Follow Your Heart Animal Rescue is a 501(c) (3) organization with a simple mission- saving animals. To us, Follow Your Heart is more than just a name; it is our driven purpose. We are an all foster based rescue in Mesa, Arizona. By foster, we mean that there are loving people who willingly take in these beautiful transient creatures and do their very best to provide them with safety, security and love. We have 10 unpaid board members, some of which have full time jobs in addition to their services to the rescue.

Throughout our history we have saved thousands of dogs from euthanasia, many of them simply because of their breed, their age, physical disabilities, illnesses or just plain fear. This is the core of why we do what we do. While we openly take in puppies and dogs who are in good shape, our focus is on saving those who are most likely to be thrown away, abandoned and unloved. This organization was founded on the principle that all life is precious and should be given the chance to be loved, cherished and cared for.

Our mission is to reduce the number of homeless and euthanized pets by rescuing the dogs whose lives and/or well-being are at risk. We provide them with basic needs and care and place them with loving families. We do our best to eliminate the stigma of “un adoptability” brought on by breed, age, and physical condition.
