HeARTs Speak

HeARTs Speak A nonprofit using creativity & art to amplify the lifesaving work of animal welfare organizations.

HeARTs Speak is a nonprofit organization that works with shelters and rescues to change the way the world sees homeless pets. Our goal is to help more animals find homes through improved imagery and marketing, so our programs provide the free partnerships with creatives, skill-building resources + training, and creative tools that make those efforts more turn-key. We believe that visibility for an

imal welfare organizations leads to positive outcomes for the animals they serve AND helps to change the way the community thinks about pet adoption and sheltering organizations. We believe that the act of shining a light on and gathering attention for homeless pets aids in and amplifies the lifesaving capacity of animal shelters + rescues. We believe that creating community connections for animals in need can help decrease length of stay, increase adoptions and literally save lives. We believe in lifelong learning, providing opportunities for new skill building + training, and old dogs learning new tricks

We believe in collaboration, partnerships, sharing information and the re-invention of no wheels.

This is why we love our members.... they see things that could easily be overlooked and bring them to our attention.

"It’s kitten season. There are cute kittens, there are pretty kittens… and then there’s Furlock, the tiny tabby with the resting kit face of a Victorian statesman who has seen things.

This is the cat who enters a room and immediately judges your life choices, your outfit, your posture, and your browser history. A face only a mother could love, equal parts Winston Churchill, Grumpy Cat, and “I know what you did…”

Furlock isn’t just a kitten. He’s a presence.
He’s the silent‑judgy prodigy, the master of unimpressed glances, the tiny detective of your personal failings.
