"Hey... are you looking for ME?" Is what we think is going through Nika's mind here. She's been waiting her whole life to be discovered, Nika is an adolescent ( 9 month) herding breed mix who LOVES chase and wrestle play with her foster dog sibling. She is smart, responsive to training, and an outdoor enthusiast, making a yard a priority for her. If she gets someone who walks or runs, even better. This is a dog who would thrive with the confidence boosting of training classes as well. She is dog and cat friendly, house trained, kennel trained. Nika is highlighted because her age makes her overlooked... everyone wants tiny puppy, or fully trained adult, not an adolescent. Here you get the puppy fun with the hardest of the training done. She still nibbles hands in play, needs chew toys, needs a daily exercise outlet.... but past the accidents, and learning manners. She is a really fun, highly responsive dog. Please email [email protected] for more information.

Chuck and Pumpkin are looking for a hail mary.... either together, or separately. We don't have enough open fosters to take them into rescue, and they have one month to find a home ( meaning by Dec 1st).

Chuck is a female longair tabby, 2 years old, spayed and vaccinated. She is gentle with kids, friendly, used to living with another cat. Chuck is an easygoing and good natured kitty.

Pumpkin is the shorthair Tabby with some orange, also 2 years old, spayed and vaccinated. She loves laps, toys, good with kids, used to another cat. She thinks she is a dog and wants to be your companion when you are home.

Driver found!

Driver needed!!

Tallulah is looking for a driver to help her get from Blaine MN towards Hutchinson MN ( near there is fine). Timing can be flexible.

She is very strong, and will be scared with new people, so someone with experience with large dogs and strong enough to hold her leash is ideal.

She rides well in the car.

Foster needed ASAP!

Buddy desperately needs someone to help him. This 4 year old Lab/Shepherd mix was loving life on the farm with his person when it all went belly up and his beloved owner became homeless. She tried everything to keep him.... living in her car with he and the cat, having friends pay for boarding while she tried to get him licensed as her ESA, anything possible to keep him. She has come to the conclusion that she needs to find him a place, and within a few days. Buddy is being graciously cared for at Lucky Dog Boarding in Albany MN until Friday. He is house trained, good with other dogs and cats, friendly and smart. The move from the farm to boarding was overwhelming, especially because being leash walked and kenneled was new, and he was pretty afraid but still polite. He is seeking a home with a yard for him, preferably with a calm well adjusted dog to show him how city life can be, and with someone patient as he acclimates. He's going to be nervous. He loves walks, cuddle time, is excellent with the cat he lived with, and tries so, so hard. Let's help this woman find some relief by finding a place for Buddy. She's otherwise going back to the car with him. If anyone is also interested in donating to boarding costs while we find a place, please reach out. If you can foster Buddy, please email [email protected]. if you are new to fostering, please fill out an application so www.homewardboundrescue.com/application/foster

We are desperately hoping to find Huck a foster asap. He's been left behind the last two transports and he desperately wants out of the shelter.

Huck is a submissive, soft hearted, gentle soul of about 40 pounds needing a foster. He has never had a real home, never been loved, never had kindness before the shelter. He of course needs some house training work, and leash walking and manners, but he is a quiet dog and desperately wants to please. Huck is good with dogs, kids and cats. PLEASE say yes to fostering Huck.
