Why Healing Heart Rehab is the event's charitable beneficiary

At the Healing Heart Rescue Roundup, we believe lasting change happens when compassionate people work together to improve the lives of animals in need. That's why we are proud to support Healing Heart Rehab as our charitable partner this year.

Healing Heart Rescue & Rehab embodies everything our event stands for: compassion, collaboration, education, and hope. Led by Debra, Joy, and Russell Bastow, they have dedicated their lives to rescuing, rehabilitating, and advocating for some of the most critically injured and neglected animals, often accepting the cases that many others cannot.

Their impact extends far beyond rescue. Through medical rehabilitation, public education, community outreach, and collaboration with shelters and rescue organizations, they are helping build a stronger, more united animal welfare community across Central Texas. 

They don't simply save animals, they inspire others to become part of the solution. Their unwavering belief that every animal deserves a chance reflects the very heart of the Healing Heart Rescue Roundup and the mission we hope to advance for years to come.
