Two cartoon dogs with halos and blue collars against a turquoise background with the words "LOVE" in large letters, and the message "Have A Heart Animal Welfare Fund" at the bottom.

Have A Heart works directly with homeless and needy dogs throughout Ulster County by helping provide food, emergency medical care, spay and neuter services, and support for dogs living in low-income households. They also work closely with local animal control facilities to help abandoned dogs find loving homes.

Every dollar raised helps support the care of local animals.

We’ll be spending the day outside with live music on the backyard stage, local vendors, dog people, cold beer, and, yes, you can bring your friendly dog!
