Over the years Brandon and his partner have rescued 75+ dogs, 50+ cats, reptiles, birds and farm animals.

We also want to shout out to one of Love Life’s residents Pumba!!! We rescued him as a piglet and he needed hernia surgery. After that Love Life graciously took him in and now he is a now rescue ambassador!
