Spring's arrival has been sweeter this year with the support given to Home for Life® from the community. Polaris rounded up several volunteers who spent a sunny day at the sanctuary helping us prepare our gardens for spring.

In this album are some of our favorites from Photographer Mark Luinenburg's visit to Home for Life® at the end of May when the dandelions were in full bloom; his photos at the sanctuary during dandelion season have become an annual tradition. With so much that doesn't make sense and the world so turbulent, it's reassuring to know that every year, there will be spring sunshine, cheery yellow flowers, and happy animals at Home for Life®.

Raha, the most recognized animal at Home for Life®, passed away at the sanctuary about 10 days ago. Raha was estimated to be 13 or 14 years old. Includes post from Vafa Animal Shelter including video and photos of his rescue in Iran.
