Reporter Robin Raven said it better than we ever could. In her recent article on Yahoo News! about Home for Life®, Robin not only writes about Home for Life's® international impact but also the core values that are the foundation of our mission, directing our programs and work on behalf of the animals.  

The Home for Life® tour season 2026 officially opens the first weekend after Memorial Day. Our tours are by appointment only and are escorted. We prioritize scheduling tours for our donors and sponsors. Please email Home for Life® at info@homeforlife.org or call us at 1-800-252-5918 to schedule a time to visit the sanctuary.

We had a chilly spring day Wednesday this week for the first round of spring pictures with photographer Mark Luinenburg, a longtime friend and supporter of Home For Life Animal Sanctuary. The grass was green and the sky colors muted for a beautiful backdrop for Mark's first photos of 2026.

One of our favorites (above), our 3 legged and blind Saint Bernard Grace.  Here's a link to his album with all his photos from his visit to sanctuary this early spring:

 Our animals each have such unique personalities; we're always dreaming up new ways to share all that makes them special so supporters can get to know them better. Of course, sponsoring a cat or dog at Home For Life® Animal Sanctuary is a great way to help all the animals at the sanctuary while following the progress of a particular one who touches your heart.

For over 20 years, photographer Mark Luinenburg has been a friend to Home For Life Animal Sanctuary and an important part of documenting our evolution and preserving memories through his beautiful photos of the dogs and cats We like to look back on each year, and its highlights as seen through Mark's photos of our beloved animals. In this video, the highlights of 2025....thank you Mark!

One way we mark the seasons at the sanctuary is through the photos of longtime friend and supporter of Home for Life®, Mark Luinenburg. He was out on Halloween, and the focus was on our animals, adorned in their autumn hues, as well as our new kittens, part of our collaboration with Snaptcats.org.
