Our Purpose
Healing Hearts exists to help provide shelter for vulnerable animals and to share the healing powers that animals have on people and society. Healing Hearts was conceived with the intention of not only helping animals heal but also helping people heal by giving them an opportunity to experience an environment embedded with serenity, inspiration, peace, and relaxation. Healing Hearts serves to inspire guests with values of compassion, kindness, and friendship. Healing Hearts is dedicated to building a community for philanthropic individuals who have a deep love for animals, helping make positive changes for our world, who thrive on giving back, appreciate cultural exploration, community engagement, and unique perspectives. Our community is committed to helping heal the future not just for the animals we shelter but for children, adults, and future generations. At Healing Hearts, we are investing in dedicated programs that support the well-being of children and adults while providing dedicated support and care for rescued farm animals. The environment at Healing Hearts promotes health, connection, and friendship. The land, trails, and gardens are designed to provide visitors with peace and tranquility, allowing visitors to recharge and unplug. Most importantly, the farm invites guests to have some fun through engaging in agricultural work, feeding the animals, gardening, and much, much, more.
