The Canine Bill of Rights

I have the right to give and receive unconditional love
I have the right to a life that is beyond mere survival
I have the right to be trained so I do not become the prisoner of my own misbehavior
I have the right to adequate food and medical care
I have the right to socialize with people and dogs outside of my family I have the right to have my needs and wants respected
I have the right to special time with my people
I have the right to only be bred responsibly-if not at all
I have the right to some time and space all my own
I have the right to be foolish and silly, and to make my person laugh
I have the right to earn my person's trust and to be trusted in return
I have the right to be forgiven
I have the right to die with dignity

~~ Carolyn Krause 

DID YOU KNOW?

  • Every year in the United States an estimated 5 million animals lose their lives in shelters because they are homeless.

  • That is one pet life lost every 6.5 seconds.

  • It costs U.S. taxpayers an estimated 2 billion each year to round up, house, kill and dispose of homeless animals.

  • The pet overpopulation epidemic is so staggering that for every animal born in the United States to have a home, each and every human being would have to own 6 dogs and 9 cats.

  • So, in actuality, a family of four (2 parents and 2 small children) would have to own 24 dogs and 36 cats.

  • For every child born, so are 15 dogs and 45 cats.....

  • Number of cats and dogs entering shelters each year: 6-8 million (HSUS estimate)

  • Number of cats and dogs euthanized by shelters each year: 3-4 million (HSUS estimate)

  • Number of animal shelters in the United States: Between 4,000 and 6,000 (HSUS estimate)

  • Percentage of dogs in shelters who are purebred: 25% (HSUS estimate)

  • Average number of puppies in a canine litter: 6-10 In six years, one female dog and her offspring can theoretically produce 67,000 dogs.

Each of you can make a difference in the lives of the animals in our care and your generous tax-deductible financial donations will help us save many more precious animals each year. Just like Benji. See his video under success stories!

 We are a non-profit 501(c)(3), no-kill, animal rescue organization made up entirely by volunteers. We are dedicated to rehabilitating, caring for and finding permanent placements for abused, neglected and unwanted animals in a no-kill environment.  We never euthanize an animal to make room for another.  We care for all the animals we take in until they are adopted.  

Make A Tax-Deductible Donation to help Heidi's Legacy continue its life saving work. Your donation will assist us in saving the lives of abandoned animals each year.

 

There are 33,000 companion animals euthanized in Hillsborough County annually.  Please spay/neuter & adopt!
