Homeward Hound

We work primarily with hunting hounds, active and retired. We take in the abandoned, old, and those who might face euthanasia in hopes of finding them new homes. We test some of the dogs that may still be used for hunting purposes, so we know more about what type of home would be best suited for them. We are not opposed to hunting, if done responsibly. Responsibility and changing minds is what we are all about.

Rescue FAQs

We work with shelters mostly in southern Mississippi but on occasion work with others throughout the state. Primarily serve Forrest, Lamar, Jones, and Perry county

Additional adoption info

There is a $100 adoption fee for the dogs in our care. We require fenced yards, or kennels, no tying. Many of the dogs in our care have no experience indoors, though we would love to see them integrated into the family home. Hounds are smart, and can pick up on kennel training quickly. We also require that the animal be returned to us, not sold or given away if the home is no longer a fit.
