About us | Heartstrings Pittie Rescue

Compassion in Action for Pitties

At Heartstrings Pittie Rescue, we are dedicated to transforming the lives of pit bull–type dogs through compassion, advocacy, and hands-on care. Operating from our Houston facility, we believe every dog deserves a second chance, regardless of their past. Our passionate foster-based approach includes rehabilitation, medical care, and personalized adoption matching, and we strive to reshape the narrative around these misunderstood breeds. Together, we're pulling heartstrings and changing lives—one Pittie at a time.
