Bonaparte's Retreat Dog Rescue

Founded in 2004 by Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and lifelong animal rights advocate, Emmylou Harris, Bonaparte's Retreat is a 501(c)3 foster-based nonprofit dog rescue organization. Bonaparte's Retreat is dedicated to providing nurturing care for adoptable dogs when their allotted time at a shelter has elapsed. Our mission is to prevent these wonderful animals from being euthanized and to adopt them into permanent, loving homes.
