FEE INCLUDES: Adopting an adult dog (6 months or older) includes spaying/neutering, vaccinations, deworming, flea & tick prevention, heartworm testing, and microchipping. For dogs under 6 months, they receive age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, flea/tick prevention, and microchipping. All dogs are spayed/neutered by 6 months, covered within the adoption fee. The procedure must be done at one of our partner clinics. To begin the adoption process, please submit an application on our website: www.hbwi.org/adopt.

This trial period is designed to ensure the dog is a match for you and aligns with your lifestyle. After the 5-day trial, if all goes well, the adoption will be finalized. Additionally, we require a home visit once the dog is settled in its new home to ensure a smooth transition for both the dog and the adopter.

Story
The shelter I came from called me a “Playgroup Rockstar," meaning I am the dog that played with ALL the dogs there! When new dogs came into the shelter, I came to the rescue to help the people “temperament test” the new ones! I’m a super social butterfly, and I am excellent at teaching the other dogs to loosen up and PLAY! I’m even great at “reading the room” and knowing when other dogs are playful- or if they need some space to decompress first. I had a home before, and they loved me SO much! I had kids to play with, a nice yard, and a family that absolutely adored me. Sadly, someone in the family who lived far away got sick, very sick- and my family needed to go take care of them. It was far away, and it was sudden. They couldn’t find anywhere to move that would allow me to come. I ended up at the shelter from which I came. I was sad, but I understood. My family was sad too... BUT! I am a young, healthy boy with lots of love to give. I love dogs and I love kids! I LOVE the water and would enjoy trips to the lake! I’m even the kid of dog that would LOVE doggie daycare or trips to the dog park! The shelter here in Georgia got REALLY full, so I came to Wisconsin in hopes I could find my forever family. Can you help me on my journey Homeward Bound? I promise you won’t regret welcoming me into your life!

Hey everyone! I'm Lakelyn, the cutest little pup you ever did see! With one stunning blue eye and a heart full of love, I'm just a tiny bundle of joy ready to find my forever home. You see, I may be small, but I've got big dreams— I belong in a cozy place with a family to call my own. I dream of feeling the grass under my paws and playing with kids who'll give me all the love and attention I crave. That's why I'm wagging my tail extra hard at the thought of heading to "Homeward Bound"!

Story
I'm Mallory! I'm just a pup on a mission to find my place in this big ol' world. I need a FOSTER or an ADOPTER to make it to Wisconsin on 4/27, can you help me? At 5 months old, I'm still a youngin', but I've already got a heart as big as a field of flowers. I'm sweet, submissive, and oh-so-gentle, just waiting for the right family to come scoop me up and make me their own. You see, life here in the Georgia shelter is alright, but it's just not where I belong. I've got dreams of cuddles on the couch and adventures in the great outdoors. I'm not picky about my pals either—I get along just great with other dogs and kids. And those curious kitties? Well, let's just say I'm curious about them too, but I know how to give them their space and be respectful. After all, every critter deserves a little kindness, right? I’m sure I could quickly learn to love a kitty sibling! But here's the thing, folks: the shelter's bursting at the seams, and I'm ready to spread my wings and fly all the way to "Homeward Bound" in Wisconsin. I've heard it's the place where dreams come true, where pups like me find their happily ever after. So, if you’ve been waiting for a furry friend to love and cherish, one who'll be by your side through thick and thin, with the softest fur to snuggle in- let Homeward Bound know that you can offer me a safe place to stay while I find my forever family in Wisconsin!

Who doesn’t love a lab puppy with sweet eyes? I'm Belle, and boy are you going to love ME! I’m looking for my forever home and I HOPE it can be in Wisconsin! I hear it’s so much nicer there than in this crowded, loud, scary shelter in Georgia. I need a FOSTER or an ADOPTER to make it to Wisconsin on 4/27, can you help me? I’d sure love to be enjoying the summer with you on the lake instead of the hot concrete cage here in the south. (I also heard your lakes are REALLY GREAT up there!) Help me catch a ride this weekend to safety with Homeward Bound! No puppy deserves to grow up living in a cage!
