Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.All of the animals posted on our site have been temperament tested. While not all are in the immediate area, once we have processed and approved your application, we will move the dog to our adoptive area for you to meet, greet and hopefully adopt. Sometimes we will have more than one application on a dog. That does not mean it automatically goes to another family but you should be aware of the fact that until you are approved and set up for the meet/greet.. the dog could get adopted by another applicant.This show stopping big boy is young and full of life. His foster says he is 'very sweet, a lover, adores attention' What a wonderful combination! Sounds like a family dog to me and a best friend in the bargain. He has been seen to be friendly with other dogs. He gets herding and care giving instincts from both sides of his family. He also inherits huge amounts of intelligence from those genes. It should be an enjoyable experience training him to do whatever you might want. He has had all his shots and is ready to be yours. Think of losing your hands in that amazingly soft, deep coat. It will be like playing in the clouds! Come see for yourself!  If you are interested in Simba, please fill out an application at: https://reachoutrescue.rescuegroups.org/forms/form?formid=4588    Or contact: rorrcanine@gmail.com   *** Click here to sponsor this dog! ***Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 24, 2024, 11:31 am

Story
Everett came to us as a stray from animal control. He was wary of people. He has been at the Happy Hounds Prison Dog Program for several months and has done very well! Everett is a really great dog and should be somewhere he can have a large fenced yard to play in and patrol. At first we thought Everett was a farm dog, but the husky in him does not make him suitable for farm life. Everett needs to form a bond with his person/people. He doesn't tolerate strangers and will alert them that they are unwelcome. Everett is truly a working dog whose sole purpose in life is to protect his people and property. He is not a social dog per se except with his owner(s) and family members. Because of his protective nature, he would do better in a home without children. If you are looking for a dog to protect you, your family, and your property, Everest is your boy....AND he's housebroken and obedience trained! Anyone willing to take a couple of days to bond with Everett will find out what a special dog he is; VERY loyal. He's a beautiful, smart, sweet boy that we think would love to have a family and home of his own. Please spread the word about Everett so he can have his forever family soon! Everett is ready to be adopted. Whoever adopts this beautiful boy will need to understand that it will take a little time to bond. Once that bond is created Everett will be the perfect dog. He will protect the family and property, Update from his trainer: Week 24. Not much more to say about Everett. He a Pyrenees and needs a furever home that understands the breed. He bonds strongly with his people in about 2 days. He will always be a guard dog (in his DNA). He will always protect his people. He knows are his commands and cues. Everett is a very humble and observant dog especially to strangers. He does guard his "space". He is not actively involved with any other dogs. No issues with toys or food. He's more of a guarder around his "home". Overall, Everett is a great dog as long as he acknowledges their trust which has to be earned. He knows his commands/cues like sit, down. He isn't destructive and a good leash walker (unless he sees something that distracts him). He is particularly annoyed by trucks for some reason, so a fenced yard is a must.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Delilah, a beautiful Great Pyrenees Mama of 12 that is now ready to find a family of her own.  She requires a family that is willing to be patient with her.  She is very shy and takes a time to warm up.  She is not a fan of men. but loves children.  Because of her breed she does require a fence in yard.    She loves playing with other dogs, lying on the couch, toys, snuggles and giving and getting love from her Foster Mom and children.  She will need a home willing to continue patiently sharing these with her as she came to us as a very timid Mama of 12.  She loves the colder weather, snow and being outside.  She is not super active as is the Pyrenees nature, but time outside especially in the cooler weather makes her very happy.  Once she fills out she will be about 85lbs.  She is in love with her Foster's 4 yr old daughter and will do well with kids that are gentle and understand that she needs them to quiet and respectful of her.  She will thrive in the right environment and be an awesome addition to the family. She is HW positive and has one more treatment to go.  Her treatment will be explained in depth to all potential adopters and is paid for by Homeward Bound as long as she is taken to our Vet in Dillsburg, PA.   If you have an approved application and are interested in more information or possibly adopting Delilah, please reach out to her Foster Mom at thatsme963@aol.com Applications can be completed on our website:  HTTPS://homewardbound2u.rescuegroups.org Homeward Bound Animal Rescue is licensed and inspected by the PA Dept of Dog Law.

