HavaHeart Rescue

Established in September 2016, HavaHeart Rescue (HHR) of Springfield, MO rescues and rehabilitates abandoned and abused dogs. They have done this based on the belief that every dog deserves the chance to live a happy and healthy life as a beloved family member. HavaHeart Rescue prides themselves on saving the underdogs - taking on the most broken dogs and transforming them into happy, healthy companions. Located in the "puppy mill capitol of the world," approximately 90% of the dogs rescued by HHR come from a background of commercial breeding, these dogs have unique needs that are not seen in other areas of rescue. HHR's intakes are almost always unsocialized and shut down, they have never felt a loving touch. Puppy mill dogs also bring with them a myriad of expensive medical issues due to years of neglect and over-breeding as well as poor breeding practices which lead to puppies with birth defects. These dogs are in desperate need of a safe and loving refuge and are placed in loving foster families that diligently advocate for their foster pup in order to rehabilitate and prepare them for family life.

TROOPER 🐾
2 years • Male • Australian Cattle Dog • 45 lbs
Available for adoption

Your next adventure could use a Trooper.

This energetic, affectionate guy loves activity and being close to his person. He’s looking for someone who wants to include their dog in everyday life and has time to build a strong connection.

Trooper has been in care for more than seven months. We’d love to introduce him to someone whose reaction to an active dog is, “Good. I’ve been looking for company.”

If you have time for exercise, companionship, and getting to know this particular cattle dog, let’s talk.

Transport assistance may be available.

From foster to forever.

In their own words:

“My main goal in signing up to foster/adopt was finding a good-fitting dog for adoption. I felt the time was right to bring a new dog into our home after a loss nearly a year earlier.
I expressed interest in fostering HHR Mister and adopting HHR Harvest. My heart was still more in the adoption column than the foster column. On a Monday, I was asked if I was still interested in fostering Mister, and shortly after, if I was still interested in adopting Harvest. My answer to both reps was ‘yes.’ I was asked to interview for the adoption that Wednesday.
I was in a quandary. I wanted to adopt, but I felt this foster needed me, too. I let the adoption rep know what was going on, and she followed up Wednesday morning to see where I was in my decision. I told her I had expressed interest in fostering Mister first, and I felt I had given my word. The rescue was already readying him for the transition to me, so I declined the adoption interview.
Sometimes we get what we need, not what we want. In a very short amount of time, I went from fostering Mister to being his new adopted mama. He needed me as much as I needed him, and if I had never fostered him, I would never have known what a wonderful fit we were for each other, peas and carrots. I couldn’t have asked for more.
The icing on the cake is that little miss Harvest got her new mama, too.”

Two happy endings from one family’s loyalty and a little bit of fate. Thank you for changing their lives!
