You can’t change a rescue dog’s past, but you can rewrite his future. 

Rescue does not mean damaged. 

It means they have been let down by humans. 

Please Make Adoption Your Only Option!

Heidi’s Hope for Homeless Animals, Inc. is a 501 ( c ) organization that is an intake organization who helps pets at risk of euthanasia and helps prevent owner surrender. The Bow Wow Luau & The Cat’s Meow® has donated over $75,000.00 to reduce shelter euthanasia. We’re proud to be Cape Fear’s first-ever Pet Food Bank and the creator of the region’s very first Pet Meals On Wheels Program—filling a critical void in our community and leading the way in providing essential food support for pets in need. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, Heidi’s Hope for Homeless Animals’ Pet Food Bank and food programs have donated over 310,533 pounds of pet food, valued at more than $866,142, to help feed hungry pets in desperate need. Together, we’re not just filling bowls—we’re giving hope. We created a unique coalition of local governmental agencies and human charitable organizations to provide pet food to the most food insecure. We expanded our Pet Food Bank and Pet Meals On Wheels Chapters in Onslow, Pender and Brunswick Counties. WoofStock, adopts at-risk dogs and cats. Our Disaster Relief Programs filled three tractor trailers with pet food to hurricane-impacted areas from Hurricanes Maria; Florence and Dorian. We sent two tractor trailers of pet food to western North Carolina in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. We sent two crates of pet food to help Hurricane Ian pet victims. We sent five pallets of pet food to war-torn Ukraine. We have donated microchip scanning stations to both the Wilmington Police Department; Carolina Beach Police Department; Wrightsville Beach Police Department; New Hanover County Parks, including Long Leaf Park; Smith Creek Park and Echo Farms Park. Heidi’s Hope For Homeless Animals is committed to saving the lives of homeless dogs and cats and will not stop until all dogs and cats have good homes!
