Second Chances in the Desert: The Kaleidoscope Sanctuary Story
This week on A Dog’s Devotion, we explore The Kaleidoscope Desert, a sanctuary just outside Joshua Tree that brings together rescued animals and artistic expression in the most extraordinary way. Here, every creature — from dogs to zebras — is free to roam and be seen, and every visitor leaves transformed. It’s a place of color, creativity, and connection — where art heals, animals thrive, and hearts open wide. The desert is a magical place, and when you add art, and animals to the mix, amazing transformations happen. Join Carla Bosacki as she speaks to owner of how she came to own 5 acres and live out her life passion of saving animals. For people who are suffering from dog loss and the grief that follows, this is a very special place that helps heal the soul.
