A Facebook plea for donations went out to Have a Heart Humane Society followers for pets in the Lake Isabella fire area. All day Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, Tehachapi pet lovers dropped off dog and cat food, pet beds, goat and chicken food, pet toys, cat litter boxes and so much more at the Radio Shack. The pile got bigger and bigger. Have a Heart volunteers went into their barn storage of donated items and pulled out large and small traveling carriers, wire cages, and exercise pens. Naomi...
Tuesday, May 31, five year old Leilani West asked Hitching Post Theater General Manager Chris Thurlow to pick one lucky ticket from nearly 2000 sold by Have a Heart volunteers.

Have a Heart Humane Society has been approached by a Tehachapi Eagle Scout to work with him and his troop on a community service construction project. We have given the idea a lot of consideration. Have a Heart proposes to work with the scouts to help some of the feral cat colonies in Tehachapi. Why does Tehachapi have feral cats? Feral cats are the offspring of stray or abandoned pets that were not spayed or neutered. Have a Heart will ask business owners, residents and our own volunteers to...
All of us at Have a Heart Humane Society would like to wish all of you and your pets the happiest and healthiest of holidays. We have had an incredible year, lots of ups and only a few downs. We haven't set any adoption records, but we have found some wonderful new homes for over 200 pets. We took several dozen cats and dogs from nice folks who found them here in Tehachapi and couldn't keep them, rescued seven dogs at one time (the mom and her 10-month-old pups) from an equipment yard on South S...

Thinking about adopting a dog or a cat? Have a Heart Humane Society would like to pass on some information that we hope will be helpful. Should you buy from a breeder or a pet store, adopt from a shelter or from a pet rescue? If you buy a pet from a dog breeder, make sure you have thoroughly checked out the breeder first, not just online but by visiting their facility, and make sure you see all of the facility. Many breeders are not breeding to improve the breed, but are, in fact, backyard breed...
We are asking for help for the dogs and cats at the Mojave Shelter. The shelter is in dire need of blankets, towels, rugs, pet beds, dog and cat treats and chews. Avoid blankets with stuffing, feathers and fringe and rugs with rubber backing or fringe. Please wash and bag items before donating. And please don’t forget this shelter when you’re thinking about adding a new pet to your family. Weeks ago we reported rescuing seven small dogs from an equipment yard on South Street. We dubbed them the...
