Every great movement begins with a few who step forward first. Our Founding Contributors will be remembered as the ones who turned compassion into action, helping Wild Heart Haven and the Wild Heart Foundation take their very first steps toward ending Florida’s kill-list crisis and building a permanent refuge for dogs in need.

Goal
Wild Heart Haven and the Wild Heart Foundation’s vision requires $750,000 to bring our first permanent sanctuary to life. But we’re not asking for it all at once, we’re building step by step, with every milestone opening new doors for dogs in need.
Phase 1 Goal: $200,000 → launch fund for land down payment, fencing, and operations
Phase 2 Goal: $500,000 → land secured + expanded kennels and wellness facilities
Phase 3 Goal: $750,000 → fully realized sanctuary with enrichment spaces, housing, and educational outreach
Every dollar gets us closer. Our Founding Contributors will be remembered as the first names to step forward and lay the foundation for a refuge that will save lives for decades to come.
Wild Heart Haven has filed for federal nonprofit (501(c)(3)) recognition and anticipates approval in early 2026. Under IRS rules, once approved, tax-deductible status is retroactive to our filing date. This means that all contributions made now will be eligible for tax deduction once our status is finalized.
Until that approval is confirmed, please note that contributions are not currently tax-deductible. We will provide formal donation receipts to all of our Founding Contributors once approval is granted.
