The Jason Debus Heigl Foundation was founded by Nancy and Katherine Heigl in honor of their beloved son and brother.

The focus of the organization is to increase awareness of inhumane animal treatment, support efforts for rescue, medical treatment, training and placement needs.

One of their programs, The Heigl Hounds of Hope, focuses on rescuing medium to large dogs from the shelter. Dogs are sent to "Doggy Boot Camp" where they go through training and prepare them for a new home and family.

To find out more information about The Heigl Hounds of Hope, the adoption process and to see the dogs currently looking for homes, visit Adopt A Pet or Dogtime.
