Loyal, playful, and full of puppy energy, Wallace is a boy that bonds deeply, loves hard, and is up for a life of adventures. Wallace was surrendered by the family who first rescued him…adored him…but wanted children, and children are the one thing not on Wallace’s list. Wallace arrived lost and confused. Cautious when meeting new people, it was a lot to be left behind again. He needs thoughtful introductions but readily accepts new friends from trusted humans. Social with other dogs, he loves to play rough and rowdy but can adjust as necessary. A swimmer, a lover, and an adventure seeker who plays hard and is intensely devoted. Wallace is a big two-year old boy in search of adult, dog-experienced people to help him write the next, and final chapter. Already approved? Give us a call. Not yet approved? Check out his bio and complete an application. Wallace is ready for home. https://homewardboundgoldens.org/product/wallace/

Today was Teddy’s Day!
Teddy has been with us almost a full year. He arrived fearful of strangers, dogs, his shadow, and getting in cars. But under that tough guy exterior beats a loving, playful heart. Highly intelligent, fiercely loyal, sensitive, and often stubborn, he was a team favorite. It took a village to teach him about trust, security, and most essentially…getting in cars! Yesterday, Teddy met two strangers who saw right into his heart, and he was finally ready to share it. Today, he calls them Mom and Dad. A bunch of his friends showed up to give him a proper send off as we held our breaths and crossed our paws for a successful car loading. That’s when we knew it was a perfect match: Teddy jumped right in! Happy life, big, sweet boy! We will miss you! ♥️

This handsome boy kicked off the first day of October with a Doggy Day Out to Green Acres Nursery, where he got to pick out his very own pumpkin. He was great on his harness, greeted everyone with a friendly hello, and soaked up all the fall fun. But Tanner is looking for something much more special than a pumpkin.
He spent the last year faithfully by his person’s side through a cancer journey. Now, his person’s final wish is for Tanner to find a new loving home.
With excellent house manners, a love of swimming, and a heart full of loyalty, Tanner has so much love to give. Tanner is looking for a home where he can be the one and only, soaking up all the love and attention he deserves.
Check out Tanner’s bio. He’s waiting for his people, and maybe this fall will be the season he finally finds his forever home. https://homewardboundgoldens.org/product/tanner/

ADOPTED-Maggie Mae is a six year old female Golden Retriever. She is an owner surrender by a loving older couple with medical issues. They dearly loved her but could not physically handle her anymore. Maggie will always be a big girl but a weight of 90 pounds would be ideal. Good kids and dogs. She lived with an indoor cat but chased the outdoor cats. I think she misses her family and would like to find a loving home. Available now.

When Claude arrived in July, his world was dark. He had a rare eye condition that led to early cataracts and blindness - unusual in a four-month-old puppy. A complex surgery promised the hope of restored vision but came with a challenging 8-week post-operative treatment plan that has been carefully managed by his devoted fosters, Louise and Brad. Today, Claude’s future is bright. He sees the world as it was meant to be seen and the faces of those who have guided his transformation. Homeward Bound can be there for dogs like Claude because of good people like you…our supporters, fosters, volunteers, and friends. On behalf of Claude and his new life: Thank you!
