For more than 30 years, BrightHaven served as a sanctuary, a school, and a voice for animals in need of healing, comfort, and peace.
We are a nonprofit organization that champions holistic care, hospice-supported natural dying, and meaningful support for both animals and the humans who love them.
Whether you’re a longtime supporter or just discovering us, you’re invited to explore our heart-centered approach to animal wellness—rooted in dignity, love, and connection.
Who We Are
BrightHaven began as a rescue and healing center for senior, disabled, and chronically ill animals. Over time, our mission expanded to include caregiver education, hospice consulting, and advocacy for a natural approach to aging and dying. Today, our focus is on preserving this wisdom, sharing it freely, and offering compassionate resources to pet parents and professionals alike.
