We are are group of volunteers and animal advocates who love helping our community pets.
We received our 501c3 in October 2015. In May 2019 we moved our offices over to Hope House, 762 Austen Place, Shreveport, La. 71101.
In the last 12 years we have vaccinated well over 2000 dogs and cats thanks To support from our donors. Our vaccination days are the 1st and 3rd Thursday of every months from 9-11:30. We ask that people get there before 11 so we can give them the time they deserve before our closing time. We have to purchase these vaccinations.
Once a month our veterinarian, Dr. Caleb Killian of Cornerstone Veterinary Hospital, comes in and holds a free rabies clinic for our clients. This is done the 4th Wednesday of every month from 11-12:30 unless otherwise posted on our page.. All of these services are provided at no cost to those who qualify and are all done with donations.
We have new clients every week coming in to the office. Our education is getting out to the public and we couldn't be happier!!
Another aspect of our program is that we provide food and supplies for the pets. We started out handing out about 10-15 gallon-sized bags of dog food a week. We are now handing out 400-500 pounds of dog and cat food a week. Food and supplies are available Wednesday 9:00-12:30 and Friday 9:00-11:30 at our office at Hope House, 762 Austen Place, Shreveport, Louisiana, 71101. All of the pet food is provided by donations from our community.
In December 2016 we were awarded the 'Best Charitable Group of 2016' by SB Magazine. We have also worked with local organizations like The Family Criminal Justice Center, The Caddo District Attorney's Office Special Victim's Unit, Bossier Sheriff's Office, and Veteran's Administration to help the local community when in need of assistance with their animals if the human is in a crisis.
Please have a look at our pictures over the years.
Our organization is run by volunteers and completely on donations. We are thankful for those who support us and believe in our mission.
Established in November of 2014, Nova's Heart is dedicated to providing
food, collars, harnesses, leashes, and vaccinations ,for the pets of those experiencing homelessness or going through a crisis.
