Tiny PawsHealing Hearts

How it began

It started with Phoebe.

A five-pound dog, a hard season, and a family that discovered how much comfort a little dog can bring.

“Phoebe came to us at a very critical time. She was our first little dog, and she stole our hearts.” Heather Rohrer, co-founder

Phoebe helped Mike through his recovery from spinal surgery. Seeing how much comfort a five-pound dog could bring started our passion for these little dogs as companions and emotional support.

Tiny Paws Healing Hearts grew out of that season. We want to create a place where people can come find a best friend, and where our puppies go on to bring comfort, hope and joy to the people who love them.

Phoebe's first litter gave us Sampson, Sully and Melody, the three puppies Heather drew into our logo.

Our mission

Healthy, well-socialized puppies with exceptional temperaments.

We responsibly raise Morkies Present, and in the future Yorkshire Terriers Future and Maltese Future, while honoring God through compassionate stewardship, lifelong learning and ethical breeding. Every puppy is more than a pet. Every puppy is a life entrusted to our care.

Our vision

A trusted name for comfort, health and heart.

We hope every puppy we raise is known for its health and temperament and for the comfort and encouragement it brings. We're committed to continual learning and to sharing what we learn with puppy families, fellow breeders and our community.
