Hearts for Homeless Pets
2023-01-23 - 2023-02-14 | Heritage Humane Society
Open Your Heart! Jan. 23 through Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14), we hope you’ll participate in our Hearts for Homeless Pets campaign by buying paper hearts to show your love for pets! You can customize your heart with a pet lover’s name(s), pet’s name(s), or a special message. By remembering your pets and special pet-lovers with a heart, you are also remembering our homeless ones awaiting adoption! All donations are tax-deductible and will directly benefit the pets at Heritage Humane Society.
For the many pets in our care, we are so incredibly grateful for your support.
