Homestretch Hounds

Homestretch Hounds Rescue and Pet Orphanage is an IRS recognized 501(c)(3) tax exempt charity. Our organization receives no tax dollars, our work is made possible only by the generosity of people like yourself. We are a rescue and shelter located in Southwestern Ohio. Most of our rescued pets come from small, rural pounds. Our mission is to give these fantastic animals a second chance at life by bringing them to our program when their time is up at other facilities. Our program cannot continue without your support. Our adoptable pets have so much to give, they just need to be given a second chance. By adopting a pet, you are truly saving a life. Please take a look at our wonderful dogs for adoption and please spay or neuter your pets. Thank you for your support!

If you have room in your heart and your home please consider adopting or fostering one of our wonderful "animal-kids". If you are not able to adopt at this time, then please sponsor one of our wonderful adoptable pets. Some of the adoptable pets are only with us for a short time, while others are with us much, much longer. Our rescue is open to any animal in need as space allows. The expense of caring for these residents whether short or long term is huge. Sponsorships can be arranged in any amount.

We are in need of supplies for the animals. We are always in need of new or gently used, leashes, collars, dishes, toys, cages and crates...and just about any other animal item you can think of. Paper towels, bleach, laundry detergent and other cleaning supplies are also needed and appreciated. We are also in need of new or gently used comforters, blankets, bath rugs with non-skid backing, dog and cat beds. If you can donate any items, please contact us, thank you!

We are also of course in need of monetary donations. Our expenses are many in caring for and finding homes for pets in need. Donations of any amount are greatly needed and appreciated and are tax deductible as allowed by the IRS. We are all volunteer allowing 100% of all donations to go to helping pets! Thank you for your support in helping pets in need, together we can make a difference!

Additional adoption info

Thank you for your interest in adopting a pet. We are always in need of loving homes for our adoptable "animal-kids". Each dog that we find a fantastic home for allows us the space to help another animal in need. Prior to adoption, all pets have been examined by a licensed veterinarian, spayed or neutered, given age appropriate vaccinations, treated for fleas, checked for internal parasites, treated for internal parasites as needed, and all dogs are heartworm tested.

Our adoption fee is $150 for most dogs and puppies and includes the above mentioned vet care. We do not make any money on these fees, these fees help us to cover some of our expenses. We are not a subsidized shelter, meaning that we receive no funding other than adoption fees and donations. Our expenses are many, we cannot continue to help animals without your support.

Please send us an email for more information on any of our adoptable pets or for an application to adopt. Thank you for giving one of our fantastic animals a second chance at life!!!
