In 2016, Mike Favor’s life took a turn when he crossed paths with a tiny German shepherd puppy named Honey. Despite his doubts and struggles with sobriety, he decided to give her a loving home, even if it was just for a few months.
Little did he know that this decision would lead him on a remarkable journey of healing and purpose.
Fast forward to today, and Mr. Favor proudly showcases Freedom Home, a sanctuary he built for abused and neglected dogs.
Here, he not only facilitates adoptions through Broken Souls Rescue and Recovery but also connects recovering addicts with canine companions through his program, Pitbulls and Addicts.
For him, these misunderstood breeds mirror his own journey of finding acceptance and a reason to live beyond addiction.
Walking through the corridors of Freedom Home, you’ll meet a diverse group of dogs, each with their own story of resilience and survival.
From Honey, who defied all odds and lived well beyond expectations, to Rolly, the Dalmatian spreading love and comfort to those in need, these furry friends have become more than just pets to Mr. Favor – they are his source of strength and connection.
Despite his challenges – from dealing with irresponsible pet owners to managing the complex dynamics of rescue work – Mr. Favor remains unwavering in his commitment to these animals. His candid nature and tough-love approach may ruffle some feathers, but his passion for saving lives, both human and canine, shines through.
In a world where compassion and empathy often take a backseat, Mr. Favor stands out as a beacon of hope for those who have been forgotten or abandoned. Through his tireless efforts and the support of his community, he continues to make a difference, one paw at a time.
As he navigates the ups and downs of running a rescue operation, Mr. Favor’s story serves as a reminder that true strength lies in our ability to open our hearts to others, both two-legged and four-legged.
In a society that often overlooks the broken and the misunderstood, he shows us that redemption and transformation are possible, one rescue dog at a time.
