My Heart Loves a Rescue

About this campaign

Because every tail wag starts with a safe place to grow.

For years, Friends of Gallia County’s Animals has been a lifeline for displaced, abandoned, and neglected pets right here in our community—working tirelessly to nurse them back to health, provide essential veterinary care, and place them in loving forever homes. Our volunteers do this out of love, not pay, and every animal that comes through our doors deserves the chance to thrive.

Friends—today, we’re dreaming bigger.

We have an opportunity to transform a building into a dedicated Puppy Building—a warm, safe space where young dogs can grow strong, receive early care, and begin socializing in a nurturing environment.

This space will help us save more lives, reduce stress for puppies in our care, and move them into homes faster—healthier, more confident, and better prepared for the families waiting for them. But we need your help to make it real.That’s where My Heart Loves a Rescue comes in. With each sweatshirt you buy, you’re not just wearing a message—you’re building a future.

Your support goes directly toward the Puppy Building Fund: renovations, heating and cooling, plumbing, fencing, and everything it takes to create a safe, welcoming place for puppies who’ve known too little comfort for too long.

This isn’t just merch… it’s a brick in a wall, a beam in a roof, and a soft landing for a life that’s just getting started.

This is community. This is compassion. This is what it looks like when a heart loves a rescue.
