• Where no animal suffers from abuse or neglect
• Where companion animals are treated as lifelong, valued family members

Temporary respite through Pets in Crisis and the support of low-income families and their pets with food and veterinary care are just two examples of how Homeward Bound works on immediate and long-term goals. Dedicated and creative staff, supportive Board members, and a dynamic community of volunteers and donors stand behind the agency’s work.

This will include, but is not limited to, cost-effective and humane operation of the shelter, oversight of the medical/surgery suite, development of new programs, financial management, fundraising, and staff and volunteer recruitment and retention.
