Jackson's Story

**WE ARE ALWAYS IN NEED OF FOSTER HOMES** Homeward Bound Dog Rescue is an all volunteer rescue organization and all our dogs and puppies are in foster homes - we are not a shelter and do NOT have a facility where we house our dogs. For adoption information go to: www.homewardbounddogrescue.com. You must fill out an application online as we do NOT accept applications at our clinics.<br/><br/>Meet Jackson: Your New Best Friend! 🐾<br/><br/>Are you looking for a professional-level snuggler who also happens to have a goofy, playful side? Look no further! Jackson is the definition of a "people person" and is ready to find a forever home where he can be the center of your world.<br/><br/>The Personality Highlights:<br/><br/>• World-Class Cuddler: If there is a couch available, Jackson wants to be on it—specifically, right next to (or on top of) you. He has an unlimited supply of affection.<br/>• Social Butterfly: Friendly to the core! Whether it’s meeting new human friends or hanging out with the kids, Jackson is all about making connections.<br/>• Playful & Fun: When he isn't napping, Jackson is ready for a game of fetch or a romp in the yard. He has a balanced energy that makes him the perfect companion for both adventures and movie marathons.<br/><br/>Home Life & Training:<br/><br/>• The Best of Both Worlds: Jackson is versatile! He would be perfectly happy being your one-and-only dog, soaking up all the attention. However, he also plays well with others and would do great with a canine sibling.<br/>• Cat Status: While he hasn't been officially "cat tested" yet, Jackson's gentle and friendly nature suggests he’d likely be just fine with a feline friend after a proper introduction.<br/>• A+ House Manners:<br/>• Crate Trained: Jackson considers his crate a safe space and settles in nicely.<br/>• Potty Training: He is doing fantastic! As long as his human is attentive to his cues and keeps a regular schedule, Jackson is a total pro.<br/><br/>The Ideal Match:<br/><br/>Jackson's biggest wish is to always be around people. He is looking for a home where he won't be left alone for long stretches—a place where he can truly be part of the family. If you have a heart (and a spot on the sofa) to spare, Jackson is ready to fill it with love.<br/><br/>Our adoption clinics are held one Saturday a month at our facility in Schenectady on John Street, located directly behind Boulevard Bowl (Erie Boulevard) from 10 am to 12 pm (directions are on our website). We require an approved application before we consider anyone for an adoption - so filling out the application is your first step. Once your application has been reviewed, you will receive an email invitation to attend an adoption event. Different dogs and puppies go up for adoption EVERY WEEK so please feel free to visit the site and click on the Petfinder link for updates as we are adopting dogs out in between adoption events. Puppies and dogs up to 2 years old are $395. Dogs over 2 years old are $295. 100% of the adoption fees go to help us save more dogs.

Homeward Bound Dog Rescue of NY's Adoption Policy
Adoption Requirements Process: 1) Fill out an On-Line Adoption application. This should be completed with little or no omissions or incorrect data. Please understand that we cannot process your application if you do not take the time to fill one out properly. Please note that until we review your application and tell you that you are approved to adopt, you cannot adopt one of our dogs - the process does take a little while so it is good start early. For various reasons, we are no longer accepting "hand-apps." Pay particular attention to your references and Veterinarian, including phone numbers. You will need to let your vet know that they can release information to us. We will be calling them. Filling out an on-line application before you come to the Saturday clinic will speed up the process, and will go directly to the HB volunteers who manage applications. Please remember to click the "SUBMIT APPLICATION" button when completed. If you are not within 40 miles of the Albany Airport, please do not apply. This a distance we decided upon and if you disagree with our definition for out-of-the-area, please feel free to look for a dog in your community. 2) Interview: Qualified volunteer (we are all volunteers) interviews you, for numerous reasons. First, we want to find our dogs the best possible homes. Second, we want to match personalities as much as possible. (We really don't want to see adoptions fail). Third, we get a kick out of helping to complete families, and who knows, you might get convinced to become a volunteer as well. We require everyone in the household to be present for the interview process, especially young children. We need to see the interaction between the dog and everyone in the family, and for that reason we NEVER do surprise or gift adoptions. 3) Reference Check: See the first reason for the interview. 4) Home Visit: We will do a home visit if you have animals at home that we feel our dog needs to meet before adoption takes place. Sometimes personalities clash, and somebody does not like someone else. This is especially true if you have cats and we do not know how the dog you wish to adopt will react to cats. We will also do a home visit for any potential adopter who requests it or if we feel there is a situation at home that warrants one. We have replaced the home visit for many of our adopters, by our interview, as we feel it is thorough and tells us what we need to know. 5) Contract: Once you are approved we will meet to handle the paperwork at our Saturday clinic. Once the contract is completed and your adoption fee is paid (cash or check ONLY) your new family member is turned over. We then hand over or mail you copies of everything we have about your new dog (medical records particularly). 6) Follow Ups: You may hear from us!! We will try to send follow up emails to check out how things are going. 7) Also, please send us pictures of your new family member whenever possible. We love to see success stories, so please keep in touch. You are very welcome to come to a later clinic with your new family member and show them off. We also love to get Alumni pictures and stories from the new family to post.
