Animal rescue in Baxter, TN

Open Heart Animal Rescue is a small NO KILL rescue dedicated to helping save the lives of neglected, abused, desperate animals that have no voice. We rescue animals on Death Row in animal control centers, rehabilitate and find them permanent homes. We re-socialize the scared and abused and give them unconditional love and respect.
