Dogs Like Una

At Home for Life®, we have witnessed that transformation firsthand in animals like Una. His story shows how compassion and creativity can turn cruelty into renewal.  Una was born a street dog. At just six months old, he was shot in the face in his home country - veterinarians tried to repair his wound but his injuries just became worse.  After reaching Home For Life, Una received care and has become a thriving part of our community. Una’s story proves that compassion and creativity break the cycle of cruelty and indifference to restore a shattered life. Each act of care sets in motion a future that would never otherwise exist. We have seen dogs and cats, once so frightened that they flinch from a touch, learn to trust again; and animals once disfigured by violence discover a new life filled with peace and joy.
