, parasite treatment. If they have mange, we treat it. If they have a broken leg, we set it. We don't cut corners.

03
🏠

We find the right home

Not just a home β€” the right one. We match on lifestyle, energy level, experience, and living situation. We ask the hard questions so the dog doesn't bounce again.

Real Stories

The part we do this for.

Happy golden dog sitting next to its owners in their living room
β€œWe'd had the breed before, so we thought we knew what we were getting into. We had no idea. Hearth matched us with Biscuit in three days, and the behavioral brief they sent was so accurate I thought they'd been living in our house.”

Behavioral issues we weren't warned about

Young woman laughing with her energetic dog in a park
β€œI was a first-time dog owner. Terrified, honestly. The Hearth team didn't just hand me a dog β€” they gave me a folder, a hotline number, and a WhatsApp group that answered my 2am panic texts about whether she was breathing weird.”
