Happy Valentine’s Day from Helping Strays! ❤️🐾

Love was in the air yesterday and today as our staff & volunteers delivered adorable Puppy-Grams and spread joy with Rescue Readers! From wagging tails to sweet snuggles, our furry friends helped make the days extra special.

Thank you to everyone who supported these heartwarming programs—your kindness helps us care for and find loving homes for more animals in need.

Check out these sweet moments! 📸🐶💕

When you donate to our “Buy a heart, save a heart” promotion, this is the approximate cost you are helping us pay for: (a full treatment takes 4 months)

Heartworm test: about a tank of gas
Doxycycline for 30 days: lunch for 2 people
Heartworm prevention x 4 months: dinner for 2
Heartworm injections x 3: car payment
