The Joy In My Heart Foundation Donate to help our rescues by visiting our website at http://www.thejoyinmyheartfoundationinc.org/donate Thank you.

"The Joy In My Heart Foundation" is a 501(c)3 animal rescue non-profit organization dedicated to saving lives. This organization was inspired in loving memory of my beloved mother who was an animal advocate and my best friend, Joy Hanson. We are an all breed foster based rescue specializing in animals who have been surrendered by families who can no longer care for their pet based on terminal illn

ess or the death of their beloved human. We are committed to working with shelters, hospice and elderly facilities to help save the lives of your four legged family members when there is no one left to care. We are dedicated to finding homes through compassionate fosters and adopters who will provide a loving home. It is also our desire to help terminally ill and seniors remain in contact with their beloved pet through volunteers who will bring the animal to visit their owner in the elderly facility or hospice. While The Joy In My Heart Foundation's mission is to rescue and rehome the pets of owners who can no longer care for them due to terminal illness or death, we will not hesitate to help other animals in need when possible.

JULY 4TH SAFETY TIPS FOR PETS!

Independence Day celebrations can be dangerous for pets. Here’s how to keep them safe:

Keep pets indoors during fireworks. Create a quiet, secure space away from windows and doors. Turn on a TV, fan, or white noise machine to help mask the sound.

Secure your yard and home. Check fences, gates, windows, and doors in advance. Even pets who don’t normally try to escape may bolt when startled by loud noises.

Never use fireworks near animals. Both lit and unlit fireworks can cause burns, injuries, or toxic exposure.

Stick to your pet’s regular diet. Avoid table scraps. Foods like chocolate, grapes, onions, fatty meats, cooked bones, and anything heavily seasoned can be harmful or even deadly.

Keep alcohol and party items out of reach. Items like glow sticks, citronella candles, and lighter fluid can cause vomiting, drooling, or other serious issues if chewed or swallowed.

Only use products labeled for pets. Insect repellents with DEET are toxic to all animals, and many essential oils commonly found in “natural” products are especially dangerous to cats.

Use calming aids if needed. Products like anxiety wraps, pheromone diffusers (e.g., Adaptil or Feliway), and vet-approved calming chews or medications can reduce stress—especially for pets with a known noise phobia.

Don’t leave pets unattended outside. Even in a fenced yard, a frightened pet can dig under or jump over a barrier during fireworks.

Plan ahead if traveling. If you’re going out of town, make sure your pet sitter knows how to keep your animals calm and secure during fireworks, and confirm they have access to your vet’s info in case of emergency.

Make sure your pet’s microchip and ID tags are up to date. If they slip out during the commotion, current contact info gives them the best chance of getting home quickly.

It breaks my heart every time a rescue furbaby goes to the rainbow bridge 💔 2 days ago, Murphy passed away. We rescued him 10 years ago and he had the most wonderful forever Daddy, Tony. Thank you, Tony, for giving Murphy a wonderful home & life. ❤️

From Murphy’s forever Daddy- 💔💔💔
It is with a very heavy heart that I share that today at 12:20 pm my Murphy crossed the rainbow bridge while in my arms. I had the vet from Hearts and Halos come to the house to help with the transition.

I always knew that I would know that it was time but I thought that we had a few more weeks together until I came home from work on Monday and Murphy could barely stand, was hunched over, and could not get comfortable. Murphy was such a happy boy up until a little over 2 years ago when Darla passed away and Murphy seemed to get depressed and started to age quickly. After about 4 months I thought that bringing Sophie into our lives would help but it didn’t. About a year ago Murphy was diagnosed with dementia, hearing loss, and near blindness. The one thing he always did was get very vocal when it was time to eat and he would bark at me while I would get his food ready. I noticed about a month ago that he wasn’t coming into the kitchen for meals but I had to get him out of his bed and place him right in front of his food for him to eat.

Murphy came into my life over 10 years ago from the Joy in my heart foundation. I saw his picture and knew that I had to meet him. He was brought over the next day and never left. It was not easy at the beginning. Murphy was estimated to be about 5 years old, was found as a stray from the streets, and came to me with minimal social skills and a fractured pelvis. I took him to an orthopedic surgeon who told me that the fracture was untreatable and to keep him as comfortable as possible. The muscle to Murphy’s bladder did not completely close so he had an issue with urine leakage. We solved that right away with washable belly wraps which he willingly wore. That way he could go on the furniture and bed with no worries. The first 3 months he was with me he didn’t want to have anything to do with Darla or me. One day that changed and he wanted to sit next to me, cuddle, give me kisses, and cuddle with Darla.

He was the most photogenic little guy and I’m so glad that I have so many pictures of him, many which show him to seem to be smiling. I know that he was a happy little boy and Murphy knew that his dad loved him. Murphy’s life had his challenges but I know that for his final 10 years he knew that he was loved and safe. He is now pain free, running and jumping with his sister Darla. Dad loves you my MooMoo until we are together again.

Curtesy post to help find this cutie a forever home. If you live in So Calif and can give this boy a loving forever home, please contact the numbers below.

This precious boy is up for adoption and resides in Sun Lakes. I’m not quite sure breed but he is 13 lbs and approx 2 years old. He has all his shots, neutered, and is microchipped. He is house broken but has had a couple accidents. Cannot live on the golf course because he jumped the wall so you would not be able to put him out there at all unless you have him on a leash. I’m sure he would love walks and a nice big yard with grass. He loves kids and other dogs and is very affectionate. If anyone’s interested in meeting him, please give me a call at 909-855-0226 and I’ll set a meet and greet up with the owner. Or you can call owner Roberta at 909-757-9216.

Curtesy post to help find Benji a new forever home. If you live in So. Cal and can give him a great home, please contact Sandy at 909-855-0226. Also please share. ❤️

This is Benji a 7 yr old Jack Russell/Terrier mix. Benji is fixed , crate trained, potty trained, and listens to commands like sit, and lay down. He’s looking for a new home because the elderly lady that adopted him can’t handle him. She’s in her 80’s and he’s to active for her. She is currently fostering him until we can find him a new forever home. Benji needs to have a yard. He loves being out in the yard running around. But he also lays next to you while you’re watching tv. Benji weighs between 30-40 pounds. He’s friendly with other dogs, was raised with a buddy. He was also raised with a toddler so he’s good around kids. If anyone is interested in meeting him please call me Sandy at 909-855-0226.

This little girl is looking for a new home. She’s a little dog, very sweet but suffers from separation anxiety. Her owner had to go to assisted living and couldn't keep her. She's about 7 years old, spayed, not sure of her breed possibly terrier mix.
The best home for her would be someone elderly who's home the majority of the time. If interested please call Jacques at 619-550-7007.
