Dogs Running in the water

Even though I’m head over heels for our new 240-acre property—our expanded The Asher House sanctuary—it’s still vital to step away now and then. For me, that means packing up the pack and heading straight for the ocean.

Finding Your Happy Place

There’s nothing more calming than watching the dogs splash in the surf, paws buried in sand, salt breeze ruffling their fur. Whether you’re running barefoot through the waves or simply breathing in the sea air, this is freedom at its purest—exactly the kind of mental recharge that fuels our mission.

Why Breaks Matter for Pet Rescuers & Pet Parents

Rescuing animals at The Asher House is deeply rewarding, but it comes with heartache and nonstop hustle. Those moments of overwhelm—when you’re tending to medical emergencies, coordinating transports, or grieving a loss—are exactly when you need to pause and refill your own cup.

• For your team: Schedule a “wellness walk” with the dogs on the beach.

• For your mind & body: Try our CBD or a serving of Daily Vitality Probiotics from Asher House Wellness to support relaxation and recovery.

• For your spirit: Journal your thoughts—free write about gratitude, jot down your “future facts,” or simply note the joy you see in every wagging tail.

  
  

Serving with Joy & Balance

Animal rescue—and running a pet-focused e-commerce brand—can feel all-consuming. But the secret to sustainable impact is finding joy alongside the work:

1. Stop & breathe: Even ten minutes of beach time can reset your nervous system.

2. Blend work with play: Turn every farm chore into quality time—share organic treats with volunteers and pups alike.

3. Celebrate small wins: From a successful adoption to a new product launch on www.asherhousewellness.com, pause to savor each milestone.

   
   

When you allow yourself to feel as free as your rescued dogs, burnout loses its grip—and your mission only grows stronger. So wherever your happy place is—be it sand, forest trail, or your lawn—make time to feed your soul. After all, wellness within leads to greatness without, for pets and people both.
