Perry's Story

Perry is a fun-loving, smart, and enthusiastic dog who brings a lot of personality wherever he goes. One of his greatest joys in life is his Kong toy—carrying it, tossing it, and proudly retrieving it like it’s the most important job in the world.<br/><br/>He’s the kind of dog who loves having something to do, whether that’s a game of fetch, a walk, or simply hanging out with his people after he’s burned off some energy.<br/>Perry is also continuing to learn about the social world of dogs. <br/><br/>Through careful introductions and observation, we’ve discovered that Perry does best with calm, confident dogs who don’t mind his occasionally rowdy play style. Dogs who are equally high-energy or overly intense can sometimes make him a bit nervous. A steady, easygoing canine companion helps him feel more comfortable and gives him a chance to practice and improve his dog-to-dog communication.<br/>As Perry gains confidence and experience, his social skills will likely continue to grow.<br/><br/>In the home, Perry is a loyal and engaging companion who enjoys being part of the action but also settles in nicely once he’s had some activity. He’s a bright dog who responds well to guidance and would thrive with adopters who enjoy training, structure, and interactive play.<br/><br/>Perry’s ideal home would include:<br/>🐶 A calm, confident dog who won’t mind his playful enthusiasm<br/>🎾 People who enjoy interactive play (especially fetch!)<br/>🧠 A family willing to continue building his confidence and dog skills<br/>Perry is a dog with a lot of heart, a lot of potential, and a very serious commitment to his Kong collection. <br/><br/>With the right dog buddy and supportive humans, he’s ready to keep learning, growing, and bringing plenty of fun to his forever home. <br/><br/>Please do the application at https://www.homewardboundrescue.com/application/dog<br/><br/>*Perry came to Homeward Bound due to extraordinary circumstances. He was living in unsanitary conditions and lacked appropriate socialization and health care. He's still learning how to express excitement appropriately, so he can be a bit jumpy and mouthy at times. He’ll need plenty of physical activity, mental stimulation, and ongoing training to help him grow into a well-mannered best friend.

Homeward Bound Rescue's Adoption Policy
Adoption Policies and Requirements At Homeward Bound, our animals come first. Each animal is housed in home by one of our amazing foster families. We do not have a facility. Because the animals live in our homes, we can make a better assessment as to what homes fit each animal. We do not have blanket policies but instead make requirements for pets based on that individual pet’s needs. Please be sure to read each bio on the animal you are interested in thoroughly to see if you/your lifestyle/home/family are a good fit. All animals adopted from Homeward Bound are required to be indoor pets. We do not adopt our pets to outdoor homes. We reserve the right to deny an application at any time, for any reason. Spay/Neuter All animals in our care are/will be spayed or neutered as part of the adoption process. Most of our animals are fixed prior to adoption, but in some cases, due to vet availability, a pet may be adopted with the requirement that the adopter MUST get the pet to one of our participating vet clinics by a certain date (which will be listed on the adoption contract). This appointment will be coordinated between our director and the adopter. Other animals within an applicant’s home are expected to be altered as well. As a rescue, our job is to do our part to help control the pet overpopulation problem, and that begins with responsible spay/neuter practices. In the rare instance where a pet is deemed medically unable to be altered, we may make an exception. Vet Care All animals within our care will be current on their age-appropriate vaccines as well as monthly flea/tick/heartworm preventative. Adult dogs will be tested (& if necessary, treated) for heartworm/tick borne illnesses as part of the adoption process. All animals in our care will receive a microchip which will be linked to us as secondary contact (the adopter can register their pet as the primary contact following adoption). An applicant’s current pets must be current and up-to-date on their vaccinations, and a vet reference must be provided on the adoption application. Renters If you rent your home, you must provide the contact information for your landlord during the application process. Home Visit In certain cases, we may require a home visit. References Two NON-FAMILY references are required for our adoption applications, as well as a vet reference. A non-family reference would be someone who knows you well enough to know how you care for your pets and is not related to you. Please note: while we wish we had the manpower to call all adopters and references directly, we are a small, volunteer run rescue (we all have full time jobs, families, and pets), so email contacts are required for all references. Return Policy As part of the adoption process, our adoption contract states that if you adopt a dog from Homeward Bound and are at any time unable to care for that pet, you must first contact us. Please be aware that because we are a foster based rescue, it may take us time to locate an open foster home for a return. In certain cases, where an animal is deemed a danger to people or other animals, we may not be able to accept the animal back. In the rare instance that this occurs, we will work directly with the adopter to find a solution.
