We have had a peaceful, yet fun summer at the sanctuary, and with the abundant rain, everything has been green and beautiful.
Photographer Mark Luinenburg has made it out twice to Home for Life®, and captured the beauty of the season and enjoyment the animals have in being outside this time of year.
See the albums of his photos from his summer visits here and here and the albums of our favorites here: (20+) Summer photos from Mark... - Home For Life Animal Sanctuary | Facebook and here: (20+) The late summer photos of August... - Home For Life Animal Sanctuary | Facebook with swimming photos below.
