Our mama Molly is a true sweetheart. She allows all petting and handling and did great at the vet today. She doesn’t have a mean bone in her body. She’s having at least 5 babies in the next 7 days. She’s truly so sweet and I’m so glad we will not have to release her out into the wild because we will definitely be able to find her a forever home with her awesome demeanor. She’ll never need to live on the streets again. 😻🙏🏻 Snap test came back negative so woohoo to that! She does have 1-2 broken teeth which we will help her with after she gives birth. Her left eye is permanently cloudy from a prior injury which healed. Vet said it doesn’t bother her and it’s mostly cosmetic.

She’s about 2, and super tiny. Even with all those babies, she’s not even 9 pounds so she’s going to be a tiny thing after. Let’s see what the next 7 days hold.

Little Molly has been living on the streets her whole, short life. She’s pregnant with her second, and final litter. She’s lived behind a local restaurant I go to in Mesa who has been taking care of her and her boys from her previous litter. She’s ready to have her babies any day and I don’t want her having babies on the streets again, having more unfixed cats running around.

She’s safe in cat paradise in her own hotel where it’s safe for her and her babies. Molly is tiny, yet huge at the same time. She’s maybe a year and a half tops. She does have an eye injury that we are going to take her to the vet for once the kittens can be away from her for a few hours. Looks like she might have lost vision in that eye. She’s so small that she still has the face of a kitten.

We can’t wait to watch you be an amazing mama again, little Molly. We are now on kitten watch and will keep everyone posted. (Secretly hoping for a very small litter, but her stomach says otherwise)

She will be fixed once able to, have all her shots, snap tested, and microchipped and then be ready for her forever home, where she will be an indoor cat forever.

Start thinking of cute kitten names because we are on kitten watch!

Oh sweetest Parker, I’m already so in love with you ❤️

Today has been a fun field day. Woke up this morning around 4am to this sweet little girl not wanting to give me the time of day. That’s ok, I’m patient. I let her out of her kennel, and she immediately went and stood in front of Rigby‘s kennel, and just stared at him with her tail wagging so that’s when I got the genius idea of doing slow introductions with him . I know, very soon, but it was a match made in heaven. She turned into a totally different dog, and was so happy with her tail up and wagging, and they were playing amazing but every time we made eye contact, she tucked her tail and ran away from me.

So I continued doing introductions with the other dogs and she became even happier. Around 10:15am, We were all sitting outside on the patio, most of us on the couch, and she came and stood right in front of me, and just stared at me in the eyes. Here’s my opportunity. I stared back for a little bit and started to pet her gently and wouldn’t you know, that tail went crazy. It lasted a good five minutes and I knew we were friends at that point. I had gained her trust. From that point on, she would not leave my side. She had that amazing pittie smile we all lived at all times. I have turned into her person and I’m so glad she trusts me. she’s the sweetest girl and so loving. This scared girl actually loves people when she feels safe. She is still very apprehensive about strangers, although auntie Christina came over today, with some cookies again, and it didn’t even take her five minutes to gain Parker‘s trust.

We went to the vet this afternoon and luckily we were given good information. She has bad allergies that are totally treatable. YAY! They in fact are not burn marks. She just has bad allergies to the point her entire body is pretty much flaking, so she is on antibiotics and she also has a UTI Which the antibiotics will help with. She was given a medicated shampoo and stuff to put in her ears. She’s one big, scaly pittie with typical pittie allergies. She’s 55 pounds of muscle and Dr. Robinson said she’s in great health. She’s probably going into heat any minute, so we need to work fast to get this girl fixed.

Thank you so much to everyone that donated for her care. She’s turned out to be the most lovable pittie and my new sidekick. She has a potential Foster Home that we are communicating with and will certainly keep everyone updated about that and for when she’s ready for her new home, because this girl deserves the world.

One thing I know for certain, it is a requirement that she go home to a home with other dogs, because she is a totally different dog when the dogs are around. She actually seeks guidance from them and learns from them, and she thrives off their presence. She goes from a scared girl around new people to much more trusting and happy when the dogs are around her with new people. It didn’t take me long to gain her trust and I know her people are going to experience that same thing.

She’s kennel trained, looks to be potty trained but did have some accidents in her kennel at the finders house, but has only gone outside at my house. Big and small dog friendly, and I have yet to hear her bark. She loves her dog beds, and hasn’t met a man yet she doesn’t like. Parker doesn’t have a mean bone in her body. She’s just a scared 2 year old who probably spent a lot of time in her kennel as she runs in there the second you let her inside.

Say hello to my new best friend Parker! Foster mama loves you already little hippo ❤️🐶 never lose your sparkle

Hi, I’m Morgan, the crazy animal lady behind I Heart Rescue! I strive to be as personable as possible and want to keep this rescue small and community based. I want to save babies, but not take on too many at a time where we are not giving each and everyone one exactly what they need and more.

