Because we will be having a very busy summer, with the construction of the new building, starting with the installation of the septic systems, we will again be limiting tours to our existing supporters, with priority given to our sponsors.
"Spring" Photos by Mark Luinenburg
Photographer Mark Luinenburg was out for a "spring" visit at Home For Life® Animal Sanctuary. We had wanted to wait until the weather was "warmer" to invite him out. Well ... Spring was in the air even if there was some snow still on the ground.
Groundbreaking News! Update May 2023.
Home for Life® has broken ground on the long-planned and hoped-for building to complete our sanctuary prototype. This is the facility we have used the working title of the Dog Training and Exercise building and will serve many purposes ...

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.

Introducing Jimmy and JohnJohn, two German Shepherd pups, about 6 months old, small for their age, recently arrived at Home for Life. They were surrendered with their littermates to a local shelter but were very thin and unsocialized. The shelter placed them in foster homes and supported the fosters with many resources including training and behavioral coaching.
