Our cute Westie mix, Bernie,  we rescued from the shelter, already had a skin condition that seemed to have not been treated for a long time. Poor girl had dark, thick skin, fur loss, ye**ty smell and sticky skin. We discovered Westies are prone to skin issues, a condition called Westie Armadillo Syndrome, also known as “epidermal dysplasia”.It is caused by a genetic mutation in the DNA that prevents the skin from growing properly. This skin growth results in itchy and thickened skin that can cause skin folds in various areas of the body. This is caused by, or aggravated by, an overgrowth of the naturally occurring yeast “Malassezia”. We took her to a dermatologist and the doctor said she also had 3 other bacterial infections including a staph infection. She is being treated with 4 medications, allergy 
Cytopoint shots, a few supplements and medicated baths 1 - 2 times a week until her condition improves. She also has to go to the doctor about once a month for re-checks and lab work to see how the medication is helping. To date, she is doing better and her skin looks healthier, her fur is growing and the bacterial infections have resolved, but she will still need to see the doctor about once a month until she doesn’t and will be on medication for life. We have had to change
some of her medications since she started getting weird growths on her skin. We hope these new medications help to continue
 her improvement and will continue to search for the right combo for Bernie’s success cause this sweet little girl deserves it!

It is with great sadness that we had to say goodbye to sweet Burt. He passed away Saturday morning from heart failure. He was surrounded by family that loved and cared for him from the 1st day they agreed to foster him. We appreciate all they did for him, especially the last few months while he struggled from heart disease. Burt loved them as much as they did him. Rest in peace lil guy. We will miss you😢💔🌈

Our little senior poodle mix Roma developed a tumor on her lower lip. It was biopsied, and the results did show it was a melanoma. She is going in today to get it removed and we are hoping it is not the spreadable type. She also has a fistula (hole)  on her upper left gum due to a tooth falling and not closing. They will be closing that also We are asking for good wishes and prayers for Roma

Burt, our little 9 year old Chihuahua, was diagnosed with an enlarged heart and hypertension at the beginning of the year. It started with a constant cough, heavy breathing and enlarged mid-section. We took him to a cardiologist, and he said basically his whole heart is affected and not much can be done, just keep him comfortable and well cared for. He is on 8 medications as well as on a special low sodium food diet and supplements. He has to go to the doctor every 3 to 6 months for re-checks and lab work to make sure the medication is not affecting other vital organs. As of now, he sometimes struggles with his breathing and coughing, but he eats and drinks fine and is active, although he needs to rest most of the time. Mr. Burt is a fighter and thriving through all of this.. His foster family is lovingly taking great care of him and his needs, and never hesitated to be there for him. We thank and appreciate them for being there for Burt.
Please send lots of good wishes and prayers to Burt.

Evie has grown I to a beautiful, gray 1 year old girl. She is friendly and does not get scared of strangers. This little lady is very independent and, although fostered with other cats and a dog, we believe she would thrive as a single pet. She is sweet, loves to talk, and is well behaved. Evie is not much of a cuddler but she likes to sleep with you at night. She also loves to eat and is absolutely obsessed with black hairbands.
She is so ready for her forever family. She is up to date on vaccines, spayed and microchipped.  If you think she is a cutie and want more information on her, email us at [email protected]. If you would like to put in an application, go to heartandhomerecue.org.

Happy 4th of July!

As we celebrate this special day, we want to remind everyone to keep their furry friends safe and secure. Fireworks and loud noises can be very frightening for animals. Please ensure they are indoors and have a quiet, comfortable space to retreat to.

Thank you for your continued support, and have a wonderful and safe holiday!

Leon got ready for his 4th of July morning walk. Patriotic hat and jersey on, we were on our way. Sun was out but there was a cool breeze this morning. We did stop at a shady tree for a quick rest. We also made a stop at the Hip Hound store in Covina. They had a cute cabana display and we couldn't resist taking pictures. Leon liked it. They have lots of great items for your pets, so make sure you come and check it out! They are on Instagram too. Leon got some treats and water there and then we were on our way back home for some relaxation. We are now ready for the night fireworks and excitement! Stay safe.
🇺🇲🎆🎉 HAPPY 4TH OF JULY! 🎉🎇🇺🇸

Kittens, Kittens, Kittens!

These 3 little kittens were brought over to the foster’s home by their mom. The foster took in the mom and kittens, cared for them and now the kittens are ready for their forever homes. They are eight weeks in these pictures, so born in April 2024. The mom looks to be a siamese and calico mix. As you can see, one kitten is a siamese tabby mix weighing in at 3.2lbs and is male. The calico tabby mix is a female weighing in at 2.3lbs. The orange tabby mix is male and weighs 2.8lbs.
They are eating on their own, learning to go in the litter box and have had their 1st vaccines. They are socialized to humans and the foster has small dogs. They are very playful, curious and too cute! If anyone is interested in adopting one of these adorable kittens, email us at [email protected]. We will send you the adoption process. Foster-to-adopt is also an option.

Hello. Cute Max is still looking for his  forever home. He is a 2 years old, 45 lbs terrier mix.  He is looking for a patient,  active family that likes walks, playing fetch, dog parks and giving him lots of attention. They have to like kisses and cuddles and giving him lots of toys to play with. If they are willing to give him treats and attention for training, then he is willing to learn.

He is fostered with toddlers and older children, but needs supervision around the toddlers when around them since he forgets his size. He also has foster doggies to play with and keep him company.

 Max is up to date on vaccines, neutered and microchipped. If you are interested in giving Max a home, email us at [email protected].

Oh Shiloh! This pup likes to chase flies, birds and bees. Can't catch the 1st two, but apparently bees he can. Today he got a bee and had an allergic reaction to it. Gave him benadryl to slow the reaction and rushed him to the doctor. This is the 2nd time he had a bee reaction. Luckily, per the doctor, as he gets older his immune system should be able to fight the sting venom. Doctor gave him an allergy and steroid shot and meds for home. Shiloh is getting back to normal. Hoping he won't be tempted to catch more bees!
If you would like to or can donate to his bee sting bill, we would greatly appreciate your generous help. No amount is too small.

Here are some cute pics of our ginger furred Chihuahua, Maple. She is doing well. Maples likes to lounge about on her favorite spot on the sofa, right by the window, or sit right next to you once you have settled on the couch or in bed. She is still not a fan of being touched without permission by new, but once she is comfortable with them, she will allow pets on her terms or even ask for them. Being picked up is still hard, but with a blanket and some patience, it can be done. Due to past trauma, she still does not like leashes, collars, and harnesses, and therefore doesn’t go on walks but does enjoy following her human around very much. Maple is fostered with other dogs and does well with them, although she tries to be the alpha dog sometimes. Some of them have encouraged her to play with them. She enjoys her space, her treats, her window spot, and her person.

If you would like to know more about Maple, email us at [email protected].
