Our hands are full year-round and we appreciate each member of our rescue family (that's you)!
Every animal deserves a second chance for a life full of compassion, safety, snuggles, and a warm bed! Our staff spoils them with TLC so they know what to expect from their new families. We realize there are many wonderful organizations close to your heart and hopeful that you'll consider our animals in your charitable giving plans.

As Oregon's first no-kill shelter founded in 1975, Homeward Bound Pets Humane Society has been proudly serving the abused, neglected, stray, and homeless animals of Yamhill County. Your help will allow us to serve generations to come. 
 
Thank you from the bottom of our animal-loving hearts.

Stevie's Happily Ever After
Stevie and his brother arrived at our shelter after being abandoned in a cold rental home left to fend for themselves. Our team jumped into action providing medical and emotional support, but due to poor socialization, the boys displayed Littermate Syndrome and needed to be separated. Since March, 2020 our shelter has been overflowing so we didn't have the room to give the brothers their own kennel.

Here's where the happy plot twist begins! This handsome pup hit the jackpot when Marvin Pierce, a local dog trainer offered to bring him to his training facility to help him become more independent. After some hard work (by both parties!), he learned how to be more confident and social. Good boy, Stevie!

Afterwards, though it was heartbreaking to watch as eight families no-show for appointments to meet him. His lucky day came when a wonderful family brought their dog to meet Stevie; it was a perfect match! He now shares a life full of love, compassion, and safety with his new brother! This was a true team effort by our shelter staff, volunteers, Marvin and our community.
Marvin works with local shelters to rehabilitate longtime residents and tough adoption cases in effort to give them the best chance of finding their new families. He has over 30 years of experience in dog obedience training. We are so grateful for the life-changing services he and his staff are willing to provide some of our animals.
Our animals need us to be their voices and you've proven we can rely on you!
We bet that many of you would agree that 2022 was a tough year. It's incredibly touching that despite difficulties that popped up, you still found a way to make animal rescue and rehabilitation a priority. With your help, hundreds of sweet animals who arrived at our shelter got their second chance at a forever home filled with trust, love and belly rubs.

From our family to yours, we wish you peace and joy as the new year approaches and all year long.
