Dog & Cat Rescue

Feb 14, 2023

Heart and Soul was founded in late 2015 by two like-minded people whose love for animals was like no other. We started as a small group and have now grown to the point where we are able to help 100’s of animals in need every year. Our main focus is educating on spaying and neutering so that we can help reduce the number of animals in need of help. Last year alone, we were able to find loving homes for 846 dogs and cats, as well as spay and neuter many more through our program.
