Summer is going swimmingly at Home for Life!

With these recent steamy summer days of over 90 degrees, we thought everyone would enjoy seeing how Home for Life's staff and dogs keep it cool at the sanctuary- swimming in the Apple River! Home for Life is located on 40 acres with a mile of Apple River frontage on our property. The river is more accessible at different points so we went to a very picturesque spot for photos, not far from the sanctuary. Longtime friend to Home for Life Photographer Mark Luinenburg visited the sanctuary recently and captured some great summer photos of fun in the sun at Home for Life.
The Dodo Impact -- Featuring Home for Life
The Dodo is a halo brand for everyone who loves animals from people who are obsessed with their pets all the way to committed animal advocates. We want our audience to connect with animals through our stories, and feel empowered to help where help is needed ... The Dodo was founded on the observations that animal content is among the most widely shared on social media and that people care about the welfare of animals more than ever before.
Fields of Gold: Mark Luinenburg photographs Spring at Home for Life

Longtime volunteer and friend to Home for Life, photographer Mark Luinenburg was at the sanctuary the second week in May, and it turned out to be perfect timing. There are a few weeks each spring at Home for Life where the entire property seems blanketed in gold, dappled in sunshine: an abundance of dandelions cover all the meadows and fenced exercise areas. The " fields of gold" proved to be a perfect backdrop for the happiness of our animals after a long winter. Inside the catteries, the beautiful cats generated their own rays of sunshine to shine in the photos. Below some of our favorites of Mark's spring shoot.
