Big Heart Project
17/04/2026
Hey everyone! There are a lot of new faces on this page so I figured Iβd introduce myself.
Iβm Shell, the founder of Big Heart Project
I live near Asheville with my husband, daughter and our 6 animals
Iβve been working in animal rescue for over a decade - as a volunteer, kennel technician, and grant writer. I have also been a registered veterinary technician for almost 7 years! I have traveled all around the world volunteering with animals π
I decided to start this organization back in 2022, and though things have taken a long time to get where we are at I am so excited for the future and have so many big plans for Big Heart Project
Saving animals is only possible with the help of others and my ears are always open to discuss things we can do to help. Feel free to comment or message me anytime to share your ideas!

I came across these posts this week and they immediately pi**ed me off, but then I noticed that they are oddly similar. Not sure what is going on and I will be diving deeper into this but it seems sketchy. Please be careful of posts like this online!!!!!!!! π§
More to come on thisβ¦.
