Who stands behind Heaven's Gate

Brigitte & Al are both animal lovers from the bottom of their heart. On Heaven's Gate my mom and stepfather Al are taking care of the animals with all of  their heart and soul.If Heaven's Gate would be an ordinary company Al would be the technical manager. He looks after the construction and maintenance of the ranch and this is a very big challenge in the wilderness of Canada.

Building materials and replacement parts are very difficult to get. Therefore he has a large storage of sort out materials, which always can be converted and be used again. Like an old speaker gets turned into a holder for a pot at the campfire.Brigitte is the good soul of the farm. She trains the horses and recovers all of her sick animals with lots of love and affection. In addition she looks after the sourcing and supervision of the Volunteers (helpers on the farm)

 

If there is any trouble she will always  be there to help wherever she can. Together they are an unbeatable team and created Heaven's Gate to what it is now. A place where human being and animal can feel very happy.

1994 to 2008 - A dream came true

We began by adopting dogs, to save them from being euthanized. Later on we crossed paths with our first raccoon at a families house near ours. Over time I found more and more people who had the same out look on this as we did, this brought many more contacts. Now when babies are found, they are brought straight to us while we are working with the ones we already took in.

2009 to 2012

For two years now we are working hard and I thank God for all his blessings. Sometimes it was very difficult to start from zero but everyday we can get closer to achieving our dream.

2012 to 2013

In summer 2012 we had our first public showing. We invited numerous neighbors and friends to show them our work with the animals. Not many people followed our invitation – they might have feared we would only ask for a donation. We had great success nevertheless. Many people were able to see that our work with the rescued horses had done so much. In 2012 we were able to give 6 well trained rescue-horses up for adoption. Each of them is now happily living in a loving family.
