Hospice Hearts

Hospice Hearts Hospice Hearts is a 501(c)3 all-volunteer, foster-based animal rescue licensed by the IL Dept of AG EIN 47-5247265

Established as an independent organization in 2015, Hospice Hearts is an all-volunteer, foster-based animal rescue based in Urbana, Illinois. We provide care and adoption to any age of cats and dogs whose owners are no longer able to care for them due to nursing home admission, serious illness, or death. Many Hospice Hearts cats and dogs would be deemed unadoptable in a traditional shelter environ

ment and euthanized due to advanced age or health issues. We are proud to provide an alternative for these beloved pets when their owners are no longer able to care for them. A 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization licensed by the Illinois Department of Agriculture, Hospice Hearts serves cats and dogs in the foster care environment until time of adoption. As space permits, we accept pets directly from owners in need as well as transfers from shelters and animal controls around the state meeting our criteria.

Poodle and Borzoi seem to rely on each other whenever something new happens in their foster's house.

Poodle is the curious one, venturing out to watch what's going on fairly often but keeping her distance at first.

When he came to Hospice Hearts after his owner entered Hospice, Borzoi was shy but the first to let his foster pet him. Now, he loves to seek out attention and loves being held. He has become quite the snuggler.

They both love breakfast and aren't afraid to vocalize it. They have a nice, loud morning routine now.

Both cats get along with their foster siblings (cats & a dog).

Both cats are fixed, and up to date on vaccines and preventatives. They are not required to be adopted together, but they would love to stay together if you have room for two more friends.

Our Reggie is still looking for his forever home!
Reggie is a young boy with a lot of energy. He loves nothing better than to play/wrestle with the other kitties in his foster home. Reggie has realized that laps are nice place to cuddle & sleep. This little guy came to Hospice Hearts after a rescuer saw him tumble out from under a vehicle on the road. The rescuer brought him to Good Friends Animal Hospital to recover. The only sign of any injury is a mark on the his lip where is tongue occasionally stick out. Reggie will need a buddy to play with. Reggie has been neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, FIV & FeLV negative, on monthly flea prevention, and negative test for intestinal parasites.

Meet Poodle!

Poodle and Borzoi seem to rely on each other whenever something new happens in their foster's house. Poodle is the curious one, venturing out to watch what's going on fairly often but keeping her distance at first. They are attention seekers and like hanging out in the same room with their foster and Poodle loves to sleep in bed. They both love breakfast and aren't afraid to vocalize it. They have a nice, loud morning routine now. Poodle can take a bit to get comfortable but her personality really shines once someone is willing to give her a chance.

Meet Red!

Red is one of our rainbow puppies (now a year old!) and he is definately the biggest attention seeker of the bunch, as he loves to be the center of attention. He is playful, energetic and attention seeking. He enjoys time outside, getting attention and kibble. He is starting to learn his basic commands like sit, come, down and is used to staying in a crate, walking on a leash, and is potty trained. He is still working on building up his confidence and would benefit from a confident doggy companion. We believe he is definately the smallest of the litter and likely close to his full height as a nice medium sized dog (some of the photos above are his baby photos)

He can be loud when he is in a crate and knows people are in the home so we do not recommend him for apartments. We do think he would do best in a home with another dog and has been fostered with multiple other dogs.

We estimate their birthday to be around July 28th. Red is up to date on age appropriate vaccines, has had a clear f***l and recieves monthly preventatives. He has been fixed and is ready to adopt.
