Hearts United for Animals is a no-kill shelter, sanctuary and animal welfare organization dedicated to the relief of suffering.

In many ways this is a very easy thing to do because these are lovely grateful animals who give a world of love in return. In other ways, it is very difficult because the number of animals in need is so large.  The HUA web page also contains educational information on puppy mills.
