Monday Memorial featuring Little Luke 🤍
Luke first came to House with a Heart in June 2021 as a tiny 4-pound senior Maltese with a personality all his own. He had been rescued by Caring Hearts Rescue and came to stay with us while his foster family was away. From the very beginning, Luke was unforgettable. He had the most unusual eating habits, taking one piece of kibble at a time and sometimes spending hours finishing a meal. We quickly learned that this sweet little guy did things in his own special way.
What began as a temporary stay soon turned into something much more. Luke became a beloved HWAH Forever Foster, and in January 2022, Lori and John opened their home and hearts to him. He truly became “Lucky Luke,” surrounded by the love, patience, and care he deserved.
As Luke grew older, he faced serious health challenges, including seizures that eventually required multiple medications and hospital care. Through every difficult moment, he continued to be deeply loved. After a hospitalization in September 2023, we were so grateful to have him back with us, eating well and showing us his strength once again.
Sadly, in December 2023, Luke experienced a severe cluster of seizures despite being on several medications. Lori rushed to be by his side, holding and comforting her little man before taking him for emergency care. When it became clear that his body was struggling and he was suffering, she made the heartbreaking and loving decision to let him go peacefully.
That is one of the greatest acts of love we can give our animals: caring for them every step of the way and, when the time comes, putting their comfort before our own heartbreak.
Little Luke may have only weighed four pounds, but he left an enormous mark on the hearts of everyone who knew him. We will always remember his quirky ways, his resilience, and how incredibly loved he was.
Today we remember our sweet Lucky Luke and the beautiful life he shared with his HWAH family. 🤍

🐾 Meet Herschel! 🐾
Don’t let those adorable gray whiskers fool you—this handsome 11-year-old Miniature Schnauzer still has plenty of pep in his step! ❤️ At 12 pounds, Herschel is the perfect little companion with a big personality.
He’s friendly, affectionate, house-trained, and gets along well with cats. 🐱 He loves being with his people and is always ready to see what the day has in store.
Herschel came to Reed’s Rescue as a stray from Prince George’s County and is ready to put his past behind him. He does have a cataract in his right eye, but that certainly hasn’t slowed him down!
If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal little guy with a youthful spirit and lots of love to give, Herschel would love to meet you! 🐶❤️

Gravy will occasionally wander into some nooks and crannies and get “stuck” 😆… this was taken after he had finished his dinner. We love our silly Gravy-boat so much!
(He was totally okay and we got him out a few seconds after this picture was taken!!)
