Meet Dobby and Poppy! 🐾💕

Dobby and Poppy are both part of our Fayetteville Crew and are approximately 6 months old. They have had all three rounds of vaccines, are completely dewormed, and will be receiving their rabies vaccines on Monday.
Dobby was adopted previously and was living an amazing life, but due to unfortunate circumstances, he has come back to us through no fault of his own. He is potty trained, such a sweet boy, and does great with other dogs and kids.
Poppy is a little more independent, but just as sweet. She loves the outdoors, loves other dogs, loves puppies, and loves kids.
Both Dobby and Poppy have had the opportunity to be inside pets as well as live on a farm, so they would do great in a regular household or on a homestead. They are loving, well-rounded pups who are ready to find their forever families.

If you are interested in Dobby or Poppy, please fill out an application and schedule a meet-and-greet. 🐶💕

Meet Luca! 🐾💙

Luca is the last of Licorice’s litter still looking for his forever home, and he is the sweetest little fluff ball cuddle bug.

He is almost 8 weeks old, has had his first round of vaccines, is due for his second round, and has been dewormed.

His foster mommy and daddy say he is the sweetest puppy — playful, yet lazy, and full of love. Luca loves belly rubs, snacks, and especially ham! He does not like being alone and is definitely a super clingy boy who wants to be close to his people.

Luca would do wonderful with a family that has kids or other dogs. He is ready to find a family who will love him, cuddle him, and let him be the spoiled baby he deserves to be.

If you’re interested in Luca, please fill out an application and schedule a meet-and-greet. 🐶💕

Biscuit’s babies are a little over 4 weeks old today! 🐾

Today was deworming day and bath time, and all the babies are doing so well. They are gaining weight, eating puppy gruel with milk replacer, and doing absolutely amazing.

We have 1 boy and 3 girls. 💕

They are not ready for adoption yet, as they have not had their first or second round of vaccines. Mom is also still teaching them important social skills, which is a big part of their growth and development.

If you are interested in one of Biscuit’s babies, you are welcome to fill out an application and schedule a meet-and-greet. Once they are old enough, healthy, and fully ready, they will be able to go to their forever homes.

Thank you for loving and supporting these sweet babies as they grow! 🐶💕

Remember the Fayetteville Crew? 🐾

This sweet girl is Lily, and she is still looking for her forever home. 💕

Lily has been vaccinated, and come Monday she will receive her rabies vaccine and be ready to go to her new family.

She is a playful little puppy with lots of s***k and personality. Lily loves farm life, running around, exploring, and being part of the action — but after a long day, she is just as happy to curl up beside you and be your best friend.

If you’re looking for an active, fun-loving girl who is also a total cuddle bug, Lily is your girl. 🐶💗

Message us today to meet Lily and give this sweet baby the forever home she deserves.

We want to address something clearly and respectfully.

We defended ourselves because false claims were being made about our rescue, our animals, and our intentions. Defending ourselves against lies, bullying, and public bashing does not make us hostile. It means we refuse to sit quietly while someone spreads information that is not true.

It is easy to attack another rescue publicly, but when questions are asked in return, suddenly it is called “attacking.” That is not fair. If someone is going to make claims about us, they should be prepared for us to correct the record.

We do not breed and sell puppies for profit. That is completely false. We have different views on spay-abort, and that is okay. Not every rescue will agree on every decision, but disagreement does not give anyone the right to twist the truth or accuse us of something we are not doing.

Our adoption fees are not profit. They help cover the care, food, vaccines, deworming, medical needs, and basic expenses that go into the animals before they go to loving homes. Our priority has always been finding safe, responsible, forever homes — not making money.

Rescue is hard enough without rescues tearing each other apart. We should be working together for the animals, not using social media to bash, bully, or make ourselves look like heroes at someone else’s expense.

We wish Shana Sommers the best in her rescue journey. Moving forward, we hope this can be a reminder that making assumptions, spreading lies, and attacking another rescue helps no one — especially not the animals.

We will continue to stand up for ourselves, our rescue, and the animals in our care.

06/13/2026

For everyone who feels the need to be nosy on our page because of Shawna Sommers complete and total lies, let’s clear something up.

We did not delete our posts. We blocked the problem.

After consulting with our attorney, we have been advised to stop engaging with someone who clearly is not going to stop, even after being warned. She has made claims that she has absolutely no proof of, including the lie that we “allowed” a dog to get pregnant.

