Fetch is more fun in the snow! Barley the corgi is our champion shortstop!

Photographer Mark Luinenburg's first visit of 2024 in photos: temperatures in the 30s and still snow on the ground: just about perfection! You can see our photos with stories of the animals here in the Facebook album:

The song "Blue Christmas" conveys the bittersweet feelings often associated with the holiday season, evoking a sense of longing, heartache, and melancholy in contrast to the usual festive spirit of Christmas and the song resonates with those who  find themselves feeling lonely or experiencing lost love during this time of year.

The first snowfall of the season is always a reason to rejoice at Home for Life®!  With the clean, crisp air the snowfall brings, and the soft cushion on the meadows, the dogs have a renewed sense of energy, playing outside. Every season is beautiful at Home for Life®, and the first snowfall heralds the holidays and a whole different experience of good, clean fun in the refreshing weather! In this video: Axel, Mahtab, Pickles, Shoja, Henry, Georgia, wheel dogs Poppy, Gus, Mick & everyone's favorite: Una!  

It's here! Home for Life's® EmBARK at the Park video (see below)!

Home For Life® Animal Sanctuary's first annual dog walk, EmBARK at the Park, was barely 2 weeks ago, Saturday, October 21, 2023, and gave our supporters the opportunity to enjoy the fall colors of the St. Croix Valley and beautiful vistas from the Stillwater Lift Bridge and St. Croix Crossing Bridge.

We are ambivalent about Give to the Max Day, which is this Thursday, November 16 for many reasons. On the one hand, we can't ignore it because we can't shun any opportunity to try to raise desperately needed dollars to help the animals of Home for Life®.

We are thrilled to announce Home for Life's® Spring Gala is back in 2024, and even more excited to share that our special guest for the event will be Isabella Rossellini (pictured above)!  We will be back at International Market Square in Minneapolis, on Saturday, April 27th for this incredible evening!  Isabella Rossellini is an acclaimed model with 29 international Vogue covers to her credit, including her most recent, the cover of Italian Vogue in September 2023, and a spokesmodel for the Lancome cosmetic line.

Thank you so much to Spikes & Houles for their amazing support and sponsorship of Home for Life's® EmBARK at the Park, coming at you THIS Saturday (October 21)!
