Tour the Facility
In early 1999, Home for Life® relocated to over 40 picturesque acres on the Apple River near Star Prairie, Wisconsin. The sanctuary is a permanent home to about 95 dogs and 125 cats, 25 of whom have feline leukemia. The sanctuary is also home to one 20 year old pony, one sulcata tortoise, about 10 rabbits, and 10 parrots.

All sanctuary residents, because of age, disability, illness or temperament issues, have not had a chance to be adopted through a conventional shelter or rescue organization. At Home For Life®, these animals enjoy loving care for as long as they may live. Our goal is that this facility will become the prototype for a network of Home For Life® sanctuaries across the country.
The panoramic prairie setting in Star Prairie provides commodious accommodations, featuring indoor/outdoor enclosures for both dogs and cats. This state-of-the-art facility includes:
- A grooming salon
- A kitchen for food preparation, equipped with a sanitary sterilizing unit for washing the animals' dishes
- A laundry room with a commercial washer and dryer
- Plenty of storage for animal food and supplies.
It is hard to believe that since 1999 these undeveloped acres of farmland have been transformed into Home For Life® Animal Sanctuary. Everything—from a well to a road to electricity—had to be brought in or constructed!
