Behind every data point, every number -- is an individual cat or dog, with a story and the need for someone to recognize all that makes them distinctive.

Home for Life's® latest video spotlights our "Peace Creatures®" and community outreach programs

Home For Life Animal Sanctuary is with Woodbury Senior Living

You would have to be made of stone not to be moved by Home for Life's® new video produced by Hold Tight Video Productions. 

The video begins with spectacular drone footage of the Home for Life's® 40-acre sanctuary facility on the Apple River in Star Prairie, WI and glimpses of the daily life of our precious cats and dogs. From the sanctuary, you will journey with Home for Life® staff and our "Peace Creatures®"— some of our therapy animals who participate in our Peace Creatures® community outreach programs — to  Woodbury Senior Living, Woodbury, MN — one of our regular outreach sites and community partners. Home for Life's  Peace Creatures® programs  provide solace and joy to over 7000 at risk kids and adults each year through the healing pet therapy.  Our animals, who have survived and overcome so much themselves, can reach vulnerable children and adults in a special way,  as you will see in this beautiful short film.
