Mighty Hearts Project Mission

Mighty Hearts Project was founded in 2017. We are a voluntary 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by owners of dogs who have benefited from Mitral Valve Surgical Repair. Each founding member has had a unique experience with their dog’s diagnosis, pre-surgical treatment, intervention, post-surgical challenges, and recoveries.

We feel passionately about bringing visibility to this surgery by sharing our knowledge and collective experiences with the world. Our goal is to advance the care for dogs with MVD by collaborating with the world’s top veterinarians and supporters alike to globally bring our families the most current research in palliative care treatments and updates on emerging successful techniques regarding mitral valve disease and repair.


Real Impact. Real Lives.