Some things in rescue are out of our control. What is in our control is how we respond and how we care for the animals in front of us. We also do not believe in spay abort, and we will never apologize for standing by our beliefs and doing what we feel is right for the animals in our care.

We also want to be clear about our nonprofit status. At this time, we are not operating as a 501(c)(3) because we recently found out that our paperwork needs to be reinstated. It was never dissolved. It was never revoked. This is something we do plan to handle when the time is right.

Right now, the founder and her husband have way too much medical stuff going on to continue dealing with unnecessary drama, lies, and outside bullying. Our focus is on the animals already in our care, placing them in the right homes, and taking time to regroup, rebuild, and come back better and stronger.

You do not have to agree with how we run our rescue. That is your choice. But disagreeing does not give anyone the right to bash us, spread false information, or try to turn people against us.

So for anyone continuing today, laughing, commenting, or acting like we deleted something because we have something to hide — we don’t. We have nothing to hide. We removed access to the problem, and we are choosing to protect our peace, our rescue, our family, and the animals that depend on us.

We will continue doing what we have always done: showing up for the animals, putting in the work, and standing behind the truth.

06/12/2026

PUBLIC NOTICE:

We want to make one thing very clear:

We will not tolerate false information, harassment, defamation, or public bashing of our rescue, our volunteers, our adopters, or the work we do for animals.

We know the truth.
We know the care, time, money, love, and sacrifice that goes into every animal we take in.
We know what we do behind the scenes every single day.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but spreading lies, making false accusations, or intentionally trying to damage our rescue’s name is not acceptable.

Moving forward, any false statements, defamation, harassment, or attempts to harm our reputation will be documented, and legal action will be taken when necessary.

Our focus will always remain on the animals, their care, and finding them safe, loving homes.

Respectfully,

HART Rescue

Y’all remember Benji — the little guy we rescued from a bad situation at a farmers market. 💙

Well, Benji officially left yesterday after fully healing from his neuter, which was done about a month ago. He is now living his best life at White Lake with his new mommy and his brother JJ — and to say he is spoiled is an understatement.

Today, Benji even had a spa day with his new mommy, and just look at what a handsome fella he has turned out to be. 🐾💕

We are so incredibly happy that Benji has been given a fresh start and a forever home where he will be loved, spoiled, and cared for the way he always deserved.

Thank you so much for adopting from us and trusting us to help bring Benji into your family. Happy tails, sweet boy. 🐶✨

It’s time to clear up some false information being shared about our rescue.

First, we want to be fully transparent: right now, we are not operating as an active 501(c)(3), which means donations made at this time are not tax-deductible. We were not “shut down,” and we were not “dissolved” as a rescue. We missed a filing, and we are working on the proper reinstatement process we still hold our status through the Secretary of State. That does not mean we are not a real rescue. It does not erase the years of work, time, money, love, and sacrifice we have poured into saving animals.

Before anyone shares posts claiming we are “breeding dogs” or “selling puppies,” please know the facts. We do not breed dogs. We do not take in pregnant dogs to make money. We rescue animals in need, including pregnant moms, and we make decisions based on the health, safety, and well-being of the animals in front of us.

We understand that not everyone agrees with allowing a healthy pregnant dog to carry and raise her babies. That is okay. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But our belief is that if a pregnant dog is healthy, safe, and able to have her litter, we will allow her to do that. That does not make us breeders. That makes us a rescue willing to take in moms when many others will not.

Every puppy placed through our program will go through an adoption process. That includes an application, background check, vet check, home check, and a signed contract requiring spay/neuter when age appropriate. We do not believe in altering puppies too young due to concerns with growth and development, but we absolutely require responsible ownership and follow-through.

Right now, both founders also have serious medical and personal matters going on, and we will update everyone more on that soon. For now, we are closed to intake so we can focus on the animals already in our care, get our paperwork fully reinstated, update cabinet/member information, and make sure our rescue is moving forward the right way.

Until reinstatement is completed, we are continuing to care for the animals in our rescue out of our own pockets. Once everything is finalized, we will begin rebuilding, finding reliable fosters, and reopening intake when we are ready.

We will always tell the truth, even when it is not easy. If you support us, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. If you do not, that is okay too. But please do not spread false information about our rescue, our animals, or our intentions.

We know who we are. We know what we do. And the animals we have saved know it too.

Thank you to everyone who continues to love us, support us, and stand beside us. We love y’all❤️

If you are the one spreading false information I hope this clears this up for you.

We love everyone but we have to do what is best for us and this is what is best for us❤️
