Minnow’s legacy
His paw prints are the reason we keep going.
Healing Heelers Animal Rescue Inc. was started in honor of Minnow — an amazing dog who lived his best life surrounded by love and care.
Minnow was found as a tiny puppy on the side of the road, likely discarded like trash. He could not have been found by a better person, and he grew into a dog who was deeply loved and cherished.
He left this world far too soon, but Minnow left his paw prints on our hearts forever. In his memory, we will continue to love and cherish every animal we can help. We may not be able to save them all, but the ones we do will be loved and cherished like Minnow.
