HELP H.E.A.R. GET OFF THE GRID

A BIG THANKS TO

For Donating 2 Marine Batteries

AND

We now currently have 6 marine batteries which totals to almost 650 amp hours.

Unfortunately, batteries and solar panels work together. Solar panels can only produce so much electricity per day.
We currently have more battery power than solar power and now need to build up our solar panels to match
our battery output so we can have plenty of FREE electricity. If you would like to help by purchasing 1 of the 5 solar panels
were going to need, simply call Sun Solar USA and let them know your buying a solar panel for us and they will take care of the rest.

A little solar education: If we can get 5 more 100 watt solar panels, that will give us a total of 645 watts worth of solar panels
times 6 hours of daylight a day = 3,870 watts of power a day. Enough to run all our lights, the computer, the telephone, a mini
refrigerator to keep our medications cold, a radio and even a small TV. 3,800 watts is almost enough to run this entire place.
We won't be able to run our washing machine or dryer, but we have a generator for that.

Help us get a Wind Generator

Your Donation to help us in getting a Wind Generator gets us one step closer to running
this Rescue totally off the Grid allowing us to use our donations for the animals instead of paying utility bills.

Because of your Donations
We got a Larger Generator to Handle our Washing Machine

I am happy to announce that we won't have to go to the laundromat any more. Since we lost our electricity
and running this rescue off the grid. We have adapted pretty well. The only thing we couldn't do with the
generator we had (900 watts) was the laundry. I had to go to the laundromat once a week to do the laundry
and it took a couple of hours each time. Well, through the cash donations we have received this Month I was
able to purchase a used 3000 watt generator. Our current generator runs the lights and helps to charge the
batteries and run the computer. I picked up this used generator for $80.00 and it works great. I am back to doing
the laundry here at the Rescue and drying them on a cloths line outside, just like my mother did when I was a kid.

Our Next Project at H.E.A.R.
A Rain Water Harvesting System

As most of you might know, our goal is to run this Rescue totally off the Grid and not rely on
any utility company to provide services that cost us money each Month. We lost our Electricity on
April 19, 2011 due to an electric bill that we just couldn't pay anymore because of a drop in donations.

We have totally run this Rescue off of Solar Panels, Batteries and a Generator and even though it took a
while to get into the groove of not having electricity we have managed to keep this Rescue running by making
changes in normal operations but were doing it. We have lights when we need it, a computer to update
things going on at the Rescue and a phone that we run off of MagicJack.

Our Facility was built back in the 1950's and it has it's own septic tank so none of our gray water goes into
the sewer system of Nashville. Our building is an old barn type structure that has a slanted roof sending 80%
of the rain water to one side of the building. If we were able to capture this water and filter it through a couple
of filtering systems it would be perfectly fine for the dogs to drink, give baths and wash down the Rescue.

This means NO more water bill of $50 a Month. We have the space to store the barrels, we could hook up an inline
pump on the water line which is wired to a battery so when we turn the water on it would be just like city water
coming out with the same type of pressure while the battery is charged by the solar panels. The rain water
would be filtered through 2-3 inline water filtering systems making it perfectly drinkable for the dogs to enjoy.

What would be the cost to build this system? With the cost of the barrels, plumbing parts, building a stand for the
barrels, filtering system, water pump, it's own battery and back up solar system to charge the battery, about $600.00

For the cost of a years supply of water from the city we could run this Rescue with all the water it needs
for ever at no more additional costs. Help us raise the funds we need through a donation to this Rescue.

Help H.E.A.R. come closer to their Goal of running this Rescue totally off the Grid

Help us FEED the Dogs at H.E.A.R.

We go through a 100 - 150 lbs. of dog food a day. As to the dog food brand, we usually purchase the
Walmart Old Roy Complete Nutrition in the Red Bag. It comes in a 44 lb. bag, but sometimes you can
catch the special bag that has a wide blue line at the bottom that gives an extra 4 pounds FREE for the
same price, which costs about $15.97 a bag + tx. We go through 2-3 bags a Day.

Click the Donate Button above and we will go and get it for you.

