About Us

Serving Galt & Surrounding Communities

Called to Care. Committed to Change.

First and foremost, we are two women who love dogs. We have had dogs our entire lives and have fostered for over a decade between the two of us. We have always had a passion for dogs and wanting to make a difference, so we decided it was time to take the next step and start our own rescue. We chose the city of Galt to be our home base because it includes Sacramento County and San Joaquin County. We have seen a need in the community for help with animal services and wanted to be a part of the change that needs to happen. When we decided to start our rescue, there was no dog rescue in the town of Galt. We knew we were being called to do more and that is when Heart of Galt Rescue was founded.

Our focus is pregnant momma dogs, new mommas, and babies as well as orphaned puppies. We love investing time and love into these pups at a time when they need it the most. We want to ensure they are raised in a healthy environment, ensuring they are spay/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped as they find their new homes. We strive to help advocate for these animals at a time of extreme need and vulnerability. We want to help educate the public as well as advocate without judgement. We hope to make a positive impact in our community and surrounding communities by being the change that needs to happen to help with the overpopulation of dogs. We are excited to join the rescue community and cannot wait to see what the next chapter holds for us.

Help Us Continue the Mission

Rescue work takes heart — and resources. Your support allows us to provide lifesaving medical care, responsible spay and neuter services, and safe foster homes for mommas and puppies in need. Every contribution, big or small, makes a lasting impact.

I’m so glad I decided to adopt through Heart of Galt Rescue 🐾 It is evident that a great deal of care is taken in the process to find a home for these pups. From their quick responsiveness during the application process to the support and resources they continue to provide for the families that give them a home, you can have confidence that these pups are in great hands until they can be in yours 💕

Heart of Galt Rescue was so easy to work with! If anyone is looking to adopt a dog I highly recommend!
Julia Williams
We adopted our dog from Heart of Galt Rescue 🐾 They were very quick to respond and so kind and easy to work with. We are so happy with our decision to adopt a dog rather than shop. We needed a friend for our little Odie and ended up adopting Mama Toto who is now known as Lola 🩷 They are a match made in heaven!

I had put in adoption applications to a number of rescues with little to no communication back. It was a little discouraging. Heart of Galt Rescue were very quick to respond and clear in next steps which I so appreciated. At the meet and greet, it was clear to me the great care these little pups received and the dedication to finding loving homes for them. I would highly recommend and encourage donating if you are not able to adopt. Thank you, Rhonda and Brittany!!

We cannot thank Heart of Galt Rescue enough for bringing Bruno (formerly Rudolf) into our lives!. The adoption process was smooth, and it was clear from day one how much they care about every animal in their program. Bruno has settled in perfectly and has become the heart of our home. We are so in love. If you're looking for your next family member, we 100% recommend this amazing rescue! #AdoptDontShop #HeartOfGaltRescue

Awesome rescue and awesome ladies! Fast response when I needed help! A momma and her babies were in danger of being given away for free!! We now can happen with free puppies. Heart of Galt was quick to take this family in and save them. Very professional, and you can tell the puppies love them. Highly recommend going out and checking them out

Heart of Galt Rescue is AMAZING! They helped with my Doberman's neuter and provided multiple resources as well as dog food! Blessed to have such an incredible organization in the community. Thank you Heart of Galt for always putting the animals first.
