Helping Hearts & Healing Tails Animal Rescue We are a nonprofit 501(c)3 foster based rescue dedicated to helping animals in the Ligonier area and surrounding communities find loving, forever homes.
(6)

It is our goal to assist in rescuing and rehoming any animals in need. We are a foster based rescue and can only take in so many animals at a given point in time, but if we are full we will try to assist in other arrangements for any animals in need. It is our hope that someday everyone will learn to be responsible pet owners and there will be no need for us, until then, we will be here to help th

ose in need. We are a not for profit charity and have 501(c)(3) status. We completely rely on donations to function. Anyone interested in donating to the rescue can send monetary donations via PayPal at [email protected] or to HHHT PO Box 42 Stahlstown, PA 15687. Donations of animal supplies are also welcome and can be dropped off at Tobias Auto Tag and Notary in Ligonier.

Tonight these two beautiful girls came to the rescue after they were surrendered from a humane case. We can’t discuss the details just yet, but we can get these babies on the road to recovery and finding families that will love them. We will keep you updated on their condition after we have them vetted and get to know them.

We have been taking in a large amount of animals from humane cases recently. We could really use fosters to help us continue to assist with them when needed. If you would like to foster now or in the future, just go to our website helpingheartshealingtails.org and complete a foster application.

This beautiful girl came to us yesterday. She’s a former breeder momma that wasn’t wanted anymore. Jasmine is a 6 year old cane corso. She’s up to date on vaccinations, flea treated, and wormed. She is scheduled to be spayed soon. She is also crate trained and seems to enjoy lounging in her crate. Jasmine loves giving kisses and covering everyone in drool. She seems to be dog selective. Some dogs she enjoys being with and others not so much. She loves her new toys. It’s unknown if she ever had toys before, she does resource guard them though. Overall Jasmine is extremely sweet, loving, and drooly. She is an amazing dog. She needs a family who can make her forget all the years of breeding and being used to make money. Jasmine will need a person or family that has Corso experience or experience with a similar breed. If you are interested in fostering or adopting Jasmine, please go to our website helpingheartshealingtails.org and complete an application.

Newton wants to know if looks better with or without the feather on his nose. 🤣

He also wants to know where his furever family is. Newton really needs to find a home. He is a very sweet and sensitive boy. He spends a lot of time in a crate due to the influx of dogs being surrendered. He is a dog that is sad being crated. He just wants to snuggle and play with his person. Newton is one of our favorite dogs that has come into the rescue. Please help us find him a home. To apply for Newton, please go to our website helpingheartshealingtails.org and complete an application.

Who’s looking for an older land seal that still likes to play. If you are, Brock is the man for you! He’s a senior pit mix that loves vegging as much as he loves playing.

We still desperately need a foster or adopter for Achilles. He’s about 5 years old, obedience trained, and crate trained. He enjoys playing with his person, but he is also fine playing on his own. He loves doing activities with people like hiking and going for long walks. He loves water and hopes wherever he goes has a dog pool for him to play in. Achilles needs placement asap. Even temporary placement is fine and then we can continue to look for something more permanent. Achilles complete bio with all his information is on our website. If you are interested in adopting Achilles or helping him by fostering, please go to our website helpingheartshealingtails.org and complete an application.

How is this amazing little ginger cat still with us???!!! Vincenzo (aka Little Vinny) is the most lovable little guy in the world. He enjoys cuddling with everyone and everything, napping in unusual places, and playing with anyone who will give him attention. Little Vinny gets along with other cats and dogs. He is honestly the perfect cat. We would love for him to go to a home with another kitten or cat that he can be BFFs with.

The post our Witches have been waiting for!

Dearest LWBB Members and Friends,
Greetings, Witches and….Warlocks!

With the Season of the Witch drawing near, we are thrilled to share that LWBB Ride Day passes for this year's event will be available for purchase starting August 23rd, 2024 at 10am via our Eventbrite link.

Having thrived through eight enchanting years, the LWBB sisterhood has grown in popularity, attracting a diverse array of individuals. As a pioneering group of the “magical” community in Western Pennsylvania, we are ecstatic to witness the ever-expanding interest in mystical gatherings, with new groups emerging on the scene.
In a spirit of celebration of our magic, we are excited to extend an invitation this year not only to Witches but also to Warlocks who wish to partake in our magical festivities.
While this shift may come as a surprise to some, we believe it will bring joy to many who have been waiting to join us! This is still an over 21 event but we welcome our littlest witches to enjoy the day with us at the Witch Social (Loyalhanna Watershed Farm) when we kick off our day!

Both Warlocks and Witches are encouraged to secure an LWBB pass, priced at $30, which functions as a gracious donation to support Helping Hearts and Healing Tails and Beth Luther Homeless Pet Fund and other local pet shelters.

A Special Pass pick-up night has been scheduled for September 19th at the Ligonier Volunteer Hose #1 during the Ligonier Night Market (we hear there will be a “Witch Dance” lesson and possibly a dance or two with the Dancing Witches of Westmoreland County at 7pm!)
Prepaid Eventbrite Passes will be available for collection and on-site pass purchases can be made for $35 (cash only).
Passes can also be picked up during our Witch Social on Ride Day, October 20th, at the Loyalhanna Watershed Association Field.