Story
My name is Bach and I am a 13 month old Great Pyrenees mix. Yeah I know I look labby but Hero did a DNA test and BOOM, I am 67% Great Pyrenees. My coat is super duper soft and my foster mom loves to stroke it like a teddy bear. I am a quick lover and a sweet boy who loves to take care of my family. For a one year old I have decent manners. I don't nip or jump on people but I do like to jump up to see if there is any yummy food on the counter. Foster Mom is working with me on that and I'm doing a lot better in the month I been here. I like to cuddle especially on the couch in the front of the house. I am always open to hugs and enjoy unsolicited ones from my Foster Mom. If you look up the breed characteristics of a Great Pyrenees that is me to a tee! I am loyal, protective, smart, calm and loving! I am also a big old goof ball which isn't an AKC standard yet I am very very treat motivated and take them gently. I already know sit! I LOVE my 3 foster siblings and get along great with them although I am learning to respect the boundaries of the elders here. Snaps and snarls are slowly working! I would love to romp around and chase another younger dog. I LOVE to box and rassle with the adult dog here. There is seriously no dog I don't love and I don't take it too personally if they don't like me I am house trained with a consistent schedule. I am great in the crate as long as it is in a secluded area. I sleep fine at night not crated. No accidents and no mischief. I can't wait to find a family to call my own https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HRMD/Dog ADOPTION PROCESS 1. Review our adoption contract and application. 2.

Story
Bernie is a 3 y/o half Great Pyrenees/half Bernese Mountain Dog. He is goofy, loving, silly, playful and friendly. His older (non related) brother is a cattle dog mix and they have not been getting along lately. Bernie is used to a fenced in back yard and would need a leash without a fence. He loves car rides and playing at the dog park. He gets along with cats and dogs but has not really been around kids. I’ve had him since he was 9 weeks old, bought (unfortunately) and he has some mild separation anxiety. He has a typical prey drive and wants to chase bunnies, squirrels, etc. He is working on his manners but does know his basic commands. His ideal home would have plenty of outside space for him and love to give scratches and affection! If you’ve read this far, hopefully you’re still interested! Bernie does show mild food aggression towards other dogs occasionally. Other than that, he’s mostly a typical big goofy dog with a happy-go-lucky personality who does not like to miss out!

Story
**Must have an approved application to meet** Meet Tyberious! This handsome, nine-month-old pup came to us in November 2023 and is looking for a patient home that will continue teaching him that the world and new people are not so scary! There is reason to believe that Tyberious was not treated the kindest in his previous home and will need to go into a home where only positive reinforcement training is used and where the people in his home can provide a structured environment for him to continue building his confidence. In his time with us, Tyberious has been very neutral and curious about other animals. He pays no mind to the other dogs in the kennel and has been friendly with with the office cats he has met! He is a very smart and food-motivated dog and has made a lot of progress even with his basic training since coming to us. Ty currently knows 'sit' ,'down', 'off' and is working on 'leave it' and his leash manners. There is nothing he is not willing to work on as long as he is given a treat in return! Tyberious is an extremely goofy pup once he gets comfortable with you! He is an absolute cuddle bug once he has bonded with you and wants nothing more than to snuggle He is always ready to play a game of tug whether he is lounging around with you inside or hanging around outside. Tyberious loves exploring the outdoors and going on car rides as long as he has someone there to reassure him that everything is fine. He gravitates more toward the women he has met but with patience (and treats!) does warm up to men as long as he is provided the time to get to know them. Once he has all that puppy energy out, Tyberious settles well and enjoys having a chew or Kong to entertain himself with. Squeaky toys and stuffed toys are his absolute favorite to play with and he will keep himself endlessly entertained by tossing them around or playing fetch. All this big boy wants to do is find a home where he can grow into the wonderful dog staff knows him to be! If you are interested in visiting Tyberious and have an approved application, feel free to contact us about more information or a time to meet. Applications can be submitted online or in person here at the shelter if you have yet to have an application submitted. Feel free to share so we are able to find Tyberious a home best suited for this handsome boy!
