The Heart of Jesus Ministries is a non-denominational religious organization interested in providing services to those lost through the cracks of existing social and spiritual organizations. We work with both people and animals. Please read more about us in Our About Me Page.

Our animal program for abused animals consists of a 1-2 year recovery period followed by an intense training program to become a therapy animal. Your donation would help with housing, food, or vet care for one of the animals currently in our care. A full time volunteer lives with and cares for the animals in a family type environment, they are not in cages or small kennels, other than for training purposes. They have a big outdoor play area that is confined to approx 500 sq ft. We are working towards expanding that and adding an animal gym to help the neurologically damaged animals as well as help train the animals. During their recovery time they learn to play, get along with other animals, learn house rules and become physically and emotionally healthy.

Once the training program has been completed and the animal has passed their test they are adopted out by therapists or others interested in using therapy animals to assist others. The adoption process is complex and thourough to ensure the well being of the animals once they leave the ministry.

The two pictures you see are of the same adopted dog, Molly. The first picture is Molly now. She has gained the weight she needed and has grown a beautiful full coat of then thickest, softest hair imaginable. She knows what toys are and what they are for. She no longer cringes or jumps when people move fast around her. She does however have permanent brain damage and is uncoordinated and forgetful. She will not be adopted out due to these issues, but has made a place for herself in the ministry. She is very helpful with new dogs coming in. Molly has become a therapy dog for other dogs.

The second picture is of her a few weeks after she had come to us and had had her first grooming session. The groomer had styled her hair to fall so that she appeared to have more hair. The light colored spots you see are bare skin that was cracked and healing. She was approx. 20 pounds underweight and had a heartworm infection. She had been found tied to a dumpster with 9 puppies, 5 of them dead due to Molly's inability to produce milk to feed them.

We currently have 7 rescued dogs, two in recovery and two in training. We are happy to announce that we have adopted out several dogs, and many cats and kittens. They are all doing well in their new homes!
