"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.

They say second chances can change everything, and honestly? I'm living proof of that. I'm a 4-year-old Boxer who survived the shelter life, cleared my medical checks with a completely clean bill of health, and now I'm ready to find the forever family I've always deserved.

The Quick Stats on Me:
- Age & Size: I'm 4 years young and a perfectly huggable 50 pounds.
- My Skills: I'm already house trained and crate trained (I've got this adult dog thing down).
- My Social Circle: I am both kid friendly and dog friendly--the more the merrier!
- My Vibe: I'm the ultimate mix of a playful companion and a professional couch buddy.

What I'm Looking For:
- I lost my home once before, and I'm really hoping my next family will be my last. - I'm a simple guy--I'm happiest when I'm just spending quality time with my people. Whether we're going for a walk or melting into the sofa together, I just want to be by your side.

Testimonials

Kelly M

“How do you thank the people that gave you a piece of your heart back? We had to say goodbye to our rescue of 8 years a few months ago. It left a huge hole in my heart and I knew the best way to honor Penny was to provide another rescue with the same love she gave us. Meet Ginger! Thanks to Homebound Hounds - my heart is full again. They not only saved her from being euthanized at the pound, they restored our hearts and home with the kind of pure love only a dog can bring! Working with Ginger's foster mom, they made every step smooth-ensuring it was a good fit all around for us and Ginger. They are genuine people with sincere hearts-working to save lives! My husband and I are so grateful for this giant gift we were blessed to receive."
