H.A.R.T. - Helping DFW-area animals find their "Forever Homes" since 1995
Every hour 2,000 to 3,500 puppies and kittens are born in the United States - more than 30 million each year. Only 1 in 10 of these animals will find a permanent home.
A dog abandoned in the street has a life expectancy of one year; a cat, slightly longer (assuming they're not hit by a car first). Only 20% to 25% of animals brought to shelters are adopted. The rest must be destroyed, at an annual cost of close to $400 million.
HART was established to help combat these issues. Over 7500 cats and dogs have found permanent homes through our efforts, and the support of our volunteers and sponsors.

HART Partners with local animal shelters to provide foster care and find permanent homes for adoptable companion animals. In 1995 more than 6,000 dogs, cats, puppies and kittens were euthanized in Irving, TX alone. In 2002, this number dropped to 2,991. HART is proud to have been a factor in reducing this number. We can make a difference!
