Our Mission

Angel’s Retreat is here to help dogs who need additional support and care prior to being adopted, and to provide a home to those in need of fospice care. 

We partner with established shelters who can benefit from an outside source that can house their animals for a given period of time, providing a relaxed and quiet environment for training and care that is not possible in larger/urban spaces.
​

Why We Do This

The shelter environment is stressful and confusing for animals.  Under these circumstances animals will not display their best behaviors and behavioral issues will become exacerbated.  

In a study of behaviorally challenged dogs, 90% of those dogs who went into foster for 30 days or less had a 90% live outcome compared to 44% live outcomes in the average shelter.

Pet-loving, Dedicated Humans

Melissa & Geoff Heisey have been fostering and rescuing special needs dogs for over 15 years.  They hold a special place in their hearts for seniors and neglected animals.
