Pickle and Pepper were born in rescue, and here they sit seven months later, still waiting.

The animals in our rescue are safe in foster care for however long it takes to find their forever- but the maintenance of the long-term animals adds up.

Help us continue to help them wait for the right home to discover them.

Please share them in the meantime… They’re wonderful kittens who very badly want their own home

Give to the Max 2025 stories!

Besides having a soft spot for senior dogs, we also have a soft spot for the overlooked. Did you know that we have FIVE heartworm positive dogs receiving treatment right now? Perdita is one of those five. Heartworm is a treatable condition, it is also preventable, and quite expensive to treat. Each one of our heartworm positive dogs will cost a minimum of $500 to treat (this does not include the other vetwork that goes into each dog, such as spay/neuter, vaccines, microchip, deworming, etc).

While we understand the financial burden of taking on dogs such as Perdita, we can continue to save dogs like her because of our wonderful donors and supporters.

Give to the Max 2025 stories!

We have taken on far more medical needs than we anticipated recently, and our resources have been stretched thin. One of our most recent cases is this little Chihuahua, Lil Bit. Before accepting her, we specifically asked about her teeth because we knew we couldn’t afford a major dental procedure. The sending shelter assured us everything was fine.

When she went in for her spay, however, six of her teeth were so severely decayed that they actually fell out during intubation. She is missing a top canine, leaving a hole between her mouth and nasal cavity (an oronasal fistula) that must be surgically closed. Her remaining top canine also needs to be removed and will likely create another fistula that requires repair. She’ll need at least one lower canine extracted as well.

The vet has started her on antibiotics and pain medication, but we are amazed that she has maintained such a bright, happy personality despite what must be significant discomfort. A dental procedure of this magnitude costs around $1,000.00, and without your generosity, we would not be able to continue to save dogs like Lil Bit.

Give to the Max stories 2025!

At Homeward Bound we have a soft spot for the senior dogs, and with that, comes the vet bills that come with an aging pet. One of the toughest parts about rescue is knowing that despite our best efforts, we cannot save them all.

This is Chester. Unfortunately, Chester never made it to our adoptable page. Several months ago, we took in Chester after his family could no longer care for him. Shortly after his arrival, he began having severe and painful grand mal seizures. Chester immediately received the necessary vet care to try and get him back on the road to a healthy life. Through the help of our vets, we tried several different options, however, Chester continued to suffer. After consulting with his vets, his foster family, and his previous family, it was decided that the kindest thing we could do for Chester was to end his suffering. In the end, Chester was surrounded by his foster family, and his previous family, as he crossed the rainbow bridge.

While this is never the outcome we hope for, we were able to provide Chester with the care he needed because of the wonderful support of our donors and supporters.

Give to the Max stories, 2025!

In late 2024 we took in Chloe, an 8 month old Lab girl who was diagnosed with Juvenile Cataracts. At the time, she had already lost 80% of her vision in one eye, and 20% in the other. Without surgery, Chloe would have eventually lost most, if not all of her vision. While we are fully aware that animals can live completely happy lives without their vision, we knew there was a way to restore her vision, and thanks to our amazing donors and supporters, Chloe was able to have her surgery in January of 2025. Today, Chloe is a happy, healthy girl who has since been adopted and is living her best life.

Without the support of our amazing donors and adopters, we would not be able to continue our mission of rescuing dogs just like Chloe.

Give to the Max stories from 2025!

When we saw this post about a Mom cat and her kittens huddled against a house outside, in the cold, we will admit, we watched it for a day hoping someone else would step in.

Then we reminded ourselves that WE are someone. We are a part of an incredible group of people who come together to rescue animals and change their lives. One of our foster homes made space in their home, their hearts and their daily routines to take in this entire family.

We almost lost one of the kittens. We didn't expect her to pull through, she was so sick from worms, but with their TLC she has.

Watch for them to be available soon.

We get a lot of requests to take in dogs, and sometimes what really catches us are the shelter videos ( and the time people spend taking and sending those to us)

Nika was in the shelter using her whole body to ask for someone to rescue her. A kind heart did, and because of that, she was able to come into foster care with us. Her foster is pretty sure she lost her mind when she agreed to foster an active, smart, high drive and silly puppy, but Nika is endearing and sweet and charming to balance it.

Below is her shelter video. You'll understand why we had to say YES.

Give to the Max stories 2025! For our biggest fundraising day of the year, we are sharing some of our most memorable stories from 2025.

Barney is a senior Min Pin who we agreed to take into foster care, and we had some surprises when he went into the vet for his health certificate prior to coming.... Barney had a very significant and serious heart issue.

Once we commit, we commit.

Barney came to us and went through RPAW vet, who is a rescue clinic keeping us afloat by offering vet care at discounted prices. He had cardiac X rays, blood work, and closely monitored surgery to neuter him and refer for a dental.

The best news? Barney was adopted by one of the most warm hearted and compassionate people out there, and is so loved.

We have a soft spot for the seniors, and the medicals.

This pup is not a Homeward Bound dog, but we wanted to assist in getting the word out because she is missing and her family is desperate to find her.

This love is lost in/near Delano, MN. Please check outbuildings, window wells, under porches, etc. Please share this flyer! If you see her or know where she is, please do NOT call for her or follow her. Call the phone number as soon as you can. Thank you!!
