Welcome to the Homepage of Paws to Heart Rescue.

Paws to Heart Rescue is a non profit, all breed, foster home based dog and cat rescue serving the Greater Philadelphia area. We rely on foster homes to take care of the animals in our care until we find them a home.  Many of the animals we rescue come from open admission shelters where they were at risk of being euthanized either due to space, time, or illness. We are always in need of additional cat and dog fosters to be able to rescue and rehome more.

Pet of the Week. Meet Ted!

We found Ted at the local open admission shelter trembling so much in his cage. He came up to our volunteer and she just couldn't put him back. Ted warmed up quickly. He is such a sweet little dog and is about 10 years old. Loves going for walks and treats. Gets along with little dogs, likes to play, and is fine with the cat in the home. He loves snuggling up inside a pile of warm laundry but really, what Chihuahua doesn't? :) Ted really wants someone to just snuggle up to all the time. Would be perfect in a home with another small dog or cat or just someone who is looking for a sweet, little lap dog. He is very special and gentle soul.

Paws to Heart Rescue helps to ensure that pets in our community do not have to go hungry or be placed in an already crowded shelter. We strive to help pet parents to keep their pets even in tough financial times. If you or someone you know is in a crisis and needs assistance feeding their pet, help is available.
