Home for Life receives a new look!

In this digital age, a website is truly a charity's public face in the world, the best opportunity to create a great first impression. Home for Life's website has served us well since 2004, but had begun to look dated and was in need of a facelift. We wanted to emphasize the great photos of our animals, their stories and allow easier navigation of the site. But with the challenging economy and the many demands on our resources to provide the best care for our animals, a new website always seemed out of reach.

Famed Photograher Hannah Stonehouse Hudson Vists Home for Life Animal Sanctuary and The Story of Simon

The Native American Spiritual Adviser told her that she would know when her husband Jim was close because she would see eagles near. Eagles were Jim's symbol. So we knew it would be a special day when Hannah said the eagles seemed to be accompanying her on her drive to Home for Life, especially as she approached the sanctuary, circling above as she drove up our driveway, as if to herald her arrival. Eagles have special meaning for her, and it almost seemed as if the eagles had led her to Home for Life that chilly but sunny and clear day this mid November.

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words: The Photos of Seen But Not Heard Photography

Photographer Chris Forslin of the Twin Cities, Minnesota first encountered Home for Life at the Mall of America during the years we had our Holiday events. As a lifelong animal lover and gifted photographer, she was eager to help Home for Life, and our sponsorship program seemed like the perfect opportunity for her to get involved. We were eager to have her out to Home for Life after seeing the incredible photos she did of the animals at the Minnesota Zoo.
