Thank You

As is the case with many animal Rescues, Hooves & Paws Rescue of the Heartland does not receive any public funding. We rely entirely on the kindness of private donors to support our mission. We would like to say, thank you to everyone that has so generously given to our Rescue.

Due to the number of animals we have been dealing with over the last few months we have fallen behind on our thank you notes. We want everyone to know we are truly grateful for your donations and the kindness you have shown us over the last few months and always. ... read more

Safe Houses Needed

We are in desperate need of Safe Houses for rescued horses and large breed dogs. We have many horses & dogs that need a place to call home until they can be adopted into forever homes. We get phone calls every day to place animals at our rescue. We never want to turn any animal away. So, if you can open you home and heart to either a horse or a large breed dog please contact us. You can help us save the life of an animal. What is a Safe House? [perma link]

Hay Donations Always Needed

Hay is needed at Hooves & Paws Rescue of the Heartland. Hay must be weed & mold free and stored indoors. Hay at a reduced price would be wonderful also. Please pass the word to those you know that may have a little extra hay and would be willing to donate a few bales. We will be happy to give you an In-Kind donation slip for any hay that is donated. We will haul -Just give us a call! [perma link]
