Helping Shelter Pets With Animal Communication

shelter pets

How can animal communication help shelter pets heal so they can find their forever home?

“When I think about animals who have been abused, rescued, or are in a shelter at risk of being euthanized, I feel hopeless and don’t know how to best help them beyond the basic care. How can animal communication help them?”

This is an especially common experience for big hearted caregivers working with shelter pets, rescues, fostering and rehabilitation with abused animals.

Many animal lovers and communicators don’t even try to help them because it feels so overwhelming.

But when it comes to helping shelter animals, rescued and often abused animals, confused animals, animals who are depressed, fearful, or grieving, animals in pain who need healing, fostered animals who need rehabilitation, this is a huge problem.

And a disservice to the very ones who need help the most.

It’s time to further your education on using your intuitive abilities for better results, and inspire you by teaching you powerful, and important animal communication and healing techniques that will make all the difference when you work with these animals.

Because when you are trying to help animals who have lost their homes, were injured, rejected, left behind, abused or worse, so they can find their forever homes?

You don’t want to fail them when they need you to listen.

You want to know what they need, answer their questions and concerns, explain why they are where they are, what’s going to happen to them.

You need to know how to help them through feelings of loss and betrayal by humans, so they can heal and find a new purpose.

You must know how to help them become adoptable.

And they need a choice about who they want to go home with, who they feel a renewed sense of purpose with, and who is a bad fit for them.

Learning HOW to help shelter pets begins with a conversation… with the animal.

Becoming a better – more competent – animal communicator is the way to help them do ALL these things.

I taught a good introduction to this topic along with many wonderful healing techniques you can use in the Advanced Animal Talk Mastery Course (the beginning course and other courses are in the Heart School of Animal Communication®).

And we went much deeper into this masterclass series on communicating and healing shelter pets.

It’s time to teach more of my unique approaches, what I’ve learned in working with these animals since 1993, and my Heart Wisdom techniques in this depth.

According to the most recent (2024) statistics, 6.5 million animals wound up in shelters.

Of those, roughly 2.7 million lost their lives in addition to their homes, friends and families.

Many were abused, many were rescued, many were fostered but many also had behavior problems that made it very hard to find them good homes.

Many of them were unadoptable because nobody took the time to communicate with them about their bad behaviors that came about through bad pet parenting, lack of good training and other issues.

Shelter pets often feel lost, confused, abandoned, and rejected.

They can be grieving, sick and injured.

They have no compassionate guidance, no chance to tell their story to someone who cares and can hear them or help them heal, regroup and move forward in their life.

Nobody knows how to prepare them to die either.

So tragic, this hurts my heart and I know it does yours too.

Let’s change that.

Together we can make the world a better place for animals and we who love them so dearly.

By becoming a better, more competent communicator in the Heart Wisdom Methods, you can help these animals heal, find a new sense of purpose, change their bad behaviors, and attract their perfect person so they have a wonderful, loving forever home.

When you do this right, animals and people can take a big breath of relief, feel safe together, more connected, confident and clear about what’s needed and wanted, and their lives can get back on track for harmony and alignment.

Shelters, rescue and foster people can do a much better job of it too, once you know how to speak their language.

Take a moment and consider what comes up for you when you think about communicating with these animals…

Some animal communication students (and even professionals) tell me they feel worried about what they’re going to hear, that the stories will be too painful to bear, that they will feel overwhelmed by it all and so they don’t even try.

Just the idea of what horrific things the animal may have experienced is enough to make them want to curl into a fetal ball and cry forever.

Feeling fearful and haunted by imagined abuses which causes trauma drama to we the people, especially we who are highly sensitive empathic types.

But if you don’t make an effort to connect and help them because of your own inner drama trauma, then not only do they go without the help – and after all, they are the ones who’ve actually lived through it — but you get stuck in the trauma and now need healing yourself.

One of the things that makes the Heart Wisdom Method of animal communication so unique is our focus on healing emotions for pets and people.

Because if you don’t do your inner healing, you’ll misunderstand their messages, or you’ll misinterpret what they’re trying to tell you through the filter of your own wounds.

When you do though, you become a better, more competent communicator and healer.

That’s why the way I teach animal communication is a spiritual journey to heal, evolve and grow into your best self using ALL your intuitive abilities.

The only way to get the Masterclasses is by being a Platinum member of the BEST online Animal Talk Coaching & Mastery Club.

You know you have inner healing to do because you can sense limitations, blocks and blind spots in your communication and in your life.

It’s why I’ve dedicated so much of my life, education and training learning about helping people heal (45+ years), healing, and teaching so I can guide YOU to be the best you can possibly be.

The Heart Wisdom program is a sequence of different trainings, and the further you go, the more competent you will be in my method.

My “right fit” qualified students move through four levels of competence: beginner, intermediate, advanced, and proficient.

You won’t find this level of training anywhere else.

Doing this critical self mastery and inner healing work is what makes the Heart Wisdom Methods different and so much more powerful than other animal communication programs.

It’s all about mastering yourself, growing your intuitive abilities at all levels, as well as improving your ability to communicate proficiently with animals.

These are the kinds of thought processes and healing I guide and coach my students and clients on that have such a profound impact on improving their ability to communicate and use their intuitive abilities with great results.
