Meet our charity.
Tender Heart Animal Retreat & Refuge, Inc., was founded in July of 2023.
Our focus is rescuing animals who have been abandoned, are strays, and providing them with safe refuge, medical care, professional training, proper nutrition, being loved, and dedicate the time to them to teach
them to trust people again.
We also take in dogs that are not able to be adopted directly from municipal shelters, who are facing euthanasia, and work with whatever their needs are to help them become adoptable and get them into permanent homes. On some occasions, there are dogs that, in their best interest, stay with us at the refuge for the remainder of their lives.
Creating artwork from the every day…
What would stop you in your tracks?
A handcrafted portrait of your pet,
designed with intention and displayed as art.
Something that lives on your walls,
long after the muddy paws and gray whiskers appear.
A reminder of a love that never fades.
What value does that hold for you?
