Our Community

We Believe Every
Animal Has Worth.

Founded in 2015 by a small group of passionate animal lovers in response to an overcrowded local shelter, Heartfelt Fund has grown from a grassroots effort into a structured, accredited nonprofit organization with a national reach.

Our team of dedicated veterinarians, professional volunteers, and foster families work together every day to give every rescued animal the medical care, nutrition, and affection they deserve.
