HARTT - Hardin Animal Relocation and Transition Team
HARTT is a 501(c)3 nonprofit for rescue animals.
We provide fostering, vetting and transportation
from Tennessee to non-profit animal rescues and homes.
Hardin Animal Relocation and Transition Team (HARTT), was founded in November 2013 to provide life-saving avenues through transitioning and relocating adoptable animals from our area of pet overpopulation to areas where they have few adoptable pets. As a foster-based organization, HARTT operates completely from volunteer foster homes that provide a positive, healthy and loving environment for these animals as they prepare to become life-long companions for their adoptive families.
In 2014, HARTT took in, vetted and found rescues or permanent homes for over 850 dogs (and about 6 cats)! In 2015 we handled almost 820 animals. We are a “rescue without borders,” thus, we help animals in the tri-state area of Northeast Mississippi, Northwest Alabama and Central/Southwestern Tennessee. We have sent animals to new homes in far-away places such as Maine, Alaska, New Hampshire, and Minnesota. Most of them traveled via paid animal transport van, but both a cat and a dog flew Delta DASH to from Tennessee to Fairbanks, Alaska! We are extremely proud of our ability to help local dogs and puppies (and some cats and kittens) that would not have many opportunities to find these great homes across the country without our rescue’s efforts.
