Hearts & Bones Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dog rescue organization based in Dallas, TX and New York City. We're a close network of fosters and volunteers who collaborate to rescue shelter dogs and find them loving, forever homes. As a foster-based rescue, we focus on providing all of our dogs with secure and caring environments while they wait for their forever families. Hearts & Bones is dedicated to building a coalition of individuals and organizations across the country to save dogs in the areas where shelters are under the greatest stress, and transport our pups to forever families ready to give them the lives they deserve.
Deciding to add a furry member to the family is a very exciting time. As adopting a dog is a big commitment, we want to ensure that we find the dog that is the best fit for your family. Adopting a Hearts & Bones dog requires a completed application. Following the submission of your application, our team will conduct reference checks and a home visit. We place dogs mainly in the New York City area and Texas, although we do occasionally consider applications outside of our main areas. The final adoptive home of a dog is chosen, firstly, based on the best fit. If there are multiple excellent applications for the same dog, then our policy is to look at which application was completed and submitted first. We carefully screen all of our adopters and dogs to ensure that we are finding the best match not only for the dog, but also for your family. Once you have been approved, please take a look through our welcome packet that we have put together to help you and your family (furry or not) welcome home the newest member of the family!
