SUCCESS STORIES
From rescue to reunion, every adoption is a victory. The dogs you’ll meet here have traded fear for comfort, loneliness for belonging, and shelter walls for family couches. Their stories celebrate the power of compassion — and the joy that comes when a rescue finds their forever home.
For the Heigl Foundation, these journeys are more than happy endings; they are living proof that our efforts matter. Each adoption reminds us why we fight for the vulnerable, why we invest in rescue, and why we believe so deeply in second chances. Sharing these stories is our way of honoring the animals and the families who welcomed them.
If you have adopted one of our dogs, please get in touch and tell us all about your new best friend.
Because of the dog's joyfulness, our own is increased. It is no small gift.Mary Oliver
