About our organization...

At Homeward Bound Horses & Hounds, our passion is rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming animals in need. We believe that every animal deserves a chance at a happy, healthy life, and we are dedicated to making that vision a reality. Our team of compassionate staff and volunteers works tirelessly to provide the best care for animals that have been abandoned, abused, or neglected.

Our Mission...

Our mission is to rescue vulnerable animals, provide them with the medical care and rehabilitation they need, and find them loving forever homes. We strive to promote animal welfare through education, community outreach, and advocacy.

What We Do at
Homeward Bound Horses & Hounds...

Rescue: We respond to calls about animals in distress, working with local authorities and community members to bring them to safety. Our rescue efforts include everything from emergency rescues of injured animals to taking in those surrendered by their owners.


Rehabilitation: Many animals arrive at our facility in need of medical attention and emotional healing. Our skilled veterinary team provides necessary treatments, surgeries, and ongoing care, while our behaviorists and volunteers offer the love and support these animals need to recover.


Rehoming: Finding the perfect match between animals and adoptive families is one of our greatest joys. We carefully screen potential adopters and provide guidance to ensure successful, lasting adoptions.


Education and Outreach: We believe in the power of education to prevent animal cruelty and neglect. Our outreach programs aim to inform the public about responsible pet ownership, the importance of spaying and neutering, and the many benefits of adopting rather than purchasing pets.

Why Support Us?


Running an animal rescue is an ongoing and demanding effort that requires substantial resources. This is where our sponsors and donors become our lifeline. Your support is crucial in enabling us to continue our mission. Here’s how your contributions make a difference:


Medical Care: Many of the animals we rescue need urgent and often expensive medical treatments. Donations and sponsorships help cover the costs of surgeries, medications, and routine veterinary care.


Daily Operations: Feeding, housing, and caring for animals involves a multitude of daily expenses. Your donations ensure that we can provide a safe and comfortable environment for all the animals in our care.


Rehabilitation Programs: Behavioral training and socialization are essential for many animals to become adoptable. Your support funds these programs, giving every animal the best chance at finding a loving home.


Community Programs: Our educational initiatives and outreach efforts are made possible by donations. By supporting these programs, you help us spread the message of animal welfare and prevent future cases of neglect and abuse.
