About us.
Cheerys Hearts is a non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue, care, and treatment of stray animals. Founded by Richard and "Lucky" Waxman in December 2000, our mission is to provide essential feeding, medical care, and rehabilitation to abandoned pets. In addition to our rescue efforts, we also operate the "Paws & Hearts" pet therapy visiting program, offering companionship and comfort to those in need.
