Stephanie and Rod Oman from The Imagery, a celebrated portrait studio based in Burnsville,Minnestoa were out to Home for Life in late November, and spent the afternoon with us, one of the last nice days of Fall, taking photos of our animals for Home for Life's sponsor program. We cannot thank them enough for their help- our sponsor program is the foundation of support for the care we provide the animals, enabling us to provide steady, dependable care for all the cats and dogs at Home for Life, whether sponsored or not.

Home for Life had the opportunity to purchase a cold laser, used as a demonstration model by the manufacturer, thus reducing the purchase price by several thousand dollars. Cold laser is a type of non-invasive therapy that has many benefits - helping bring relief to arthritic joints, helping wounds heal more quickly (the laser promotes blood flow and cell turnover for faster healing!) and bringing healing and pain relief to areas of an animal's body traumatized by accidents such as surviving being hit by a car and surgery.

What has been the phoDOGgraphy sensation of 2016? It's undoubtedly been Susie Kixmoeller and her rescued Chocolate Lab mix Tula of Canine Happy Hour fame! This late summer we were honored to have Susie, a senior at the Blake School in Minneapolis, out to Home for Life for the day to capture our latest round of photos for our sponsorship programs.
