Compassionate Senior Pet Welfare Sanctuary in Joshua Tree
Bella Bear’s Senior Pet Sanctuary – Joshua Tree (BBSPS-JT) is dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and providing lifelong sanctuary and hospice care for abandoned and at-risk senior dogs and cats in Joshua Tree and throughout the greater Morongo Basin, in addition to the elderly pets of patients in the Veterans Affairs Loma Linda healthcare system.
We provide a safe-haven where they can live out their remaining years in safety, comfort, and dignity.
Located on five peaceful acres, we offer free sanctuary support, local vet assistance, and end-of-life care.
Protecting Vulnerable Aging Pets In Sudden Crisis
We work to intercept owner surrenders by offering emergency and transitional care for elderly animals whose guardians are facing medical crises, hospitalization, surgery, recovery, displacement, or end-of-life circumstances. Ensuring these beloved companions are not abandoned, euthanized, or lost in overcrowded shelters after the death of their family.
Senior pets receiving temporary sanctuary care during an owner’s surgery, illness, or recovery are reunited with their families once they are stable and able to resume care.
All services are provided free of charge to families in need, if space and resources provide. BBSPS-JT operates entirely through donations, sponsorships, and community support so that financial hardship never becomes the reason an elderly animal loses safety, stability, or love.
