Our Featured Pet...
Hannah
Hannah was a tiny puppy with a deformed front leg when she was turned into the pound. Being a "pit" mix and with the deformity - she would have been euthanized immeadiately. Lucky for her the Rescue Coordinator decided to find a foster home for her until she was bigger and then let the pound amputate her leg and publicize it to try and get her adopted.
Well - of course her foster mom fell in love with her and took her to her own vets who said leave the leg!!!
Little Hannah gets along quite well with her handicap! She can even jump up on you - the landing gets a little rocky - but she does not let it stop her! She loves to play with other dogs and to cuddle with her foster mom at night......
So now instead of sending her back to the local kill shelter - we are trying to find her that forever home!! If you have room in your heart and home for this little girl - she will bring you years of love.
News
We would like to extend out sincere gratitude to the veterinarians in our area that truly care for the discarded rescues we save!!
We have had a lot of special needs dogs lately - from a paralized Shepherd mix, a deaf Dane, a blind Lab pup and a emaciated Saint Bernard who was in desparate need a leg amputation and a 5 month old pup who has a birth defect that allows water to get behind the lens of her eyes. Not to mention all of the severe respiratory, parvo and skin issues our vets deal with on a daily basis!
Our sincerest thanks to those special veterinarians that truly want to help these animals! Without help from these guys we would not be able to provide care for what we have!
We can not thank these individuals enough!

Who We Are
Homeward Bound Dog Rescue is a group of individuals who have dedicated our lives to saving dogs from "Kill Shelters" by fostering and adopting these pets out to what is hopefully their "forever" home. We started out as a San Antonio satellite Great Dane Rescue working with PAWS of Austin. As we got more and more fosters - we started pulling more and more dogs from the San Antonio kill shelter (ACS). Because we were in Austin so much with the Danes - our site address is actually based in Austin but all of the dogs are located in San Antonio. We are dedicated to helping these animals become family members and not
just pets.
We are NOT a shelter - but rather individuals that have opened our homes to the unwanted.... if you would like to help in any way - please email us!
Adopting a friend
Please check out all of the dogs we have on our adoption page - maybe they would make a great addition to your family! We would always like to find the right home for every dog. Because all of our dogs are in foster homes, we usually know if a dog will be happiest with other dogs or without other dogs in the home, if they will be okay with cats, and if they'll be okay with children.We work with all of the applicants to find the right energy level of dog for their family and the right temperament. All of this pre-adoption work helps to ensure that this adoption will be the perfect fit.
A completed adoption application is required, including the name and number of your current veterinarian and landlord, if applicable. We will contact your current vet, landlord and personal references, if needed.
The adoption fee’s are posted below. All of the adoption fee's go toward our rescue expenses. Unfortunately, the expenses incurred to vaccinate, test and treat (when necessary) for Heartworms, spayed/neutered, micro chipped, and feed these dogs while in rescue far exceeds the adoption fees. Also, many of the dogs that we get into rescue are in need of additional veterinary care as a result of previous abuse and neglect.
Adoption Fees:
Mix Breed Dogs - $125.00 +
Puppies - $150.00 +
Pure Breed dogs - $150.00+ depending on breed
Senior Dogs over 7 years - $100
All adoptions have a mandatory 7 day trial adoption before the final
adoption will be finalaized.
