My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Dexter is a big handsome hound/border collie mix. He has a gorgeous combination of black, white and tan markings. Dexter's coat is very short and shiny, is 2 years old and fully vetted. He still has lots of playful puppy spunk and is a very fun boy to be around. He is currently in a foster home where he has the company of several other dogs. Dexter was found as a stray but has wonderful house manners. He is great leash walking making him a wonderful hiking companion. He is a super smart boy mastering every command very quickly. Dexter is a fun-loving guy that needs to find a forever home where he can run and work but also have lots of cuddle time. Is it yours? His adoption fee is $300.~~If you are interested in this animal, you can complete the questionnaire found on the available pets page of our website http://hbpr.org. You can also email homeward@ellijay.com, contact us on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/HBPR30540/ or call 706-698-4663.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

We hold monthly adoption open houses at our kennel in Ellijay, Ga. We also arrange to do adoptions at the kennel by appointment. So if one of our pets pulls at your heart, contact us and we will set up a "meet and greet" to start the adoption process.

Adoptions are held at other various locations from time to time around the Gilmer County / Ellijay area.

Please contact us at homeward@ellijay.com for more information as to additional times/locations or to make an appointment to visit our kennel!

More about this rescue

Homeward Bound is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, no-kill organization based in Gilmer County, Georgia, which began in August 2000. We are dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment for unwanted companion animals, while actively seeking permanent homes through our adoption programs. We take in dogs and cats that are found as strays, owner surrenders and abandoned. We also take animals out of high kill shelters to prevent them from being euthanized. We have rescued and adopted out about 7,000 animals.
