Water Therapy

Keep cool this month with swimming photos from Home For Life® Animal Sanctuary by photographer Mark Luinenburg.
Home for Life® uses swimming at the Apple River, which runs along the west border of our 4o acres, as a fun way to cool off while also providing water therapy to our many older dogs with arthritis as well as our dogs who are paraplegic — land can be tough for them to move comfortably.

Sponsor Happiness

As a sponsor, your monthly or annual donation will help us to continue providing a secure, healthy environment where animals who were formerly abused, neglected, and rejected can thrive and begin again to participate in the joy of being that is the right of all living things.

Winter Blues? Cheer up with this video of Una & his Friends— "I've got my love to keep me warm!"

Body

Some have been asking for an update on Una, our puppy who survived being shot in the face. With more bitter cold upon us, here's a video to warm your heart: Una and his friends enjoying a snow day earlier this week.

More about Una including photos of him in his home country: https://imgur.com/gallery/7sZZ9OI...

Also in this video are Una's international group of friends!

  • paraplegic Gus from Mexico
     
  • the black speed demon on wheels, Snoop from Tunis, who used to walk on his front legs only as he had such horrible pressure wounds on his heels after being injured,
     
  • 2-legged sheltie Poppy,
     
  • paraplegic sheltie Mick from Saudi Arabia and Una's best friend (he ditches his wheels early in the video!),
     
  • and, sweet shy Lollipop from Iran who suffered a devastating injury before coming to us and now walks with peg legs.
