SAVE THE DATES!

With the warmer temperatures and spring  here at last, it's time to think about getting out of the house again! As you plan  your social schedule for 2015 don't forget about your four legged friends at Home for LIfe; we have a couple of great events coming up this year that you won't want to miss.

 SATURDAY JULY 18, 2015: GATES OPEN AT NOON: HOME FOR LIFE'S ANNUAL OPEN HOUSE, MEMORIAL GARDEN CEREMONY AND RIDE FOR THEIR LIVES

                                 

Dog abandoned in sub-zero temperatures gives birth to 10 puppies !

On the morning of November 30, on a cold and blustery winter morning (air temperature -3, windchill  - 25!) one of our staff members received an unexpected call at the gate. Home for Life's front gate has a callbox so people can contact us up at the facility. A man's voice came over the intercom and said "Hey! did you  know there was a dog tied to your gate?!" He then hung up.

Picture This: The Elegant Photography of Karin Newstrom

We have long admired the photography of Karin Newstrom of the Twin Cities. You may recognize her work from the photos she has taken on behalf of  dogs and cats  from two Minneapolis  rescues who focus on adoption;  Second Hand Hounds and  Ruff Start Rescue.  She has a fun, yet sophisticated approach to capturing the heart and soul of each animal she photographs. She and her wonderful husband, Jeff, spent a sunny, winter day with us at Home for Life last month, March, photographing our animals for our sponsor program.
