Giant Hearts Giant Dog Rescue Dog rescue in Suffolk, VA

We are a 501c3, foster based dog rescue, with a passion for the dogs that many overlook. We operate on the passion and commitment our volunteers and fosters have for helping these giants.

Isaac Newton once said "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants"

Giant Hearts says "Sometime, even Giants need shoulders to stand on."
