How can you help?
Stealing Hearts Rescue was founded with the goal of making a difference in the lives of large breed shelter dogs. It is our mission to save the lives of many stronger breed dogs that are often overlooked and provide them with the opportunity to become loved and cherished companions. Stealing Hearts strives to save dogs from euthanasia, dogs that other shelters are unable to adopt including sick, pregnant, nursing moms and breeds of dogs often ignored by our communities. We feel as we educate people about these amazing breeds not only do we save that dog’s life, the new knowledge acquired by the owner is shared and we are able to reach many more. By saving one, we save many.
About Us
FOOD
Food is one of SHR largest expenses, right up there with housing our dogs and medical bills. Because we rescue only LARGE breed dogs, we have large appetites. At any given time, we can have over 60 dogs in our facility and with fosters, this includes 10-20 puppies who have an even bigger appetite. We also focus on pregnant moms or new moms who are nursing, and they need extra food. Your donation to our food fund is always needed and greatly appreciated. Our dogs in our facility (20-23 dogs at any time) go through a lot of food each month. You can always check out what brands we have on our “Amazon Wish List” too if you prefer to donate bags of food!
Did you know that we have our own facility to house more dogs while they wait for their forever homes? With any facility, comes costs and maintenance. When you make a donation to The Pit Stop you help us house more dogs and in turn save more lives.
Rescue Facility
MEDICAL
Stealing Hearts Rescue loves to help the large breed dogs who need a second chance due to their medical needs. The most dogs we rescue come to us because they are medically unadoptable. We do not want to pass up a dog because it has a known medical need, we feel those that require medical attention actually need us more.
Your donations to our medical fund will help with spay/neuters, microchips, medications, special surgeries and whatever short or long term medical needs any of our dogs up for adoption may have. It’s important to us that the person interested in adopting one of these dogs knows that SHR has done all we can to get that dog back to health.

This is an AMAZING organization! Toni and all of the staff are so awesome with these bullies and all of the breeds that they have! I live in an apartment so unfortunately I am not able to adopt one of these beautiful babies but I am so in love with these furbabies and everything that this organization stands for that I will soon be volunteering so I can be apart of all of the furbabies journey! Highly recommend you check them out!

We had a great experience with Stealing Hearts Rescue. Toni was amazing with answering all of our questions and guiding us to make the right fit for our home. We liked it so much, we went back a week later and adopted a second dog!

Stealing Hearts has amazing dogs and puppies! They are so easy to work with and Toni is great at matching your family with the right dog. We have had our rescue dog Deacon for almost two years and we could not imagine our life without him! We are so grateful to Stealing Hearts!
