Heart of the Earth
Sanctuary & Rescue
Our Commitment to Animal Welfare
The Heart of the Earth Sanctuary and Rescue (HOTE) is a non-profit animal welfare organization founded by Kerry Weide that provides a loving home and veterinary treatment for abandoned and unwanted animals. HOTE is a sanctuary, rescue without borders and animal rights advocacy group who is committed to the promotion of the rescuing and adoption of homeless, abandoned, neglected and abused animals by creating an alliance with other sanctuaries, advocacy groups, rescues, and animal shelters.
Our Journey
Founded in 2017, our path has been guided by compassion and a deep respect for all living beings. Each rescue, recovery, and adoption adds a new chapter to our story: one filled with hope, healing, and the belief that every animal deserves a chance to thrive.
Our Purpose
We exist to protect, heal, and speak up for animals in need. Through rescue, rehabilitation, and advocacy, we work to create a kinder world where compassion knows no borders and every animal has the opportunity to live a safe, happy life.
Our Wish
Every act of kindness helps transform a life. Your donations provide food, shelter, and medical care for our animals; adoptions give animals a loving forever home; and volunteering brings hands, hearts, and hope to our daily mission.
