Home for Life's founder and director of operations was recently reviewed by the Huffington Post. The interview offers a look into Home for Life's mission, including the staff members who work behind the scenes and the animals who make a difference every day.
In collaboration with Twin Cities Public Television and Emergence Productions, Home for Life has produced a feature about our community outreach programs. Home for Life believes our at risk animals can help at risk people of all ages and this program brings to life how the animals of our sanctuary give back and pay it forward to the community that supports them.
Home for Life recently had their annual Fall Fancy Feast fundraising event! The event was a sold out success, and we thank everyone who attended or contributed to the event!
The event included music from the Kenwood Symphony, a silent auction, a beautiful brunch buffet, complimentary champagne, a Bloody Mary Bar courtesy of the 45th Parallel Distillery and even an ice cream sundae bar from Grande Ole Creamery. Guests of the event were also able to meet some of Home for Life's animals during the event's world famous Dog Parade!
Ashley, a long-time resident of Home for Life, has earned some international publicity thanks to her perserverence in overcoming outstanding circumstances. From her near death experience and paralysis at the hands of a violent man, she has gone on to grow and flourish as an adult.
A recent post on Reddit, an interactive social media site, was quickly picked up and rehashed on Carbonated TV. Carbonated TV is a media site that highlights trending content gathered from all over the world.
Thanks to Mark Luinenburg's fantastic photos of our amazing animals, Home for Life gained some recognition on Reddit over the weekend. With their unstoppable optimism and determination, they won the attention of a writer at Buzzfeed. And we can't thank them enough!

DID YOU KNOW? At Home for Life Sanctuary, we care for animals from all over the United States and also many foreign countries.
Currently, about 10 % of our animals come from other countries, and we care for dogs and cats who have come to us from Thailand, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Mexico, Canada, Saudi Arabia and Iran.
Some ask why we would help animals from other countries, and wonder how these animals find their way to Home for Life from thousands of miles away.