I promise to be an advocate for the voiceless.
I promise to be active in our community when there are homeless animals that need our help.
I promise to save as many as we can, and if we do not have the space, we will provide resources.
I promise to always do my best for the babes and put them first.
I promise to communicate with my fosters and provide them with everything they need to support their foster babies.
I promise to always be transparent and realistic with the good, the bad, and the ugly about our babies so we can always find the best fit for them and their potential family.
I promise to be open to advice and it is very welcomed, explore new avenues, and step out of my comfort zone because this isn’t about me. It’s about the babies, so I promise to do everything I have to for the sake of the babies.

Today, Rigby and I went on an adventure to Petco in Chandler to meet a gem of a woman, Judi. She saw one of our posts online and wanted to take us to Petco on a shopping spree to fill some happy bellies. Needless to say, we are good on food for a while for both the kitties and the puppies. Thank you so much Judi for your continuous effort to help the animal community both in Arizona and Indiana. You are so appreciated by so many and the world needs more people like you who are true animal lovers.

225 pounds of hard dog food
120 cans of dog food
48 pounds of cat food
48 cans of soft cat food
160 pounds of cat litter

From myself (Morgan), our fosters, and all of our rescue babies, we are so grateful! And might I say, Rigby did amazing with everyone he met. Our sleepy boy took a few naps while foster mommy was shopping, but he loved everyone he met. Not a peep out of his mouth, just love and naps.

Wow thank you everyone that volunteered! You are all so appreciated! Transport found 🙂

TRANSPORT NEEDED FOR KENNELS

We have an amazing woman who is willing to donate five large kennels for us and she’s located at 35th street and Thunderbird. I was wondering if anyone lived in the area that could possibly pick them up for us and bring them to Mesa, mckellips and Stapley? I’m happy to provide gas money. They will not all fit in my Kia.

YOU ARE ALL SO APPRECIATED!!! we actually have a ton of things that are being donated that we could desperately use and this week is swamped for me so if anybody has a couple extra minutes in their day that can maybe pick some stuff up and drop it off or at Le bring it to their house so I can pick it up at a later time, that would help me out tremendously. We have a couple dogsand cats coming into the rescue this week

FOSTER WANTED!!!!

Meet sweet Stella 🐶❤️
Stella was found a week ago abandoned in a park. She was so scared that it took the finders 2 1/2 hours to convince her that they were safe and she could go with them. They immediately took her to the vet to scan her microchip and luckily she was chipped. Unfortunately, or fortunately, Stella‘s owner did not want her back . It appears that he was the one that abandoned her in the park and he would not take her back. The finders work very long days, so Stella is currently kenneled for an extensive amount of time. They have a dog of their own that is very dog aggressive, so Stella is being kept separate from their dog. Stella shows a lot of interest in the resident dog and wants to play, but for her safety, she needs to be kept separate. Right now she spends upwards of 12 hours a day kenneled due to their work scheduled so we would love to find Stella a foster or forever home.

From the finder:
Stella likes tennis balls for toys and chicken treats. Feels safe in a crate for sleeping. Loves belly rubs and ear scratches.

She is timid and scared at first until she knows you are not a threat. We have introduced her to our daughter by tossing treats closer and closer till she knows you are safe. And after will rub on you and give kisses. Does spook easily in which she will tuck her tail, ears back and cower but if you tell her she is ok she is quick to come out of it.

Very loving and calm. Basic training as far as I can see. Knows sit, stay, walks well on a leash. was not reactive to other dogs when we went to the vet to have her scanned and when on walks. Haven’t seen her around kids up close but when we walk and kids are playing in the park she isn’t phased. Is good around both males and females as far as we can see. My husband, daughter and I are around her with no issues.

She’s 3.5 years old, 35-40 pounds, and needs a home where she will feel safe and be loved.

If you are interested in fostering, Stella, or even adopting her, please do comment on our post, and or send us a message

Kiki says PICK ME!!!!
She’s certainly ready for her forever home where she will have a playmate. Her foster brother Pac-Man and her love each other and she loves playing with Miss Zoey but she’s ready for a family of her own. Two weeks ago, she was 30 pounds and she’s definitely put on weight since. We would hate for her to get out of Puppy stage before she finds her forever home, so please please share to help Miss Kiki find her forever home. She is approaching four months old, very dog, friendly, kennel trained, and house trained and even goes into her kennel on her own when she’s ready to take a nap. She loves people and would even do well in an apartment if she’s able to get out for walks multiple times a day.

Cute video in the comments. Be sure to check out her other posts on our page!

FOSTER WANTED

this babe was found in tonopah which is a dumping ground for dogs. She’s been heavily breeded, teeth are filed down. She’s not potty trained at all and will need someone to show her the ropes.

