"A dog is the only thing on earth that will love you more than you love yourself." ~ Josh Billings
"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." ~ Anatole France
"Many shelters, however, have determined that these dogs are not worthy of their help. They have determined that Pit Bulls do not deserve to live.
The more circumspect among them might not say so publicly. They may couch it in more benign terms, shifting the blame to others, claiming that no one will adopt them, convincing themselves that only a ban and death will keep them out of harm's way, but the end result is exactly the same.
By their actions, words, policies, and failure to speak positively on behalf of pit bulls, they stoke the fire that has at its core only one end: their mass killing. To a breed abused for fighting, victimized by an undeserved reputation, relegated to certain death in shelters, add one more torment: those who should be their most ardent protectors have instead turned against them.
The humane movement has joined the witch hunt. The very agencies whose officers seek out dog fighters and abusers in order to "save" Pit Bulls often relegate the dogs to locked and barren corridors away from public view with no hope of adoption, regardless of their temperament. Ultimately, all of them -- the healthy and friendly ones, side-by-side with the hopelessly sick or vicious -- are put to death."- Nathan Winograd
Life House Animal Refuge and Rehabilitation has been rescuing animals for 12 years this year. We have a core group of dedicated animal lovers, advocates, foster families, volunteers, trainers, and a phenominal vet who share a common ambition...to help animals in need. We hope to someday make a dent in the ever growing plight of these animals. Lifehouse is currently in the procces of trying to find a piece of property suitable for an animal rescue facility so that our rescued friends have a warm and loving safe haven to reside in while awaiting their forever homes. We are a licensed 510c3 non profit organization. All donations are greatly appreciated and tax deductible.
Lifehouse is a small organization that works very hard on rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming abandoned, abused, neglected, injured, and stray animals. We focus mainly on dogs but will occasioanlly accept a cat or kitten. We are not a shelter with kennels, we rely soley on our foster home network to take in these animals until we find a suitable forever home. All of our animals are completely vetted prior to adoption. We have them spayed or neutered, dewormed, heartworm tested, vaccinated, and groomed if need be. We are strictly no kill unless an animal is beyond treatment, at that point we use humane euthanasia to end any suffering. We will not take in aggressive dogs no ifs, ands, or buts! We temperment test every animal before accepting it into our program. The majority of money used to care for all of our animals comes strictly out of our own pockets, so if you would like to donate old blakets, towels, dog beds, toys, food, cat litter, or make a monetary donation to us or to our account , please click the donate link above .We would greatly appreciate it more than words can express.
