HEARTS UNITED FOR ANIMALS

Happy 5th Birthday to Sylvana! This lovely little Chihuahua was rescued from a terrible hoarding situation. She has been a tough nut to crack, but her therapeutic foster mother, Dr. Katherine Z with the Southeast Community College in Lincoln, NE, has been doing some research about taming wild/feral animals. She is looking into how wildlife rescues work with scared rescues, because Sylvana is more like a wild animal than a domestic dog. She is so darn cute…you just want to hug her and kiss her, but watch out….you may get bitten!

Being a therapeutic foster parent goes way beyond feeding, sheltering and loving. It requires work and commitment on the part of the foster parent to search deep into the dog’s soul for that spark of trust in humans that must be ignited. Then, and only then, can progress occur. Sylvana loves the other dogs in the home, but humans are a different story. Dr. Katherine does not give up, and she recognizes and celebrates even the smallest victories.

Dedicated to the relief of animal suffering

HUA 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.

Happening at HUA!

My mama lived in a scary hoarder house, but I was lucky enough to be born at HUA!

It's a fine day to be at HUA!

Nothing better than arms full of puppies!

Hello from Saint Topher!!

Forty four Aussies rescued from a puppy mill are safe now.

Paddington and Dana are a whole mood

Playgroup is an important part of the HUA Enrichment Program. It may seem as though the dogs are just having a great time, but they're also learning social skills, boundaries and expectations.

The dogs had a wonderful time with the students of Southeast Community College in Lincoln, NE! Thanks to all who visited to help with socialization and obedience classes!

Puppy mill mother Alice has raised her fat babies, and now she is ready to become the baby of her new family.

Three baby dogs dumped at the end of the HUA lane

Our animal-adoring friends at Nature Dog in Omaha are helping the HUA cats find homes by showcasing the cats at their lovely store. We are so grateful for this sweet program!

Girl Scouts Troop# 28199 from Syracuse, NE, paid a visit to the HUA puppies and kitties! Everyone had a great time. Thank you, ladies!
