Neshama Animal Rescue is an all volunteer independent, 501 (c)(3) animal welfare and education organization. Our mission is to promote the rescue and adoption of companion animals, with a focus on senior and special needs pets. We believe every soul has intrinsic value and we seek to help communities see that value to create a kinder world. Our goals are to rescue animals from shelters, place them in loving foster homes, and adopt them out to forever homes, as well as strengthen our communities’ education, laws and regulations regarding animal overpopulation and care.
“Neshama” means “soul” in Hebrew - our goal is to do soulful work and save as many souls as possible. Neshama Animal Rescue was founded in December 2019.
In the Spring of 2025, Neshama closed to all new intakes. The adoptions wing of our rescue will be winding down as we move to adopt and/or transfer the remaining adoptable animals in our rescue. We will remain open as a sanctuary for the unadoptables (medical/unsocialized) and hospice/senior animals, who will stay in our care until their time is done.
