one paw at a time."

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

Calvin

Meet Calvin:
This handsome 2-year-old was saved from the brink of euthanasia at the Downey shelter — and now he’s living his second chance to the fullest.

Calvin is:
- House-trained & crate-trained
- Dog-friendly
- Smart, loving, and eager to please

He’s the perfect mix of playful and chill — he loves a good nap and being part of the family. Calvin has an easygoing nature and has worked on leash reactivity with a trainer. He would benefit from continued training and a family who is patient.

Calvin has graduated with flying colors from a one-month board-and-train program where he finessed his leash manners and is ready for his forever home. Ready to give this pup the life he deserves?

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."
