The Heart of Matisse helps families keep their beloved pets fed, safe, and home — where they belong.

Matisse was more than a dog — he was empathy in fur. He taught us how simple acts of kindness could change a day, a mood, even a life. When we lost him, we promised to keep spreading that love.
The Heart of Matisse was born from that promise — to keep pets and people together, no matter what life brings.
