DOGS FOR ADOPTION
Homeward Bound is dedicated to rescuing homeless and unwanted animals. 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, and other animals. 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 for over 15 years and has placed over 11,500 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, and 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, and 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, and behavior, including whether or not they are good which children and other pets, their exercise needs, and other important information.

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. Please see our Adoption Dates and Locations for more information.

GIVING ANIMALS AS GIFTS... The holiday season is always a tempting time to adopt an animal for someone as a gift but please, please keep in mind that giving pets as gifts isn't fair to the animal or to the new owners. Why? Often times the recipient of the gift realizes that s/he isn't ready for the time commitment, energy, or love that an animal requires. Sadly, every year there is a large increase in unwanted pets shortly after the holidays and many of these animals are euthanized because the pounds/shelters are packed. Even if the person/people you want to give a pet to is ready for a pet, they need to be there to help pick it out. Thanks and happy holidays!
