h unique needs in life—and, our animals are no different. Nicola Hill-Solomon (Founder/ Executive Director)
Nicola Hill-Solomon is the Founder and Executive Director of Heart of Glass. This rescue is based on the philosophy that ALL animals deserve a life filled with love, respect, and acceptance. A vegan since childhood, Nicola has made caring for and protecting animals her way of life. From saving every creature in need since childhood, to seven years managing at the Providence Animal Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, she has relentlessly fought for misfit animals for over 30 years. Nicola lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with her husband and fellow board member Victor and their multiple furry children.

The donations will also allow us to help more animals in need here, as well as overseas. Thomas Humane Society).

Have you met Lucky? 🍀

This little guy has such a big personality! Lucky came to us from our partners with three other kittens at just 8 weeks old. We were so happy to see all the other kittens get adopted but poor Lucky is still waiting! 💔

Soon, Lucky will be turning one! He has spent the last couple of months in a wonderful foster home with who has been learning more and more about his personality and helping him adjust to home life. 🏡

Lucky is learning to be a cuddler, he loves asking for attention, he sleeps in the funniest positions, he enjoys his play time, and even runs on our foster’s kitty wheel! 😺

This special boy deserves a home of his very own and what would be a better way to celebrate his birthday?! 🎉 Let’s find Lucky his happily ever after. Do you want to add a new member to your family this year? Lucky is your guy! Email us to learn more! 💌

Our new furnace is up and running! 🥰

The kids are safe and warm and we will have a nice cozy winter thanks to all of you! We can’t say enough how blown away we were with the outpouring of love and support from our community. 💕

So much love and thanks to TL Reed and Joshua Reed for coming to diagnose the furnace issue, replacing it, and donating your time, hard work, and expertise to ensure our safety. This would not have been possible without your generosity. 💖

Thank you to Biggies Bullies, Harmony Dog Rescue, and Faith Fera Furline and Dan for the much needed donations as we navigated this problem. Your help was so greatly appreciated as we were awaiting our new furnace. 💙💜

And to YOU- thank you for donating to our fundraiser, sharing our posts, telling your friends, checking in on us, and ultimately caring so much about our furry kids. Our supporters absolutely exemplify what it means to be a community. We love you! 🖤

We are so saddened by the news of the wildfires in California. Countless people and their families are being displaced and we are so heartbroken to hear about the loss of lives as people try to flee these uncontrollable fires.

We hope everyone, including friends and family members living in the affected areas, can stay safe and healthy. If you want to help individuals or organizations in the area, please check out the link to an LA Times article in our bio.

A couple of organizations that we would like to shout out starts with who is currently providing emergency boarding for displaced pets and as of yesterday, had taken in over 300 animals. They are also providing veterinary care for animals who have been injured by the fire. Their staff and volunteers are working around the clock to ensure safety for these poor animals.

We also would like to mention which is a network of fosters in LA who regularly work tirelessly with their community to provide safe havens for dogs awaiting their forever homes. They are currently organizing to provide safe temporary foster homes for dogs displaced by the fires. Please consider donating to one of these organizations or spreading the word!

We wanna give the biggest shoutout to the folks at Hollywood Feed- Southside Works for putting up an angel tree for us in the month of December! 🎄 We were blown away by the participation from the customers and the sheer amount of donations we received thanks to your generosity! 💕

Reese and the staff have been so helpful and enthusiastic about our rescue and we have loved working side by side with all of them. We can’t express how heartwarming it was to have a car packed so full of food, treats, chews, toys, collars, and more! Our kids are loving them! 🥰

Keep an eye out for some more special collaborations coming soon! 👀

🎉THANK YOU, EVERYONE! 🎉

Where to begin?! Thank you just doesn’t begin to express how grateful we are for all of you. We reached our fundraising goal in ONE DAY to get our furnace replaced! From monetary donations, to supplies, to physically working on the furnace, to words of encouragement, our community stepped up for us when we needed it most! 🖤

We are not over the finish line yet but we can now take care of this problem ASAP and ensure our building’s safety and warmth for the rest of the winter. ❄️

We appreciate each and every one of you for taking time out of your day to check on us, drop off supplies and share our fundraiser.
Our sincerest thanks to Biggies Bullies for the supplies and extremely generous donation 🖤
To Faith Fera Furline and Dan for the space heaters and all their help and to TL Reed and Joshua Reed for driving here at the drop of a hat to diagnose the problem and for helping us replace our furnace very soon!
AND to our community as a whole for being the absolute best supporters we could ever ask for. 💕

THANK YOU!! 🙏🏻

CURRENT AND FINAL UPDATE: Thank you all so much! We have reached our goal for replacing our furnace and we can now get it taken care of ASAP to ensure the safety and warmth of the building for the rest of the winter!!

NEWEST UPDATE:
Unfortunately the problem with our furnace is more of a costly endeavor than we were hoping for. We are going to need a new unit asap which can be very expensive but with the help of some very generous folks, we are looking at an approximate cost of $1500. We have updated our instagram fundraiser to reflect this additional cost. Please feel free to donate through Venmo or PayPal instead of Instagram if you prefer! We appreciate our community so much for rallying around us right now!

UPDATE: We have an appointment scheduled! We will keep you all informed when we find out more about what we may be looking at financially. Thank you so much for all of the donations and shares!!

‼️URGENT‼️

We are currently having some issues with our heating system. All the animals are being cared for and we have a contingency plan in place if we cannot get our system fixed. We are currently looking for anyone who may know how to fix the problem. Do you or anyone you know work in the HVAC industry? Please send us a message so we can explain further!

Regardless of who can take care of this issue for us, this fix will undoubtedly come at a cost and we hope to be able to cover it. Our fundraiser goal for this may shift and we will keep everyone updated. In the meantime, if you have anything you can spare for this unexpected expense, please feel free to donate to our instagram fundraiser or send us something through Venmo/Paypal (links in bio). If you cannot donate, sharing this post would also help!

Please know our animals’ safety is our first priority. Thank you all so much!

What a year! From adoptions, to countless events, to meeting new friends- 2024 was quite the journey. Let’s reflect on the past 12 months as we head into 2025.
We thank you all so much and below is a note from our director! Be safe and have a great New Year’s Eve! 🎉

“In the New Year, we look forward to positive and prosperous changes for our small rescue. We are making adjustments that will ensure the longevity of our mission. We have learned a great deal and have grown as a rescue family in 2024.

I personally want to thank the unrelenting support we have received from fellow rescues and our community. We vehemently believe that rescues should support each other and that we are all in the same fight together, to SAVE ANIMALS LIVES.
There should be no competition and no ego involved. A life saved (no matter which organization the animal comes from) is a life saved. Be in rescue for the right reason or don’t be in it at all.

Thank you to our incredible 2024 sponsors, partners and friends and for providing our adoptables with the best food and highlighting them weekly in Pet of the Week. This made a huge difference for our kids and we are so grateful 🖤

I also want to acknowledge the undying commitment of our volunteers and loving foster homes who work tirelessly on a daily basis because they believe in our mission and we wholeheartedly believe in them.
We wish we could thank everyone separately but we have had so many wonderful individuals and organizations spend their days with us this past year!

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE 🖤
We love you and could not do this without you!

Happy New Year and we are excited to spend 2025 with ALL of you!!!!”
