The Asher House is a registered nonprofit sanctuary that advocates for the welfare, protection, and dignity of all animals. Our organization provides rescue, rehabilitation, rehoming and a lifelong sanctuary for animals in need, with a commitment to end animal suffering and promote humane treatment. Through community education, advocacy, and hands-on care, we work toward a more compassionate world for animals.
For over two years, our Founder, Lee Asher, traveled across 49 states to promote dog adoption and spotlight various shelters and rescues. We have grown so much in the last few years. Click above to get the full story!
Lillie's Lighthouse Phase 2
Lillie's Lighthouse accommodates our newest dogs upon arrival at the sanctuary. During this vital 2-week transition of quarantine and decompression, our dogs are also medically and behaviorally assessed.
Phase 2 of this project will include plexiglass "doggy suites" which have an exterior door to allow the dogs to roam freely from the inside to the outside, while remaining safe and comfortable. This second phase includes building out these new suites to accommodate up to 28 dogs, in addition to pouring the concrete for the exterior, and installing outdoor awnings to protect our pups from the elements when they choose to be outside. We are also adding an industrial strength washer/dryer system, and enhanced drainage for easy sanitation and cleanup.
The exterior of Lillie’s Lighthouse will include a play area that is fully fenced-in so that the newest intakes can still enjoy playtime and freedom outdoors, while they await full integration with the rest of the pack.
To donate toward Lillie’s Lighthouse Phase 2, please click the link below. Every dollar gets us closer to our goal, and we are so excited to share our progress as this project develops.

We take in dogs based upon our capacity at any given time, and whether the dog would do well in a free-roaming environment. The following website is a wonderful resource to find other organizations that may be able to help:
https://www.petfinder.com/animal-shelters-and-rescues/search/
This listing is rather comprehensive, and includes great foster-based rescue organizations, many of which offer transportation to pick up your pet if they are not in your immediate area.
As an alternative to surrendering to a rescue, one can use the "home to home" option where you accept applications directly from that site. If you do this, then you are the one screening applicants to find the perfect home. This is safer than FB and Craigslist, where this is a risk of dog fighting rings.

For volunteer requests:
We currently do not have a volunteer program. But we are actively working on expanding parts of the property, and looking at ways for the public to assist us with our mission at some point in the future.
For visit requests:
We are not currently open to the public for the privacy and protection of our animals and staff. But we are looking at possible ways to include our community in the future.
We plan to share updates on visits and volunteer opportunities in our monthly newsletter, so if you aren't already signed up, simply follow this link: https://www.theasherhouse.com/pages/newsletter.

Animal rescue groups or organizations are dedicated to pet adoptions. These groups take abandoned, abused, or stray animals and attempt to find suitable homes for them.
Animal sanctuaries provide a permanent home for animals, allowing them to live out their lives in a safe and peaceful environment.
The Asher House incorporates both of these business models into our mission. We rescue and rehabilitate animals that have been abused or discarded, and provide them with a safe place to live. We do keep some of the animals on the property to live out their lives, but we adopt out as many as we can that would do great in a loving home.
