Welcome to Angel's Gate, a residential, non-profit, 501 (C) 3 home,
our home, for special needs animals. Here, animals many of whom are
terminally and / or critically ill or physically
challenged, come to live out their days in peace, dignity and love. Our
focus is on wellness and quality of life. We provide for the physical,
emotional and spiritual needs of each animal. We take a holistic
approach in animal care, giving all needed supportive services
including hospice care.
If you come to visit our home you're likely to be impressed
with the vitality of our family members even though they are "special needs"
animals. Many require physical therapy, medical attention and nursing care.
They may have cancer, liver or kidney disease, paralyses, blindness,
deafness, diabetes, neurological or seizure disorders, orthopedic or
geriatric problems. Still the overall impression is one of vibrant life and
peaceful living. Most dogs and cats are active and relate in socially
positive ways.
Currently, at our home we care for some 200 individuals of many species. These include
dogs, cats, parrots, ponies, ducks, swan, pigeons, geese, chickens and
rabbits. Dogs and cats receive a raw food natural diet (B.A.R.F. diet)
specially prepared by a local butcher.
Our animals are a part of the Angel's
Gate household. Most are free to roam their home and/or the
spacious back yard. Dogs and cats are not crated. Only the parrots are
caged. The water fowl, chickens and pigeons are penned at night for
their protection.
There is never a fee when we adopt an animal with special needs. We depend solely on supporter
contributions which come to us from all over the United States. We
even have supporters from as far away as Canada, France, Germany ,The
Netherlands, Africa and many from Japan.
Angel's Gate is located on the beautiful North Shore of Long
Island, in the township of Smithtown, in Western Suffolk County.
