My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Walnut, a 30 lb., 1 year old Mini Aussie mix in search
of his forever home. Despite his young age, Walnut has
already been through a lot, which has made him a bit
nervous and wary of new situations.

Though Walnut is
working super hard on becoming a brave boy, he’ll need
someone who is willing to be patient as he adjusts to his
new environment. Once he opens up (which doesn’t
take long!), Walnut is the most affectionate and cuddly
boy there is! He loves belly rubs, chewing on bones
(any kind, he’s not picky!), and wiggling his whole self all
over you!

Walnut has also very courageously overcome
his fear of leashes and enjoys taking long walks where
he can continue to work on his leash manners. Walnut does not like the crate, but his foster has no issues allowing him free roam of the house while gone. He enjoys being with other dogs and would do well in a home that already has another furry friend to play with!

Interested adopters should be prepared to continue helping Walnut feel confident when on his own.

Go meet their pets

At this time, Familiar Hearts Animal Society meetings are by appointment only.

We currently rely on our amazing web of generous fosters throughout the Philadelphia area and will do our best to make a meeting as convenient as possible for both human + animal.

Meetings will need to be coordinated through the foster of the animal you are interested in meeting.

More about this rescue

Mission Statement: To end the unnecessary suffering of homeless companion animals by serving as a refuge and enabling humans to provide them quality and compassionate homes.

Our Vision: Our mission is two-fold; we want to help abandoned pets and we want to help stop pet abandonment.

We operate using a network of kind hearted hands to help find homeless animals veterinary and behavior care and then match them with appropriate forever homes. We also strive to educate pet owners about resources they might utilize in order to best understand how to provide for their friends with furry paws, feathers or claws. We always do our best to help.
