About BrightHaven

Sanctuary

For Senior and Special Needs Animals

At the BrightHaven Sanctuary a regimen of raw meat-based diet, classical veterinary homeopathy, animal Reiki, some conventional care, immune and organ support and lots of love have paved the way for the miracles of healing for which the sanctuary is well known. We truly believe the path of natural healing is appropriate for all seasons in the circle of life. Sanctuary animals typically live longer, healthier lives and then experience the comfort and dignity of a natural death in the arms of the ones they love. Healing and peaceful hospice journeys have thus become the BrightHaven path.

Holistic Education

For Animal Lovers

When we share our learning with the community through education outreach, we truly believe we are a small part of helping our planet become a better place in which we can all live peaceably together.  Here at BrightHaven, animal lovers may find many resources, including information on classical veterinary homeopathy and raw food diet, consultations for your elderly animal by Gail Pope, and seminars on animal Reiki and other healing art applications for animals.

Rescue

For Shelter Animals Most in Need

In 2010, BrightHaven expanded into the world of animal shelter rescue with BrightHaven Rescue operations, placing animals at risk for euthanasia into foster and forever homes. These animals are mostly elderly or have special medical concerns. BrightHaven Rescue seeks to give back to animals the unconditional love and companionship that they have offered humankind throughout their lives. In the rescue operation’s time of service, BrightHaven saved the lives of over 300 animals and, with the community’s support, we are continuing in these endeavors. Please join our email network in support of BrightHaven Rescue to save animals’ lives, by clicking on the button located on the upper right hand corner of this page. You will also receive updates for seminars in the healing arts and other BrightHaven events.

General

BrightHaven was founded in the early 1990’s by Richard and Gail Pope, who have dedicated the last 22 years of their life to BrightHaven Sanctuary operations.  With continued funding, the BrightHaven legacy will remain and continue on into the future for the nation’s next generation of animals and their human companions.