By purchasing a pass, you not only contribute to our Collective Magic but also your donations help in supporting local pets in need.
Pass holders will enjoy exclusive merchant discounts, access to our shuttle services running from 1 PM to 5 PM on Ride Day, and the opportunity to explore various locations that may not be easily accessible by foot. Please be reminded that a pass is mandatory to board the shuttle.
For those, without a pass and not in costume, who are eager to join us for the ride, the option is available for a donation of $5.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: To ensure the smooth running of our event and in response to a notable number of witches who have participated in the past without obtaining a pass (whether knowingly or unknowingly), please be advised that certain local venues will require a pass or a $35 wristband (available at the venues) for entry if you are in COSTUME.
Our primary aim is to have a fantastic day with friends, fully embracing the magical essence of the LWBB and Ride Day and helping pets when they need it the most!
Therefore, if you plan to join us and enjoy the festivities in your finest witchy attire, PLEASE PURCHASE A PASS.

Let's remember that our celebration is fundamentally a FUNDRAISER, and your kindness and generosity are deeply appreciated, with all proceeds going towards animals in need within our local community.
Join us as we revel in the magic within each of us and come together to craft a day teeming with joy and benevolence. Let's strive to make this year's LWBB ride day an unforgettable experience for all who partake.
Be sure to stay tuned for more enchanting updates, and secure your pass soon to embark on the enchanting journey that lies ahead!

The LWBB Eventbrite link will be available through at post on Friday 8/23/24 at 10am

Can’t wait to see you soon!!!

A few weeks ago we took this handsome little guy into the rescue. He was surrendered from a breeder because he had a heart murmur. He haven’t wanted to post much on him until we had confirmation on his diagnosis. Unfortunately, the original doctor was correct and he does have a severe grade 5 heart murmur. Diagnostics already show his heart is very enlarged. He was started on medication on Monday. He’s only 3 months old and is still growing, so he will be going back to the vet at least once a month to adjust medication levels and monitor his condition. He is going to be considered a fospice dog, as his condition is already serious and there are no good options for treatment at this time other than the medications. We would consider a foster family for him if they can dedicate their time to giving this boy the best life he can have. His life expectancy is not good. The doctors believe he will likely be in full heart failure by his first birthday and likely not live past his second. Our sweet boy deserves to be spoiled and loved till that time comes. If you would be interested in fostering, please message us and complete an application on our website helpingheartshealingtails.org.

We also need a name for this little man! Please help us with suggestions. We want it to be a meaningful name and not something super common.

We also need to find an immediate foster for Nash. His current foster had a death in the family that is out of state. She will be gone for an extended period of time, so we need to find new placements for Nash.

Nash is completely vetted and ready for a new foster or an adopter. He gets along well with other dogs and he does live with cats, however, he will chase them at times. Nash is a very sweet boy that deserves to find a loving home.

Please help us find a foster or adopter asap for Nash. He will not do well in boarding and we don’t have the money to put another dog into boarding. If you can foster or are interested in adopting please go to our website helpingheartshealingtails.org and complete an application.

We urgently need a foster or adopter for Achilles. He has been in boarding for quite a long time with no real interest. Achilles needs to be moved now though because the facility wants to focus on training and daycare instead of boarding. We need to find Achilles placement asap.

Achilles is fully obedience trained, and treat motivated, making him highly trainable if there’s more you want him to learn. He enjoys learning new things and loved working with his trainers.

Achilles loves to entertain with his zoomies and goofy smile. He loves playing whether it’s chasing a ball or tug-of-war, yet is very gentle when it’s time to stop and be calm again so he can be petted and loved on. He really enjoys going on long walks and hikes but is happy to entertain himself with a chew toy, or a peanut butter or cheese-stuffed Kong. Achilles loves to play in the water, and it is particularly entertaining to watch him romp around through the sprinkler or a kiddy pool in the summertime. He also loves a good play session in the snow.

He is quite adorable when he takes long naps and snuggles in cozy, cushy places. He always likes to be covered up with a blanky when he feels chilly.

Achilles is a good watch dog, yet he listens well when you tell him to stop alerting. His short hair and good nature make him easy to groom, bathe, and clip his nails.

Achilles is the ideal dog for a single owner, couple, or family with older children. He does not care for cats and has not spent much time around young kids, so he would have to meet them first and be considered on a case-by-case basis. He typically does well with other dogs but would need to meet them first as well.

Achilles is a very loving dog, and wants nothing more than to find a loving family and furever home. If you are interested in fostering or adopting Achilles, please go to our website helpingheartshealingtails.org and complete an application.

Occasionally a dog comes into our rescue that truly makes us ask, “what was your life like before” or we just know they must have had a truly terrible life. Gretchen is one of these dogs. This girl is so amazingly sweet that we hate thinking about it. We know it must have been bad though. When she first came to us she was constantly looking for a way to escape and was very scared and timid. She was always searching for food, and she cried all the time. Gretchen has been with us for two months now and she’s a completely different dog. She is crate trained and happily goes in and out of her crate. She looks to us for pets and scritches. She loves sniffing around the yard with other dogs and when she’s done she comes right to the door to come in. Gretchen is a senior and has some senior issues, but she is an amazing dog. Please help us find her a loving home. To apply, please go to our website helpingheartshealingtails.org and complete an application.
