Homeward Bound is a not for profit volunteer organization. We are not a shelter and we do not have a facility – all the dogs in our program live in foster homes.  We take our dogs into our homes and care for them as if they were our own until they go to their forever homes. The time we spend with them helps us to learn more about them, which allows us to be able to provide applicants with an accurate assessment and the dog’s individual strengths and needs.

Please also take a few minutes to read the adoption information and to fill out the entire application – especially your vet information for all your animals. And please remember to call your vet to release information to us too.

Please understand that our mission is to promote lifelong happiness for our dogs and their adoptive families so please be patient but feel free to email us if you have not heard from us in a few days.  (Contact us here)

We are all volunteers and a very special and dedicated volunteer will be assigned to your application. We can not, however, process incomplete applications so please take a few minutes to give us proper information, especially your vet(s) names and phone numbers for all your animals. This will make the adoption process much quicker and easier for both you and us.
