Nova's Heart Animal Support Services We are a 501c3 non profit organization helping the pets of those in crisis and aiding our local rescues when we are able.

One fall day I was getting gas and noticed a young man with a beautiful but skinny dog in the grassy area near the service station. I always carry dog treats and food in case I find a stray needing food or need to use a treat to help lure a rescue from its hiding spot. I approached the young man and asked him if I could give his dog a treat, he said I could and it would be much appreciated. She was very happy to get it and greeted me with a wag of her tail, I asked him if he could use some food for her and he said that would also be very much appreciated. When I returned with the food, he and I chatted a minute about her, him saying that she was his best girl and her name was Nova. After I spent a minute petting her and saying goodbye I turned and went back to what I had been doing. I thought about the two of them constantly for a week and then decided to see if some of the other rescuers in our area would join me in providing something for the pets of our cities homeless. Through the resources of the HUB we are going to be able to help feed, give warmth and minor veterinary care to those who need it. Named after that beautiful Furr girl, Nova’s Heart is a group of individuals from various rescue groups around the Shreveport/Bossier Louisiana area who want to help the pets of our cities homeless.

We are now located at Hope House, 762 Austen Place, Shreveport, La. 71101
We are closer to the people we serve and Hope House has been a huge blessing to our organization!

We are so excited to be at Paws in the Park powered by Real Estate to the Rescue next Saturday. We are also sad that this will be the last one. Please come out and support this wonderful event that supports our local animal organizations. They have done so much for all of us over the years and we hate to see them go but we know it is very hard work all year long to get ready for this great event.
To all the realtors and sponsors we want to let you know how very much you are appreciated and we hope you get a moment of rest since you have worked so hard year round for all of us for 10 years. ❤️❤️❤️

🐾❤️ ONE LAST PAWS IN THE PARK. ❤️🐾

After 10 incredible years, it’s time to share some bittersweet news.

The 10th Annual Paws in the Park will also be our FINAL Paws in the Park. 🐶🐱

For a decade, Paws in the Park has brought together animal lovers, families, rescues, local businesses, volunteers, and some pretty amazing four-legged friends for one big day dedicated to celebrating animals and supporting the organizations that care for them.

What started as an idea grew into something bigger and more special than we ever imagined. ❤️

Our directors are all volunteers with full-time careers, families, and commitments of our own. As Paws in the Park has grown, so has the time and work required to make it happen. After a lot of thought, we decided that 10 years is the perfect place to close this chapter.

But we’re not going quietly. 😉

Today, October 1st, is vaccination day from 9-11:30. We do not take anyone that arrives after 11. We always want to give our clients the time they deserve so please come early. Can’t wait to show you all the pups and kitties we hope come in for their shots.

We serve the pets of the homeless, low income, Veterans, and disabled. Proof of income or status is required. If you live in Caddo Parish it is a law to have your pet spay/neutered and we must have proof of that.

As September draws to a close, we wanted to share out our wishlist for the month. We are running low on cat and dog treats, and we can always use more dry cat and dog food.

Our friends over at Hollywood Feed are happy to be a drop off location for donations. You can purchase items there or bring them in and drop them off, just let them know at the register that the items are for Nova's Heart.

We are so grateful to them for being such a great community partner for us and always being willing to lend a helping paw!
