Homeward Bound Rescue

HBR is a volunteer-run, foster home-based nonprofit rescue located across Ontario, Canada. A small scale dog rescue group located in Ontario, Canada.

We are non-profit, volunteer-run, and foster home based, meaning we have no kennel facilities where our dogs are kept. Each rescue dog lives temporarily in a volunteer's home until their Forever Home is found. We specialize in rescuing brachycephalic (flat faced) dogs: Bulldogs, Pugs, Boston Terriers, Boxers, French Bulldogs, Mastiffs, Shih Tzus, American Bulldogs. All dogs are spayed/neutered, va

ccinated, health checked, and microchipped before adoption. All potential adopters must fill out an application, have references checked, and a home visit. Each dog has an adoption fee they are NOT free. Please respect what we do. All money goes back to care for the dogs. Veterinary costs for the breeds we rescue are very high! Our rescue dogs come from owner surrenders, puppy mills, Humane Societies, and local shelters.

🩵🐾 Remember Me? - Congratulations Wilbur on reaching your 1 yr Adoption Anniversary! 🩵🐾 Wilbur’s Furever Family would like to share a few words about his first year with them ❤️ “ I’m happy to say Wilbur is still with me and going strong. I’ve attached a video of him with his girlfriend Rue, playing their favourite game. They chase each other around ‘til Wilbur’s stubby little legs give out, then they chew each others’ faces for a while. They also enjoy taking blades of grass, twigs, and/or wood chips from each others’ mouth to initiate “chase some more”. We call them Dork and Dorkette. As far as indoor play goes, Wilbur and Gary (his feline brother) often chase each other up and down the upstairs hallway. Never downstairs where I could see them, just a thundering overhead. Wilbur does not really enjoy toys or games like fetch, but he does enjoy walking in the woods. He’s getting more brave, and now will actually go out of my sight sometimes, and if Rue is with us, they range much farther. She makes him brave. I rarely leave Wilbur home alone, and when I do Rue always comes to visit and play for a while. Wilbur has his crate downstairs if he wants to use it, but mostly he prefers his bed upstairs. When I get home, he meets me at the door with every fibre of his being wagging and wiggling. Then we do a tour of the main floor so I can exclaim about what a good boy he is (ie no shoes chewed, no litter fritters consumed, no bedding shredded), and then we sit on the couch so he can wiggle some more and snort in my ear, all the while stomping on my legs with his jackhammer feet. Wilbur is still very anxious/reluctant around most people, but has improved a lot in the last year. He is usually on leash in scary (for him) situations, but when he’s really afraid and tries to bolt, I have to drop the leash and let him run or he drags me off my feet ( road rash is not a good look for me). Fortunately he heads for home if the

Sweet Walter is still looking for his forever home!! This mature Vizsla-American Bulldog mix is great with other dogs, kids, and loves to cuddle...the total package really! Swipe up to see all dogs currently available for adoption 🥰 (https://www.homewardboundrescue.ca/available-dogs/) *PENDING*

Boston has really opened up in her Foster home! She has decided zoomies are fun! And she loves to play with her fur friends 🐾. #bostonterrier #playtime #fostercare #fosterdog #fosteringsaveslives #homewardboundrescue
