Angel’s Rest Animal Sanctuary

Established 2009

Mission Saving lives one companion animal at a time.

Serving Our Community Angel’s Rest Animal Sanctuary has always sought to help
seniors—human, canine, feline, and others. By launching the ELDER PAWS program this year, the homebound/senior-companion pet connection is bridged even further. We specifically search nearby kill shelters for pets deemed “unadoptable” by others due to their advanced age, terminal condition, chronic ailments, open wounds, disabilities, and even temperament issues, all of which place these loving pets first in line for euthanasia. As a result, we have established ourselves as a pet-hospice type facility, which provides around-the-clock critical care. We operate a thrift store where donated items are resold at low cost to the community. Additionally, we support nearby churches and two homeless shelters in Cincinnati by donating surplus clothing and other items.
