How we vet charity partners

State humane-society accreditation
Verify that the organization is accredited by the state humane society, indicating compliance with high standards of animal welfare.
Adoption-rate transparency

What your donation funds
Your generous contribution from a vehicle sale of $1,500 to $3,000 can significantly impact Heart Wheels by funding essential spay/neuter programs that prevent overpopulation in communities. This not only saves lives but also reduces the number of homeless animals on the streets. Additionally, these funds can help maintain our no-kill shelters, providing safe havens for pets until they find forever homes. Every dollar you donate helps create a better tomorrow for animals in need.
How we route proceeds
At Heart Wheels, we take the validation of our partner organizations seriously. Before routing proceeds from vehicle donations, we conduct thorough vetting to ensure that all partners meet our criteria for animal welfare standards and transparency. This ensures your donation effectively supports verified charities committed to making a real difference in the lives of animals.
