Homeward Bound Dog Rescue has been dedicated to rescuing homeless and unwanted animals for 20 years. We are a non-profit, 501(c) 3-tax exempt, no-kill dog rescue and placement organization based in Minnesota. Although our focus is primarily on rescuing dogs, we also rescue cats & kittens. We are an independent organization and depend solely on adoption fees, fundraisers, and donations to operate. We receive NO government support. Homeward Bound has been in operation since 1991 & has placed over 12,800 dogs in loving homes. We try our best to match the dogs with the needs, wants, personalities, and lifestyles of potential adopters to ensure a healthy, happy, & permanent home. All Homeward Bound dogs must live indoors. Dogs are social pack animals by nature and we want them to be able to have all of the companionship, love, & attention they deserve, as well as a chance to bond with the family.
We rescue all types of dogs, ranging from small to large breeds. Roughly 40% of the dogs we rescue are purebred while the other 60% are mixed breeds. The age of the dogs varies from puppies to adults. We will tell you about each dog's history, personality, & behavior, including whether or not they are good which children and other pets, their exercise needs, & other important information.
Homeward Bound is located in Minnesota and is comprised of a network of foster families, so we don't have a facility to view the dogs at. Dogs can be seen at our adoption days. All of our dogs and cats go back to their temporary foster homes if they are not adopted out. We do NOT euthanize them after a certain time period because we feel that the right home will eventually be found. However, because of this policy, we are limited with the number and type of dogs we can rescue. This is why it is so importantto find more people willing to become temporary foster dog or cat parents. When a dog or cat is adopted out of a foster home, another one can be rescued and fostered.
Each week, new dogs are rescued and we hold pet adoptions every Saturday at a Petco location from 11:30a.m. - 4p.m. in the Twin Cities area.
