We rescue and rehabilitate animals that have been abused, abandoned or discarded and provide them with a safe home. Many of the animals have been abandoned on properties or have been in shelters for months. Although we do sometimes foster dogs for other organizations, for the most part, the animals you see at the sanctuary and in my videos and posts have found their permanent home with us. Looking ahead to next year, our vision includes taking in more fosters while they await their forever family. 

We get thousands of emails each month asking to help animals in need. Although we cannot help each one, we do our best to provide resources, or to make connections with other rescues across the country who have been able to assist and find homes. We have impacted many lives through our rescue networks, our national spay and neuter programs, and community involvement via library partnerships, school assemblies, and homeless outreach.

Of course we give each member of our animal family a safe haven and lots of love. But we also provide them with a healthy dose of adventure. Dogs need enrichment and activity in order to thrive, and it is so much fun for Lee to take them along for the ride. When our dogs are happy, we are happy.

We are currently at capacity until we complete the expansion to our larger property. But the following website is a wonderful resource to find a rescue 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, we recommend the "home to home" option where you accept applications 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.

Occasionally, Lee will foster dogs for other rescues and shelters, and we will sometimes adopt out a dog that we know will do better as the only pet in the home, or with a smaller pack. But we currently don't have dogs available for adoption. The Asher House functions as a sanctuary where animals can live out their lives with lots of love and adventure. Looking ahead into 2023, our intention is to do more fostering for other rescues and shelters. 

The following websites are great resources to help with your search for the perfect pet:

Since Lee resides on the property, we currently do not allow visitors or volunteers. But we are in the process of expanding to our larger property to be able to rescue more animals. Once we are settled and that is up and running, our vision is to have monthly tours for visitors, and we hope to offer volunteer opportunities.  We don’t have an exact timeline for this, but Lee will be sharing more as this project develops.

Lee does have a few videos on Facebook that illustrate the history of The Asher House. He categorizes the videos together, and one is called "I want your life:" https://fb.watch/83AXD7e9px/, and another is called “How we started the Sanctuary:" https://www.facebook.com/TheAsherHouse/videos/3289423571293100 Basically, after traveling the country to promote dog adoption and meeting with various shelters and rescues, Lee applied for his 501c3 nonprofit, which was approved in late 2020. Because of his large social media platform, the nonprofit received a lot of exposure, and for this Lee is very grateful. After his pit bull Stella passed away, he needed a break from being on the road and wanted to fulfill his lifelong dream of planting roots and founding a sanctuary. He was able to find a large parcel of property in Oregon and it was a perfect place to make his vision a reality. 

Once in Oregon, Lee continued to focus on saving animals and partnering with other shelters and rescues. We have now expanded to other animals like llamas, horses, pigs, goats, alpacas and even cows. He works really hard to physically care for the animals and to manage the non-profit, he but does have a small team to assist.  I know you didn’t ask, but people often wonder how he sustains himself financially, and it is primarily through paid sponsorships and his CBD oil. Here is a video that explains that in a little more depth: https://youtu.be/F_a-TsLabbA

Best Friends Animal Society has a wonderful article that we have shared with many people: https://resources.bestfriends.org/article/how-start-animal-sanctuary  Pet Finder also has some great resources on how to start a rescue, shelter or other similar nonprofit: https://www.petfinder.com/animal-shelters-and-rescues/starting-a-pet-adoption-organization/  And if you can, we suggest that you contact a sanctuary or rescue organization near your home and ask if you can volunteer.  This will give you a behind the scenes look at what happens daily, the costs involved, the workforce you may need, how fostering works, and much more. 

We are always working on new and fun items to add to our shop. Lee will post on his social media once we have new items to launch.
