HARTT, Inc. (Humane Animal Rescue and Trapping Team) is a volunteer-based Arizona nonprofit organization that humanely captures lost family pets, homeless dogs, and homeless cats who are severely injured.
Xander was one a lost dog that was called in by her family. I tagged along in hopes of witnessing a rescue mission.
UPDATE: After being rescued, Xander’s family no longer wanted to keep her so they left her with the HARTT team to find her a new home.
UPDATE: By the end of December 2018, Xander found a new home with two new furry siblings.
