JACKSONVILLE, Texas (TXAN 24) – In 2019, Stephanie Hassell turned her heartbreak over the loss of her beloved dog, Bella, into a mission to save countless others.
Since founding Bella’s Heart, a nonprofit dedicated to providing heart-worm prevention and treatment for low-income families, Stephanie and her team have worked tirelessly to raise awareness about the dangers of heart-worm disease and tackle the growing stray dog crisis in Cherokee County.
Now, Bella’s Heart is celebrating a major milestone: the completion of new kennels that will greatly enhance their ability to care for animals in need.
A New Chapter of Care
The newly constructed kennels provide a safe and secure environment for abandoned and stray dogs, allowing the organization to house more animals while they await medical care or placement in foster homes.
Continuing the Mission
In addition to the new kennels, Bella’s Heart remains committed to providing financial assistance for heartworm prevention and treatment, educating the public about the disease, and addressing the stray dog crisis in Cherokee County.
