Our Lil' Bit of Heaven Animal Rescue and Sanctuary

Both a rescue and a sanctuary Our Lil' Bit of Heaven strives to save as many of the “underdogs” as we possibly can. The seniors, the ones with medical needs, the bully breeds, the overlooked and tossed away. All of which deserve as much as any other but, are overlooked time and time again. You can help us do that by volunteering (at the rescue or helping with events), fostering, forever fostering, adopting, donating (monetary and in-kind).

Our purpose is to save the lives of as many canines as we are capable of and find loving homes that are the perfect forever fit for them. To educate the public in proper care of their companions, assist families in financial distress to be able to keep their furry loved ones with them by supplying food, vaccinations, spay/neuter help, preventatives etc.
