From slobbery kisses to those knowing eyes that seem to understand us better than anyone else, pets have a way of healing hearts in ways words simply can’t.
They remind us daily of loyalty, resilience, and the quiet comfort of simply not being alone.

April is National Heartworm Awareness Month, and at Hobo's Healing Heart, we're using this time to remind our community that heartworm is a preventable disease — one that costs far less to prevent than to treat. Please note that applications for emergency grant funding involving a preventable disease, including heartworm, require documented proof of preventative care, and applications without that documentation will be denied.

Socializing your new puppy helps them grow into a confident, well-adjusted companion. Early, positive experiences with people, sounds, and situations can prevent fear-based behaviors later in life.

August is Itchy Pet Awareness Month—a timely reminder that chronic scratching, licking, or chewing in pets could signal allergies, parasites, or underlying health issues. Early detection and veterinary care can help prevent discomfort, infections, and improve your pet’s quality of life.

We didn’t get lost—and we didn’t let the storms stop us! Thanks to 59 incredible supporters, we raised $5,000 for Jake’s Fund and Hobo’s Healing Heart to help pets in need across Pennington County.

Reflecting on a record year of hope, healing, and gratitude—thank you for making it possible!
