Areas Homeward Hound Pet Rescue serves
HHPR is a small, foster-based rescue that is dedicated to saving adoptable animals from kill shelters and placing them into loving homes. We are located in Tampa, FL but we need fosters and volunteers from across the state. We will do long-distance adoptions, provided we get positive, credible references.
Homeward Hound Pet Rescue's adoption process
Additional adoption info
If you are interested in a dog or cat, please email us so we can talk to you about the animal's personality and determine if it is a good fit.
After that, we require adopters to fill out an application for our records. A current phone number to a veterinarian (if applicable) is required here.
When the application is approved, a meet-and-greet is scheduled at the convenience of the potential adopter and the foster home. Generally, these visits are done at or near the foster home.
If all goes well, a contract is signed and adoption fees are paid, the pet can go home that day!
Please note: If adoption fee is paid by check, we will not release an animal to an adopter until the check has cleared.
Our fees are:
Puppies (under 6 months old): $250
Young (6 months to 2 years): $200
Adults (2 years to 6 years): $150
Seniors (6 years and older): $100
Kittens (under 6 months old): $75
Cats (over 6 months old): $50

About Homeward Hound Pet Rescue
After volunteering at the local county shelter and seeing so many healthy, adoptable cats and dogs killed, we decided to do something about it. Our mission is to save as many animals as we can, while spreading the message of responsible ownership and the No-Kill Equation.
For our mission to succeed, we need all the help we can get! Monetary donations are vital so we can pay vet bills and other expenses. Foster homes are ALWAYS needed! If you can open your heart and home for even a short amount of time, you can save lives!
Other volunteer positions are available, also. If you are interested in helping out, contact us and we'll see what we can do!

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
