About Us

Bell’Anima (Italian for “Beautiful Soul”) is a non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing and placing abandoned dogs and cats.

We are a foster based rescue with very big ideas. Our dream is to one day build a shelter for all of the abandoned animals that find their way to our rescue. In the meantime, we work with committed foster homes for an indefinite amount of time. These fosters work tirelessly in giving the Bell’Anima exercise, discipline, affection and socialization skills required to create a well balanced companion. This allows the animal to have their true character shine through rehabilitation, patience and love.

We also work closely with our veterinarians in order to provide all of our Bell’Animas a healthy future. We provide them with a full veterinary check, protect them from illness with basic vaccines, and most importantly all of our animals are spayed or neutered or will be if not yet of age.

Our team consists of dedicated volunteers and foster families, all of whom are an important and crucial part in making Bell’Anima successful.
