- Homeward Bound Dog Rescue is a 501 (c)3 non-profit, all-volunteer animal rescue that saves homeless and abandoned dogs from euthanasia. Our main goal is to find a good home for dogs and provide the proper vaccinations and spay/neuter them before the adoption occurs. With no boarding facility or shelter of their own, we currently are focusing on the dogs held in the Hinton Municipal Dog Pound at this time.
Since August 2014, Homeward Bound Dog Rescue has volunteered countless hours and spends money to help feed, provide funding & transport for spay/neuter and veterinary care, and adoption services to dogs at the municipal pound. We have future plans to own rescue facility at some point.
Funding
We receive no state or federal funding. The organization's support comes primary from donations, adoption fees, and out of the volunteers' pockets. The organization's largest expense at this time is veterinary care for rescued dogs.
HBDR provides the following services and more:
-Adoption fairs and posting dogs online to find potential families
-Provide daily exercise for dogs at the municipal pound
-Volunteer at pound to help clean cages, feed, and provide daily care
-Networking and arranging transport for dogs to approved rescues
-Preparation of dog profiles and pictures to give more info to potential adopters and rescues
-Comparison of lost and found dogs in attempt to reunite as many dogs with owners as possible
-Provide transportation and prepayment of vet care before adoptions are made
