cute faces in search of forever homes.
October 7th, 2009I recently connected with The Jason Debus Heigl Foundation, a wonderful organization founded by Nancy and Katherine Heigl in memory of a wonderful son and brother. One of their programs, The Heigl’s Hounds of Hope, focuses on rescuing medium to large dogs from high-kill shelters throughout Southern California.
Here are some of their dogs that are looking for their forever homes. Many were rescued from the Mojave desert from a hoarder who had over 300 animals in terrible condition. Others were pulled from LA shelters right before euthanasia. For more information on these adoptable dogs, visit Heigl’s Hounds of Hope or become a friend on facebook.
I told Survivor a joke as I was taking this shot:
This next dog stole my heart - she has only 3 legs but extra heart!
And these next few doggies are available through The Dawg Squad!
Another 3-legged baby!

They were all AMAZING and I wish I could take them all. The minute I met Tipsy he crawled right into my lap and didn’t want to leave. I also really loved Gorgeous who has no clue she’s missing a leg, and Zoe who is so sweet and regal!
