As a sponsor for one of the HFL animals I can think of no better organization for my charitable contributions to go. HFL is truly a place for animals who have no voice. I'm glad that Lisa responded to indicate that no tax dollars or government grants are received for funding since this is misunderstood by some viewers. The world is in great need of more organizations like HFL.

I would like to thank WEAU for doing this heart-warming story. I had no idea that this facility existed and will add it to my list of charities so Lisa can continue to provide for these helpless creatures.

I work for a very large corporation, and advocates that it is our corporate social responsibility to care for anything in society that benefits that society. Whether some like it or not, animals, including abandoned and tortured pets, are included in our society. Bravo to Home for Life for creating a cutting-edge sanctuary.

This is where our tax dollars are going??? There are local people have no food, shelter, or health care but Free money from government grants can feed and house animals that live better than most of the elderly in this country does. I say great save all these animals, but do it on YOUR own dime, not on mine. My suggestion if you have extra money to donate, is to donate it to food pantries, shelters, pregnancy center, or even after school kids programs.

After about 8 years of supporting some of the 'residents' of HFL, my wife and I can't imagine a better way of life for animals that had no other option. Lisa and her dedicated staff do a fabulous job of making HFL truly a warm, happy home for these very needy creatures. We urge others to contact HFL and consider making a small donation to support their efforts.
