About Heart of Glass Animal Rescue
Heart of Glass Animal Rescue
Based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Heart of Glass rescue was founded in 2022 as a safe haven for homeless, marginalized animals and to help fellow shelters and rescues, when needed. Our open arms policy for all animals despite their physical, mental, or behavioral challenges, provides the unbiased and loving environment these animals need. We are unique individuals with unique needs in life—and, our animals are no different. We are Misfits saving Misfits.
