from the owner:

Lya said: "Working with these animals reminds us on a daily basis that the only moment that counts is the present - that forgiving and letting go is the first step on the way to happiness.

"I see broken souls walk in through our gates on a daily basis, and all it takes to see them mend is a soft touch and a kind word. No humans are capable of such loyalty and such nobleness.

"To gain their love and trust is an honor I get to enjoy day by day.

"To be surrounded by their love for life and their happiness constantly restores my own soul, which, on a daily basis, gets broken by humanity’s cruelty.

"Animals - especially dogs - are amazing healers and masters of forgiveness.

"Being accepted by them is a true gift that not everyone gets a chance to aspire to."
