Harmony Retreat and Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit cultivating a nurturing home for animals while enriching people's lives through meaningful connection with animals, nature, and one another. Helping one life at a time, be it person or animal.
We exist where animal welfare and human wellbeing meet. Because we have more energy, and are more caring, when we share our lives with animals and nature.
We provide adoption and foster placement, hands-on care, and consulting for cats, kittens, rabbits, and small animals in need — keeping them safe, healthy, and loved until they find their forever home.
Our retreat vision pairs people with animals and nature in an educational, restorative setting — a place to reflect, reconnect, and revitalize, because wellbeing grows through the bonds we share.
Every life is important and deserves to be respected.
A person's wellbeing is elevated by meaningful connections with nature, animals, and each other.
Education is vital to improving the wellbeing of, and the relationship between, animals, people, and nature.
Each one is fully cared for and living in love with a foster family while they wait. Here are a few of the friends currently in our care.
Completely vetted and bursting with affection. Roachy is living in love and care with his foster family while he waits for a home of his own.
Two gentle tabbies who do everything together. This bonded pair is hoping to find one loving home where they can stay side by side.
From tuxedos to torties, sweet kittens come through our doors year-round — potty trained, well-adjusted, and ready to love.
"People and animals need one another."
Harmony was founded by Judy Dyke as a dual-purpose nonprofit — recognizing that we have more energy, and are more caring, when we interact with animals. From that idea grew an organization devoted to both rescuing animals and restoring people.
Today we provide adoption and foster placement, animal-care consulting, fundraising, and volunteer programs. Next, we're opening an adoption center for small animals, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs — with space to gather, learn, and connect.

"When Bitty, our 6-week-old kitten, came into our lives, he was fully potty trained, very well adjusted, and loving."
