At least one lucky puppy found a forever home Saturday, Aug. 24, during the Heart Animal Rescue event held at LuLu & BB’s Pet Market in downtown Decorah. Katie Houlihan, a director with the local nonprofit organization, said the event also yielded a couple more applications to adopt animals, which she found fulfilling. “Anyone in rescue is going to say that some days you just want to throw in the towel and call it quits,” she said. “Some days, in all honesty, are brutal, but we keep going because there are so many animals that need rescues and shelters to help them. The reward of knowing you
helped an innocent animal become part of a loving, happy home is very rewarding.” Houlihan said Heart Animal Rescue was founded in October of 2016 and mainly serves northeast Iowa but also serves southeast Minnesota and a bit in Wisconsin. “Heart Animal Rescue takes in breeder-released pups and dogs, pups and dogs that a person may not be able to take care of anymore and unwanted kittens,” she said. “These animals go into foster homes and are cared for until they are ready to find their forever home and be adopted out. Heart Animal Rescue also has a trap, neuter, release program to help with the stray cat
population.” Houlihan said Heart Animal Rescue isn’t connected to area shelters or other rescue agencies, but the organization has established relationships with others who works in the field, allowing groups to aid one another. For information on the adoption process or how to help Heart Animal Rescue, visit heartrescueteam.com or email heartrescue2016@ gmail.com. Animals available for adoption can be found at Petfinder.com. Find the complete article in the August 29 Decorah Leader and online at decorahleader.com
