HEARTS UNITED FOR ANIMALS

Dedicated to the relief of animal suffering

HUA, located in the beautiful rolling hills of Auburn, Nebraska, is a no-kill organization dedicated to relieving the suffering of domestic animals by providing quality shelter, sanctuary, and adoptions, and by promoting animal welfare issues. Our efforts have resulted in thousands of dog and cat adoptions since the year 1989.

Pup of the Month - Peppermint Patty!

The very beautiful Peppermint Patty was rescued from a high intake shelter in California. Family dogs had been displaced due to severe flooding in the area, and local shelters were scrambling to make room for them. Patty is everyone's friend. She is one of those easy-living dogs who you can take anywhere and she will have a great time. She adores humans and other dogs, and the bigger the adventure, the better. Patty's sweet and sunny disposition makes her the perfect pet for a family looking for a dog who radiates happiness.