Vet estimates her to be around 4 years old. Not chipped or fixed. Finder has had her since January and is moving into a new build. There is no fence around the house and she would be kenneled all day outside.

Can you show this sweet mama the ropes so we can get her the vet care she needs so she never has babies again and never gets mistreated.

04/01/2024

Whenever a new cat comes into kitty paradise, it takes them time to acclimate. They are scared. New surrounding. They hide for a few days. New kitties around them. It’s a whole new life for them.

Well late last night, this happened with PUMPKIN!!! Our pretty boy is finally fully out of his shell and acting just like he did when he lived with his mommy. We love you sweet boy. A true, talkative flame point Siamese! This tells me he’s definitely ready for his forever home and wants long conversations with his people 😻

Auntie Christina came by to visit with cookies for everyone. Needless to say, everyone loved them and asked for seconds. She’s going to start making dog cookies and having the sales be donated to various rescues. I’ll post more as I know but I can say for certain, the dogs loved her cookies!!! Thank you so much for always loving and fighting for the rescue and shelter dogs. You do so much for the animal community.

A huge huge huge thank you to Arizona Unwicked • Wickless Candles & Melts for doing a fundraiser for Daisy. All sales last weekend were donated to our rescue for a huge total of $400! We are so eternally grateful!
I ordered a wickless candle myself, the love spell scent, and oh man is it good. These aren’t your everyday candles. They are strong and if you have a house full of dogs like myself, they make a huge difference! Well worth the money and they are only $12/13 each! Cheaper than yankee candle and so much better! Heidi Hazel is local to Phoenix as well. Help support small business ❤️🐶

I can’t understand why no one is interested in Rigby. He’s the most amazing boy and so good with small and big dogs. Daisy jumps alllllll over him and he doesn’t care. He’s just a big, 70 pound love bug who is a couch potato. Cute video in the comments of the rare moments Rigby is playful ❤️🐶

03/31/2024

Hey pretty lady, are you single? Because I’m looking for a new girlfriend. My name is pumpkin and I’m quite the ladies man. It’s obvious I’m the most handsome man on the block which nobody can deny. I’m two years young and love people and cats. My mommy found me when I was a kitten at the Humane Society but unfortunately is not able to care for me anymore even though she loves you more than anything in this world. I’m quite the catch because I am fixed, up-to-date on shots, and have a microchip. They say I could use a rabies shot but that’s completely up to you if you want to give me one. Although I’ve never had a long walk on a beach, I love long, deep conversations about everything and anything. I will talk your head off once I’m comfortable. I’m not a picky eater and will eat everything and anything especially soft food. I’m shy at the beginning as I’m getting used to my new surroundings but once I get comfortable, I’m your new best friend. I like to be held and cuddled and did I mention I love to talk? So if you’re looking for a new handsome man in your life, I would love to be him. I promise to love you forever with everything I have, and be the best nighttime cuddle buddy on those long cold nights.

If you’d like to meet me, please contact my foster mommy. Check out my other pictures and videos in the comments. Flame point Siamese.

Afternoon at casa Morgan

Daisy is so dog reliant. She definitely loves the boys and Chloe.
Rigby on the other hand is so tolerant of her as she’s always climbing all over him. Just the most calm 1 year old shepherd I’ve ever met.
We have a new baby in kitty paradise, Pumpkin. He’s a beautiful 2 year old Siamese mixed with orange. He’s a darling. Took him Some Time to come out of his shell but he’s doing amazing!

Pickles is also our dog friendly pup. He must go to a home with other dogs as he loves to play and cuddle with them. Also one year old.

03/30/2024

Daisy can definitely hang with the big boys. She loves to rough house. The princess has a meet and greet tomorrow! Woohoo!

This Cutie- Patootie is KIKI. She was found all alone at a school yard, then unfortunately ended up at the County Pound. Not a place for a young, sweet, scared puppy to be. KIKI’s days were numbered and that’s when I Heart Rescue stepped in to save her. We are so glad we did! KIKI is just a PUPPY, born approximately 12/21/23. She weighs @ 30lbs already, still has her puppy teeth, big paws, a solid body and lots of room to grow! We believe KIKI is a Black Mouth Cur mix. If you are not familiar with the breed, please check them out online.
KIKI is a super nice pup! She isn’t hyper like most puppies but does love her playtime and chill time! She is also not a very needy puppy and doesn’t mind doing her own thing sometimes. KIKI really love to play with the 9 month old puppy and 2 1/2 year old dogs at her foster home. They love to play chase, tug and wrestle. Toys, sticks, palm fronds, paws is all fair game. The senior dog in the foster home is 12 yrs old and she is very respectful of him…..coming up on occasion to lick his lips and listen to him. KIKI would probably be fine with another playful dog or a solo dog, as long as she’s getting all the love and attention she deserves.
KIKI is learning the doggie door and is also learning to potty on command. This will need to be reinforced in her new home. She sleeps in her kennel at nighttime quietly and even goes into the kennel on her own just to chill. KIKI is a quiet dog and the only barks at her foster home are play barks.
For a bigger, young puppy - it’s very nice that she’s not gnawing on your hands, not jumping up and stays off of furniture. For these reasons, she may be a good match with kids!
KIKI is going to bring so much love to her new family……could you be the one?
KIKI’s adoption fee is $400 which includes that she is spayed, up to date on shots (to age) and microchipped.
If you are interested in KIKI, please contact

