I’m writing on behalf of House with a Heart Senior Pet Sanctuary to request your support.
At House with a Heart (HWAH) we provide love, comfort, and lifelong care to more than 20 senior and special-needs dogs and cats with nowhere else to go. These sweet souls come to us after being abandoned, surrendered, or left behind — and here, they are cherished family for life.
The Sanctuary was created in 2006 by me and my late husband Joe. HWAH has welcomed countless animals over the years, taking care of all their medical needs and providing a safe, loving place where they can live their best lives. The 2-acre property has fenced, grassy fields for supervised play, as well as lots of comfortable indoor spots for napping-or for cozying up with me and the volunteers.
Our motto is LOVE LIVES HERE!!
As a forever sanctuary for senior animals, our greatest expenses are medications and vet bills.
We’re asking you to share our vision by becoming a House with a Heart sponsor. Your monthly or one-time donation would help to cover those expenses for your chosen senior or special needs animal.
And, we would appreciate it if you would consider asking your company to become a sponsor or matching donor.
In return for your donation, we would like to offer recognition through our social media and website as a sponsor/donor.

On behalf of the senior dogs, thank you for considering our request. Please feel free to contact me at 240-644-5428 or at hwahsher@gmail.com if I can answer any questions.
