We’ve had plenty to celebrate lately, and we couldn’t let these recent adoptions go by without sharing the good news!

Christopher, Duke, De Gallo, Jiminy Cricket, Cappuccino and Zara have all officially been adopted and are settling into their new lives.

Every adoption has its own story. Some dogs are with us only a short time, while others take a little longer to find the right fit. Either way, watching them leave with their people is one of the very best parts of what we do.

These six are now onto their next chapters, and we’re so happy for every single one of them.

And, of course, there are still plenty of wonderful dogs at Heidi’s Village waiting for their turn. Stop by and get to know them—you never know who might be waiting for you.

We have a simple donation request that can make a big difference in a dog’s day: empty toilet paper and paper towel rolls.

With a few treats and a little creativity, something you’d normally toss in the recycling bin can become a fun enrichment activity for the animals staying at Heidi’s Village. Enrichment gives dogs an opportunity to use their noses, problem-solve and engage their brains — and sometimes the simplest things make for the best activities.

So before you recycle those empty cardboard rolls, start a little collection for us! Once you have a decent stockpile, bring them by Heidi’s Village and we’ll put them to good use.

And while you’re here, take a few minutes to meet some of our adoptable dogs. You may come in with a bag of cardboard and leave having met someone pretty special.

Sky Sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating some of the most vulnerable street dogs — those with urgent medical needs and nowhere else to turn.

Through expert veterinary care, behavioral support and a deep commitment to each animal’s healing, Sky Sanctuary helps prepare dogs for lasting, loving homes. Fueled by community support and unwavering determination, their team is committed to helping the street dogs who need them most.

One of those dogs is Gus.

Gus was found injured on the streets and battling heartworm when he came into the care of Sky Sanctuary Rescue. When he needed additional medical care, Sky Sanctuary turned to the veterinary team at Heidi’s Village.

After diagnostics and careful planning, a treatment plan was put in place, beginning with an FHO (Femoral Head Ostectomy) procedure to address his orthopedic needs. Gus did incredibly well through surgery and is now recovering in his foster home. After about a month of healing, he’ll begin the next step: heartworm treatment.

Gus still has a journey ahead of him, but thanks to Sky Sanctuary, his foster family and the veterinary team supporting his care, he’s moving toward a healthier, more comfortable life.

Stories like Gus’s are a great example of what can happen when animal welfare organizations work together and share their resources and expertise.
