Homeward Bound K-9's
| Rescuer's Creed I promise I will take your unwanted animals. I will heal their wounds, their diseases, their broken bones. I will give them the medical attention they need and deserve. I will nurture their starvation, and give them a warm place to sleep. I will spay and neuter them, vaccinate them against the diseases that can harm them. I will treat them and honor them. I will buy them toys, blankets, balls, and teach them to play. I will speak softly to them. I will try to teach them not to fear, not to cry, not to fear, and not to hate. I will whisper sweet, kind, gentle words into their ears, while gently trying to stroke their fear, their pain, and their scars away. I will face their emotional scars and give them time to overcome them. -- author unknown |
How can I help?
We always have room for more volunteers. After all, without volunteers Rescues
would cease to exist. There are several ways you can help.
Transportation:
There are times when we need someone to pick-up/meet/drop-off a dogs to a
foster family. There are times when foster families need help getting dogs
to/from the vet. And sometimes we need help transporting a Dog to his forever
family. Please keep in mind we are all volunteers, foster homes and other
volunteers have jobs and family commitments just like everyone else.
Home Visits:
We require that all foster homes and adoptive homes have a home visit. We
perform home visits to assure dogs and people are adjusting nicely. This also
gives potential foster homes and adoptive families a chance to ask questions.
Home visits usually take 30 minutes or less, and Homeward Bound K-9's will
provide you with a simple form to fill out during the home visit.
Supply Donations:
We are always in need of supplies. Supplies include: collars, leashes, food
bowls, crates ("large" size), towels, blankets, food, treats, chews, Kennels, and
toys. These items do not have to be new or in perfect condition, just safe and
usable.
Monetary Donation:
We always welcome monetary donations that are used to off set the cost of
veterinary care. Monetary donations are 100% tax deductible.
