An Animal Place of Love, Learning and Education

BrightHaven is a non-profit organization dedicated to the well being of senior, disabled, and special animals.

We have had the honor during the last 15 years of rescuing a number of special needs animals and through this enlightening experience have seen miraculous results when a balance of natural feeding, holistic care and modern medicine are used in our loving respectful family environment.

Having gained this gift of experience from the animals, we have now embarked on an ambitious program of education where our sole and uncompromising vision is to help many animals in the world to live out long lives in peace and happiness.

Please take a look at our website and learn about our family where many of the animals are over twenty and are still bright shining lights. Look into the eyes of some of our cats, see the excitement in the dogs especially those in wheel chairs and imagine the bustle of the chickens, geese and ducks. Lastly see the goats and magnificent Harley the Hog, all 700 lbs of him. BrightHaven is different and we truly believe through in-house care, learning and education we can make a difference.

If you wish to be part of this new and exhilarating way of helping the animals please send a donation however large or small to BrightHaven:
