Hearts of Hope Dog Rescue
"Saving the life of one animal may not change the world, but the world will surely change for that one animal"
Hearts of Hope Dog Rescue is a non-profit organization made up of dedicated volunteer foster families fighting to change the lives of homeless dogs of all ages, breeds and health until there are none.
Hearts of Hope Dog Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dog rescue located in Grand Rapids, MI. It was founded by Director, Janelle McFarlane November 23, 2011. Our rescue dogs are provided with the best possible vet care, a safe place to stay and the love they deserve. We do not have a shelter facility. Our volunteer foster homes take these wonderful dogs into their homes until we find their forever families.
Pet overpopulation is a global crisis. Our local animal shelters are full of wonderful dogs that just need more time and help finding the right home. Many of our dogs come from these local county shelters. Hearts of Hope strives to help as many dogs as possible. If we are able, we will help. We know we can’t save them all, but it matters to the ones we can save.
Hearts of Hope Dog Rescue is a non-profit organization made up of dedicated volunteer foster families fighting to change the lives of homeless dogs of all ages, breeds and health until there are none.
Our organization is devoted to helping homeless unwanted dogs and works diligently to find them loving forever homes where they can happily live out the rest of their lives.

Doug was looking for a dog who was great with people, other dogs, cats, chickens, and ducks. He was surprised to learn the best man for the job was a "pitbull" type dog but the moment he met Morgan (aka Mo) he knew he was the perfect one. Thanks for being being a breed ambassador Mo and thanks to Doug for giving him his best life!

🥰We love it when we get adoption updates! 🥰
"Just wanted to share a cute photo of little Velvet. We are having so much fun with her. She loves her nature strolls. She loves baked sweet potatoes and steamed broccoli as a snack. Her kitty sisters are slowly adjusting to her and love walking on the counters to play keep away with her. Thanks for all that you do!!" -- The Opheralls

Alright, we’re about to give you some unsolicited, free advice. We are aware that usually comes across as criticism but this is different. You should adopt a senior pet. Immediately. As fast as you can. Like yesterday. You will never do anything more rewarding in your life. Look at these sweet, senior pups we have available. We’re here to tell you, don’t sleep on a senior. You’ll be missing out. And as a bonus, the amazing people at @stellaandchewys are reimbursing the adoption fees of all senior pets during the month of November. Everyone wins. Learn more about these great dogs at the link in our bio. ❤️

Puppies often get a ton of applications when we post them for adoption, and it can be very difficult to choose between several really good applications. Roy Kent was no exception but there was something about this family that was just the perfect fit. Roy is already loved by his new family and loving the start of his forever!❤️

November is Adopt A Senior Pet month … and Nellie is still looking for a home where she can look at YOU adoringly. Nellie is happiest when she is with her person, reading a book, watching tv, belting out show tunes together, or whatever else she can join you in. She LOVES her people … and hotdogs … she also loves hotdogs. Learn more about Nellie at the link in our bio!

Oh sweet, sweet Dottie. She came to us pregnant and unsure about the world. She eventually had 10 puppies, but despite the best efforts of fantastic vets and their foster mama none of her puppies survived. And if that wasn’t hard enough, Dottie started crashing, too. We think we have figured it out with the help of great vets and are hopeful about her recovery. But as of yesterday, her vet bills were already over $4,000 and that doesn’t include her emergency visit last night. These are the dogs that many rescues can’t take because they cannot take on the medical bills. These are dogs we say yes to because we have amazing friends who donate and allow us to say yes. So we are asking today …. If you can help, we would appreciate it. And please keep Dottie and her foster family in your thoughts … she’s not out of the woods yet.

We’ve recently taken in several dogs who are terrified and unsure about the world right now. So for this #wishlistwednesday we are asking for some donations of calming treats and other supplies to help with their decompression. If you are able to help, we would be very grateful and so would they. You can find the links to our Amazon and Chewy wishlists in our bio.

Jessica and Charles are just two of our many adoptable pets who will be honored to carry on the love Kaitlyn Perta had for rescue dogs. Following Kaitlyn's passing, her family has chosen to honor her and her kind spirit through donations made to our dogs in her memory. We ask that you all keep Kaitlyn's loved ones in your thoughts, prayers, and well wishes during this difficult time. And to Kaitlyn, we promise to save more lives as a legacy to yours. May you rest in peace.

When our resident dog model and all around good boy, Flynn, met Brendan and Chelsea, he immediately knew he was home.
He already loves his new back yard and can’t wait to meet all of his new dog friends and family!
