Bella Bear's Senior Pet Sanctuary

Bella Bear’s Senior Pet Sanctuary is a federally recognized veteran owned and operated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. 
We rescue, rehabilitate and provide life-long sanctuary and hospice care for abandoned and at-risk elderly dogs and cats in Joshua Tree and surrounding communities. 
We serve as a compassionate safety net for senior pets before they ever enter the shelter system.  We work to intercept owner surrenders by offering emergency,  transitional, or permanent care for elderly animals whose guardians are facing financial, medical crises, hospitalization, surgery, recovery, displacement, or end-of-life circumstances. Ensuring these beloved companions are not abandoned, euthanized, or lost in overcrowded shelters.
All services are provided free of charge to families in need. BBSPS-JT operates entirely through donations, sponsorships, and community support so that financial hardship never becomes the reason an elderly animal loses safety, stability, and love.
