Nicole Beasley is the compassionate founder of Rosie’s Hospice of Compassion, established in 2016. Motivated by her deep empathy for animals, Nicole converted her home into a sanctuary providing end-of-life care for rescued chickens and other vulnerable small animals such as senior dogs, pigeons, and guinea pigs. The hospice was named after Rosie, a beloved hen who left a lasting imprint on Nicole’s heart, and it serves as a safe haven for animals who are elderly, injured, ill, or neglected.
Nicole’s vision for Rosie’s Hospice goes beyond just caring for animals. She created a specialized End of Life Doula Service to support both pets and their human companions during the difficult transition of saying goodbye. Having personally experienced the grief of losing beloved animals, including her dog Comet, who was with her for 23 years, Nicole extends emotional support through in-person and virtual meditation groups for animal carers coping with loss.
While the hospice provides boundless love and care for its residents, it also ensures that animals receive the best veterinary care when needed, working closely with veterinary clinics to facilitate treatment tailored to each animal’s specific needs. Whether through rehabilitation, palliative care, or simply offering a peaceful environment, Nicole ensures that every animal in her care lives out their remaining days with dignity and compassion.
Her work through Rosie’s Hospice of Compassion is a testament to her unwavering commitment to both the animals she rescues and the carers she supports, creating a nurturing community for those at the most vulnerable stages of life.
