Snow Days
Kirsten Eitrem of KME Photography spends a snowy afternoon at Home for Life for our sponsor program
Kirsten Eitrem is a photographer whose work we have followed and admired for a long time; she not only takes such beautiful photos which convey the uniqueness and special spirit of each subject, but also has a heart to give back, supporting many of the Twin Cities animal rescues. As she says, "I like to help out all the amazing animal rescues in the area and offer photography services to foster pups looking for their forever home.A good picture can help a dog get adopted!"

Everybody wants to be active in their golden years and Eis is no exception - even though he's a German Shepherd. Retired from the Hastings, MN Police Department's K9 unit, Eis (pronounced "ice") is the newest member of Home For Life Animal Sanctuary. Too old to chase robbers and sniff out drugs, Eis at 14 is still active, healthy and has always loved people.
Dagney
Dagney is a Scandinavian girl's name meaning " dawn of a new day" and it's pronounced "Dog- nee" - perfect for this big girl who found herself without a home at the age of 2 years.

YOU can Help the Dogs and Cats of Home for Life! Contributions needed for our new Cold Laser!
Home for Life had the opportunity to purchase a cold laser, used as a demonstration model by the manufacturer, thus reducing the purchase price by several thousand dollars. Cold laser is a type of non-invasive therapy that has many benefits - helping bring relief to arthritic joints, helping wounds heal more quickly (the laser promotes blood flow and cell turnover for faster healing!) and bringing healing and pain relief to areas of an animal's body traumatized by accidents such as surviving being hit by a car and surgery.
