"Saving dogs from euthanasia,
one paw at a time."
Our Mission
Our Mission Statement
In 2024, 390,000 dogs were euthanized in the US, and this is the highest number in the past five years. (Shelter Animals Count Database, 2025)
Overall, euthanasia is on the rise, which is why we established Homebound Hounds. We are a California-based dog rescue on a mission to save, foster, and find forever homes for at-risk dogs.
Our core team and volunteers are devoted to preventing unnecessary euthanasia while promoting public awareness of the over-population crisis. We invite you to join our cause, and ideally, one day, we will end capacity-based euthanasia once and for all.
Feature Hound
Lulu
Lulu’s story is one of heartbreak and hope. After her family surrendered her to a high-kill shelter, she was placed on the euthanasia list within days. Thankfully, she was rescued just in time. She is now safe and already showing us what a wonderful dog she is. She is:
-
A fast learner and eager to please
-
Gold star pupil at group trainings
-
Excellent in the car
-
Food-motivated, which makes training a breeze
Ideal home: Lulu will do best with a shepherd-experienced family who understands the breed’s intelligence, loyalty, and need for guidance. With consistency and love, she will blossom into a devoted companion.
If you’re looking for a loyal, intelligent dog with a heart full of gratitude, Lulu is waiting for you.

"If just 6% of the families chose to adopt instead of purchase, we would end the killing of cats and dogs in our nation's shelters." (Source: Best Friends, Apr 2024)
