These are just 100 faces of the 541 dogs that came through our doors this year. As we look back on another year filled with hope, happy endings, and sometimes tears, we are grateful to our rescue, veterinarian, and shelter partners; to the surrendering families who trusted us to care for their dogs when they could not; to the adopters who give them the lives they deserve; to our supporters who sustain our mission; and to the volunteers whose time, toil, talents, and hearts make it possible. Our wish for all in the New Year: Health. Happiness. Safety. Home.

Play Group helps us learn more about the dogs and how the should be matched…not to mention, getting their zoomies out! With a house full, our team got muddy today to run 17 groups and help ready dogs for forever homes. If you’re approved to adopt, give us a call to see who we have added to the Available list. And thanks to Jen, Maryann, Lindsey, and Michelle for taking one for the team to get it done! Baths all around! Dogs and humans!

Recently, a Secret Santa made a generous donation with one ask: Please ensure that all waiting dogs in our care are spoiled rotten for Christmas! That's a request we could happily honor! Truckloads of goodies arrived along with the generous donations of our own volunteers for a special Paws4Presents day last weekend where the dogs chose their own toys, treats, and special items. There were no white elephants at this party!

Thank you to our Secret Santas and our hardworking elves for spreading so much holiday cheer! Checkout the video link!

Hi everyone. Stanley here! Santa stopped by recently and said he heard I have been a very good boy who has been a little overlooked. It’s true! He asked me what I wanted for Christmas. Not toys or treats, I said…just home. I have a couple special needs, but nothing we can’t manage together with Homeward Bound’s help. Mostly, I’m looking for a stable home filled with love where I can be your best bud. That’s my simple Christmas wish. I hope Santa can deliver.
