About Us

We are a foster-based animal rescue with foster homes located in Iowa, southeast Minnesota, and southwest Wisconsin.

Heart Animal Rescue is a team of dedicated animal lovers that just want the best for the animals.

We are small, but we are mighty, and we work together as a team for the welfare of the animals. We are a foster-based rescue that relies solely on donations, fundraisers, and adoption fees. We are always in need of supplies for the animals in our foster homes.


What is unique about us? Not only are the foster animals in our home and part of our family, but the volunteers with Heart Animal Rescue are also one big family!
