When you shop at the iHeartDogs store, a portion of that money goes to Greater Good Charities, an organization known for helping many animals in need. Through Greater Good Charities’ GOODS Program, many animal shelters and rescues receive food and other essential supplies. Those donations have saved the lives of many animals, including a former stray named Tess.
Tess used to be a neighborhood outcast in Comer, Georgia. However, she deserved a better life than that, so a foster family from Doggie Harmony in Decatur agreed to take Tess into their care. Jennifer, the foster mom, already has a house full of dogs, but she’s happy to open her heart to others.
Doggie Harmony receives food and crates from the GOODS Program, so those donations help Jennifer easily support Tess while the puppy waits to be adopted. Tess was part of Jennifer’s pack for a whole year, but all the waiting was worth it when the perfect adopters arrived.
A New Life for Tess
Tess is now part of a family with three children. His home is in a nice area for walking and he has a fenced yard. Plus, her owners work from home, so she gets to be with her people as much as possible. He patiently waited for a forever home for so long and he hit the jackpot!
Because Doggie Harmony receives donations from the GOODS Program, they don’t have to spend as much of their funds on food. Instead, they can focus their money on other areas of care such as medical needs.
“Some of our fosters live in rural areas where there often isn’t even a county animal shelter to support strays.” Doggie Harmony wrote. “The GOODS Program allows us to help these fosters take in and feed many strays, while Doggie Harmony works on evaluation and a forever home. We are very grateful to have this program as it expands our foster family to some of the areas of greatest need.”