Or you can contact or go to your local Walmart and purchase any amount of dog food you like and let
the salesperson know that the H.E.A.R. will pick it up at the Walmart Neighborhood Market in Madison, TN

Then contact us that you purchased some dog food for us and we will go and pick it up for you.

WHAT H.E.A.R. IS ALL ABOUT

We Can Only Keep Helping, As Long As You Keep Giving.

MEET BUCK

THIS IS WHAT H.E.A.R. IS ALL ABOUT

Buck was Rescued off the Streets of Nashville. He was left and abandoned from a former family who lost their home.
Buck was on the Streets for about 3 months from what neighbors told me. As you can see he wasn't in the best of shape.
He had lost most of his hair from Mange and was infested with fleas, nobody would touch him or help him. The Pound was
called numerous times to come and catch him,but he would always hide when they showed up. People would throw
rocks and sticks at him to scare him off. When I found him he was very cautious when I came up to him and over time,
he came closer and closer to me until I was able to put a leash on him. Once I leashed him it's like he just totally gave up and
looked up at me with sadness in his eyes as though he was saying "Save Me"...

I grabbed Buck and put him in our Rescue Van and headed back to the Rescue. The first thing I did was feed him
and water him and gave him a little one on one attention. He ate and ate and filled himself up. I set up his dog house and
put some cedar chips in his new home. He walked right in and did about 2 circles and laid down, looked over at me
and went to sleep. He knew he was safe.

The next day I went to see him and assess his skin and hair loss issues and thought the best thing for him was to put
him on medication and just let him heal. Over the weeks he became more healthier and started to play again.
I noticed his skin clearing up and hair was starting to grow back. It took about 3 months of treatment,but eventually
his skin totally cleared up and all his hair grew back. Buck was a happy dog again...

Buck was fortunate he got a chance to come to H.E.A.R. and recuperate his heath issues and just be a dog and make new friends.
If the Pound would of caught him and since he was an abandoned dog with no home the Pound would of just put him to sleep.
This is a sad reality, but fortunate for Buck he did get a chance to come to H.E.A.R. and now he is back to normal.
He still has some issues and will need a little more time to come around from the abuse he must of gone through.
He only started to truly trust me after a few weeks. If your interested in Adopting Buck. He Looks about 8-9 years old,
he has not been neutered and only gets along with dogs that are smaller than him. He is very protective of his yard
from other Male dogs. So if you would like to offer Buck a home where he will be loved the rest of his life. Let us know what
sort of forever home you have to offer him. We do require you to be a home owner with a secure fenced in back yard.
He is a Newfoundland / Chow Mix Dog with a beautiful black shinny coat and loves to be petted. He weighs about 60 lbs.
He is NOT potty trained and has pretty much lived his whole life outside. He does have a lot of Love to give the right person.
I would only consider him going to a single dog home or a home with a dog who weighs no more than 35 pounds.
This way Buck can be King of the yard and will be a great family dog in time.

Check out our Adoption Qualifications listed below and let us know if you would like to Adopt Buck.

GIVE BUCK A HOME

Buck has a Happy Ending and this is what H.E.A.R. does best.

We Rescue the Ones other Shelters or Rescues didn't want to.

They deserve a Forever Home, Love and a Family just like any other Dog.

Give, so we can help more Dogs like Buck

Letter of Interest to Adopt from H.E.A.R. (This is part of your adoption application)

We ask those interested in Adopting a dog from H.E.A.R. that you submit a letter of introduction to us through email that you
would like to adopt a particular dog and tell us about you, your lifestyle, other family members, past pets, current pets,
and where the dog will eat and sleep. We would also like to know if the dog will be an allowed inside or kept outside.

You will then get to meet the dog your interested in adopting to see if you want to adopt them and to also see if the dog
likes their new home. This adoption goes both ways, you liking the dog and the dog liking you.

done if they haven't been done already. This way you will know for sure if your happy with the dog and the dog
is happy with you. We do not offer any refunds for Vet expenses should the adoption not work.

We have a 90 day refund policy on the adoption fee only. Return the pet for a full refund.

After 90 days, we will still take back any H.E.A.R. dog or for as long as they live. Should for some

another home or let them live out their lives here at the Rescue.
