Heeler Houla House Rescue (H3R) started when a small group of rescuers began working together in 2011. Its' mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and place Australian Cattle Dogs (Heelers), Catahoula Leopard Dogs, and herding breeds in loving homes, although we do accept other breeds as well when possible. H3R works to promote rescuing pets as a healthy and compassionate alternative to supporting the breeding industry. H3R team members are huge advocates of spaying and neutering as an effective means to fight the current problem of overpopulation and homeless companion animals. Also, studies show that when your animals are spayed and neutered, they are expected to have a longer life span.

H3R is a foster home-based rescue, which means there is no facility to stop by to meet the animals. Not only do the team members open their homes but so do families who want to help and share the same mission as H3R. All animals are vaccinated, treated for any illnesses, socialized, attend specific training courses if needed, spayed/neutered, and prepared for their new lives as beloved family members before adoptions occur. All applicants will submit an application for approval, a home check, a vet reference check, etc. H3R's plan is to match every dog with its forever family and every family with their forever companion.

Board of Directors: Candice Souder, Jennifer Johnson-Parmer, and Tammy Souder.
