Already April!
Message from our Director, Sher: What's new??? Oh goodness!!! It is 2026 and we are already into April!! And since it’s 2026, that means this is our 20th year saving senior and special needs pets! We have loved and cared for 148 dogs and cats over those 20 years and...
Hershey Kiss Update!
Hershey update! (and yes, the doctor had to get on his knees to get a better look at our tiny little boy 😅) Our sweet Hershey saw the eye specialist last week, and it was confirmed he has mature cataracts. While surgery is an option, the doctor advised against it.....

Our sweet Toby may not be able to run or walk like he once did, but his spirit is as bright as ever. Next Tuesday, Toby will visit an Orthopedist in hopes of finding ways to help him feel better. Huge thanks to Rebecca for being Toby’s Benefactor and to KLee for making the long journey to get him to his appointment. Tobylicious, we’re sending you all our love and wishing you wellness—and dreams of joyful days in the yard. If you believe in second chances for senior pets, please send Toby your well wishes below!

Double the love, double the sweetness 💕🐾
Meet Destiny & Sophie—two adorable besties looking for their forever home together 🥹 These girls are completely bonded and happiest side by side.
Around 8–9 years old, Destiny (a Yorkie) and Sophie (a Biewer Terrier) are as sweet and lovable as they come. After spending much of their lives outside in cages being bred, they’re so ready to finally experience what it means to be part of a real, loving family 💛
They’re great with dogs, kids, and seniors, enjoy car rides, and love nothing more than being close—especially if that means curling up in your lap 🛋️ They’re playful, gentle, affectionate, and eager to please… basically, total gems ✨
If you’re in the Northern Virginia/DC area and have room in your heart (and home) for two, these precious girls are ready to fill your life with love 🐶🐶
Apply to adopt Destiny & Sophie today! 💌
Destiny and Sophie are a bonded pair and must be adopted together. They are fostered by Healing Hearts Animal Rescue Group in the Northern Virginia/DC metro area.
Adopters must live in the DC Metro area. Applications can be found at hharg.rescuegroups.org.

❤️House with a Heart’s Legacy of Love: Getting to Know Our HWAH Team ❤️
We are including a ‘getting to know you’ segment in our Legacy of Love series with our HWAH Team!!! Our first interview is with our Administrative and Sanctuary Care Assistant, Karen!
As she mentions in the video below, she is a ‘jack-of-all-trades’! She dabbles in a little bit of everything; processing grants, resident transport to the vet, general resident care, social media, taking the pups out for playtime, promotional projects, managing volunteer schedules, and so much more. We would not be able to continue our mission of saving senior and special needs pets without individuals like her and we are so grateful she’s at HWAH!!!
Let us know in the comments below what questions you would like us to ask for future interviews!!

We are celebrating our Sanctuary's 20th Anniversary this year!!!
