Important Donation Update
(Tuesday, August 4th 2026)
In light of the recent wildfires impacting our Spokane-area community, HEART is actively helping support pets and families at the fairgrounds and beyond.
​
We are currently updating our Venmo donation link and QR code to ensure that all donations go directly to HEART and can be used for animal supplies, emergency needs, and the ongoing care required during this response.
​
Please DO NOT send donations using any previous Venmo link or QR code that you may have saved, screenshotted, or received earlier. A new, verified Venmo link and QR code will be posted here as soon as the update is complete.
Thank you for your patience, generosity, and continued support. Every donation helps us continue caring for animals in need and supporting our community during these wildfires.
​
Together, we can help keep our community—and our pets—safe.

HEART is grateful to Petco Love & ASPCA for awarding us grants for our work caring for the animals impacted by the recent Gray Road and Oregon Road fires. We are thrilled to be supported by such great organizations as we continue to care for the displaced animals in our wonderful community!