Sometimes I have to remind myself that we are not just here for the animals, but people as well.

I met the sweetest soul tonight named Anne. She came over to adopt Charlie after seeing his post on Ocotilo friends and she knew he was meant to be her baby. Anne shared with me that her 7 year old recently passed away from cancer and she was missing that snuggly kitty who comes with unconditional love. And let me tell you, Charlie is ever much so a snuggly kitty who loves with everything in him. He thinks he’s a newborn infant and wants to be held constantly.

It was an instant connection, and I swear their souls were aligned. It was truly meant to be. Charlie needs someone who is going to give him snuggles 24/7 and be treated like a little baby, and Anne needs Charlie to be the snuggly love her heart desires.

Tonight, we didn’t just find a cat a home where he will be loved more than I could ever imagine; we made a woman heartbroken over the loss of her soul kitty somewhat whole again. While Charlie will never replace her baby, he will give her a new kind of love.

This is why we do what we do. It’s not just about the animals. It’s about the people as well.

Happy life to you Charlie boy. I’ll see you in a week. It’s been a pleasure and I’m going to miss our long conversations. Give your mama all the love she needs and more ❤️

Who is back to her happy go lucky self? Our Daisy girl!
Amazing what three doses of the right meds can do. She had a rock under her chin that was an inch and a half wide and probably an inch thick, and it’s almost gone! She was just so swollen. Her eyes are finally open and gosh are they such a beautiful shade of green. We’re hoping all the fur on her face grows back, but there’s a chance that some of it might not, and that’s OK because it will give her personality more than she already has.

She’s running around like a lunatic, on the bed, off the bed, and wanting to play so badly. She’s still on isolation, but, my Chloe is on doxy for mycoplasma as well, so I did let her play with Chloe for a bit and she had a blast. Daisy is incredibly playful and loves to run around. She takes cues from other dogs and when they tell her they are done, she’s respectful of it. That tail never stops wagging.

Forever grateful to Dr Robinson at Curem Veterinary Care, Dr. Egar at Follow Your Heart Animal Hospital and each and every single one of Daisy’s Darlings for sending good vibes her way. She’s such a trooper!

Her newest addictions are bones and bully sticks, and I’m out of both, so time to get some from Amazon since I’m sick myself and cannot go anywhere. I did give her time outside in the backyard today by herself so she could run around and she loved every minute of it. She has been in the basement and I’ve been carrying her, but today she zoomed up the stairs all on her own! Not scared of stairs ✔️ She’s been talking a lot more and trying to get the attention of the other dogs. Her little bark is so cute but she definitely can bark.
I’m so excited for her journey to continue but I’m not ready for her to go anywhere yet. 😭 This girl has definitely left a mark on my heart. I love you to the moon and back little baby cow.

11 - 12 weeks old and 17 pounds

And just like that, negative for distemper. She has puppy strangles, mycoplasma and herpes but all very treatable 🙏🏻

Daisy will be feeling better in no time. We sure are glad we didn’t listen to some people in rescue by putting her down for suspected distemper.

We love you Daisy girl!

Our little Jade, now Lumi, who is also a boy, Not the girl we thought he was, is doing amazing in Foster to adopt. Look how much fun he’s having in his beautiful home. You can definitely tell how much mom and dad love him from this video.

Not to toot my own horn, but I’m so blessed to find the most amazing homes for our babies ❤️😻❤️😻

03/25/2024

Daisy’s darlings - we have an update! (Yes, I’ve given you all a name since you’re all following her story 🐶❤️)

Dr. Egar at FYH was amazing. He would like to wait for the test results to come back to be certain. We are changing up her antibiotic for now and once we have a definitive, then we will proceed with treatment because there’s a couple different things that could be including puppy strangles, but we won’t know for certain we get the test results for distemper, but he’s expecting the results to come back negative!!! Woohoo!!!

A couple more days girly and we will have some more answers and a treatment plan.
Tiny little thing is going to make it. Not losing you on my watch babygirl!!

We would like to take a few of these guys in but need fosters. They are Great Danes so they will be huge and are already really big!
