Hearts & Bones Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to ending the needless euthanasia of shelter dogs through direct lifesaving, shared learning, and community building. It is the realization of our shared dream to bring people together across the country to save the lives of dogs in need and unite loving forever families. With dual bases in New York City, NY and Dallas, TX, our incredible network of rescue partners, fosters, volunteers, and a small but mighty staff work together to save dogs in the areas where shelters are under the greatest stress, and unite them with loving adopters ready to give them the lives they deserve.



At our rescue base in Dallas, TX, our team works directly with shelters at the forefront of the stray and unwanted dog crisis, in areas where euthanasia rates are among the highest in the country. With bi-weekly transports of 30-50 dogs to their adoption hub in New York City, where all dogs are met by their loving foster parents and stay with them until they’re adopted. We believe animal transport programs are an essential part of making the USA a no-kill country. Every dog we pull from a shelter in Texas and bring to a place like NYC reduces pressure on an incredibly overburdened southern shelter system and makes room for them to save another life.

As a foster-based rescue, we focus on providing all of our dogs with secure and caring environments while they search for their adopters. At Hearts & Bones, all of our dogs are 100% certified pre-loved.



Since its founding in 2017, Hearts & Bones has saved the lives of over 5,000 dogs thanks to the efforts of dedicated foster families and dedicated volunteers.

You can volunteer, donate, foster pups and adopt from them, or simply share their available pups for adoption through your social media ! Please visit their website here.
