Welcome to Companion Hearts Transport and Rescue

Please honor your lifetime commitment to your pet

If you adopted a pet at the start of or during the pandemic, please, please, PLEASE honor your lifetime commitment to that animal. Even though life has resumed for you, your pet doesn't understand he was just something to occupy your time or play with while you were hunkered down and that you no longer have room for him in your life. You’ll leave him depressed and resigned to a life of waiting and wondering why he deserved to be sent away.

Shelters are being inundated with "returns" of animals that families no longer have time for and are having to make difficult decisions (yes, even the no-/low-kill shelters). We find time in our busy schedules for things that are important to us. No matter how busy you and your family have become, you can — and should — make room for your pet. He will continue to bring you joy, companionship and unconditional love.

If you absolutely find you can't continue to care for him, please be responsible in finding a safe home for him. Most rescues and shelters will always take their animals back — although many now have waiting lists because of the influx of such requests. Please don't "set him free in the country" or offer him "free to a good home." Chances are good he'll suffer a painful and cruel end with a car or as a research experiment or fighting bait.

And for those of you who DO have room in your home and life, please, please, PLEASE visit (online or in person) a shelter or rescue group and save the lives of these discarded/unwanted animals. They most likely aren't there because of something they did, but simply because their last family lost interest. Thank you!
