Summer has a way of softening us. The long golden hours, the scent of warm earth, the quiet invitation to slow down—it all opens something in us. At Dog Heaven, we see this every year, not just in ourselves, but in our dogs.
When the sun stretches into evening, the sanctuary changes. The dogs bask in the heat, roll in the grass, and find their favorite shady spots. You can feel their bodies relax. You can feel the healing take root.
Because Dog Heaven isn't just about rescue—it's about rhythm.
We live by nature's pace here. The same way the seasons shift, so do our dogs. Many come to us after a lifetime of stress, uncertainty, or neglect. But with time, warmth, and safety, they begin to transform. Summer helps. It always does.
This July, we experienced a bit of that magic ourselves.
✮ Full Moon Hike & Howl
We connected with the pack under the light of the full moon. We allowed the quiet howl of nature echo through us.
✮ Summer Meditation Hike with Nita & Tanisha (7 Star Phoenix)
We were guided in a soul-nourishing experience where we walked, breathed, and connected —with ourselves and the sanctuary around us.
At Dog Heaven, every season brings its own kind of healing. But in summer, we feel it. Not in a rush. Not in a role. Just as we are.
We can't wait to welcome you here!
