Peace, Hope & Hospice
A book by Gail Pope & Lauren Urbais
BrightHaven’s mission is healing—for body, mind and spirit. For some animals, healing will bring about a new and longer life. For others, healing is a necessary preparation for death and the journey beyond. We give love, tender care, and compassionate assistance during the senior years as well as in the dying process.
For 20 years, our love and passion has supported more than 500 animals through this part of life. We wrote this book to help others who are helping loved animal companions to grow older gracefully in the best health possible.
