Our Mission
Our mission is to provide a safe, peaceful, enriching environment for the dogs in our care until their adoptive families can be found. Allowing them a place to feel loved and protected for as long as needed.
What's our story?
New Life Asher House is the adoption focused rescue & sanctuary location of the Asher House organization, a sister property located on the western edge of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Situated on 140 acres with fields to run in, a creek to splash in and plenty of friends to play with. It is a true wonderland for dogs!
Founded in November 2023, New Life Asher House is the 2nd Sanctuary location of The Asher House organization, born of the collaboration with Family Dogs New Life Shelter; who’d been an established part of Portland’s rescue community for 20 years before joining The Asher House. We knew that together our two organizations would bring a unique and inspiring approach to animal rescue. Making the decision to join the strengths of both of these organizations felt like the best possible way to have the greatest impact on animal rescue and help as many dogs as possible. FDNLS chose to dissolve as an independent organization and join up with The Asher House to create this wonderful 2nd sanctuary location, focusing on The Asher House adoption program; allowing us to expand our reach and help even more animals in need.
Our mission is to provide a safe, peaceful, enriching environment for the animals in our care until their adoptive families can be found. Allowing them a place to be loved and protected for as long as needed.
Our Adoption Center located in Portland Oregon gives families the opportunity meet our sanctuaries’ adoptable dogs, complete all adoption paperwork and take their new pup home. You can learn more about our adoption appointment procedure HERE
We work hard to provide the best of care for the animals at our rescue & sanctuaries; a large animal care team, 24-hour on-site care givers, an onsite med team and there is no shortage of canine cuddlers.
Our primary mission here at New Life Asher House is to focus on the adoption dogs if the dogs in the care of our sanctuaries but we also provide sanctuary to farmed animals including cows, pigs, goats, and horses of all sizes. If you have fur or hoofs we’ll fall in love.
Thank you for joining along on this beautiful journey, we would not be able to do it without you. Together we can help change the world of rescue, one animal at a time.
