Louisa is a middle aged, mid sized mystery mutt who has been in foster for a year now. She came in with her puppies a year ago, and they all went to new adventures. Louisa is waiting her turn, and needs a special family with dog experience to find her. She is reliably house trained, crates very well for the workday, listens well and respects/responds to limits and boundaries. She enjoys the company of most dogs, although one senior female at her foster she is overly bossy with. She is good with cats. Louisa would thrive in an adult home who can manage her with men. She was previously very abused by a man, which is why she was taken away, and it takes her awhile to warm up to new guys, but she does and then loves them. However, on walks, with company coming over, etc she is not trusted with men she doesn&#039;t know. If you can manage that one part, she is otherwise very enjoyable to live with and love. She&#039;s silly and very cuddly and listens well. She would do best with a fenced yard and when she has her daily visits to the hobby farm, she is in heaven and does very well there.

Meet Mandarin. Terrible picture, and we are doing the best we can. He has since moved into an extra large dog kennel inside the house. Mandarin was a local stray who was trapped and vetted, and while we intended to vet him and put him back, he&#039;s too sweet. He is 9 months old, gets along with every cat he meets ( including cuddling baby kittens), never hisses or scratches, but is terrified of people. He hides every chance he can, and wants nothing to do with us yet. However, we were able to vaccinate and chip him, pick him up and move him, without any acting out. He is by all rights a feral cat who needs a super patient, calm, cat savvy person to welcome him into their lives. He uses the box reliably. It is going to take someone special to give him the time and patience he needs to learn people are friendly, but he&#039;s worth it. Please email kladams4545@gmail.com.

Jasmine is the sweetest, calmest, most loving fluffy kitty you will probably ever meet. She is a gentle soul, friendly and purrs all the time, and has so much calm and patience. Jasmine was surrendered to the vet when she kept getting &#039;backed up&#039; in her bowels and needed a surgery. The surgery was done, the meds plan and food were figured out, and she lives as a very normal kitty again with a mild laxative she takes daily and soft food. Her medical needs are around $30 a month, and that&#039;s less than you&#039;d pay for therapy you might not need with this sweetheart in your life. She loves to curl up on your body and purr and just so politely wants to be with you. Please email us for more information on the basic needs for her and if you&#039;d like an application.... she&#039;s worth it! Kladams4545@gmail.com.

Bowie is a Beagle with some baggage. Cute as can be, this young adult Beagle has a lot of Beagle traits (the bay, the enthusiasm for long sniffing walks, the passion for food, and wily smarts) but came to us with some serious resource guarding issues. He went through behavior rehab and is doing wonderfully, but without an experienced dog owner will revert back. He used to guard food, items he thought were his, and his sleeping space, and would react with a bite. At this point, in foster care, he allows us to handle him all over, take food and treats away, and move him. He needs an experienced owner to continue boundaries, training, and kind firmness. We adore him, we have no issues right now (except with cats, he hates cats). Bowie is house trained, crated when alone, loves walks, would do best with a fenced outside area, and we are highly recommending continued training classes. Please email kladams4545@gmail.com if you can give Charlie a great home. You can get a head start on the process by filling out the application above.

Looking for a family companion? Sweet Duke is a young adult male Lab/Retriever/Border Collie mix ( best guess), about 50 pounds. While he still has the puppy playful side, he is overall a calm dog in general, and he loves being with kids and other dogs.

Are you looking for a cat who is positive he is a dog, trapped in a cat&#039;s body? Dopey and fearless and wants attention ALL the time? Opie is an adult neutered male kitty seeking a home with someone who wants a cat to shower with love. He is ready for pets all the time, loves kids and dogs and cats, uses the box.

Persy ( short for Perserverance) is a super special kitten. Born with back legs that were curled under in utero, she had to work so hard to strengthen those legs, along with having us stretch them and do extra mobility. We have videos of her progress. In spite of us causing her discomfort, she is the most joyful kitten. You can barely tell she had underdeveloped legs at this point. She was the first to run ( stumble) to the door to greet us, the first to show her belly for pets, the one most likely to flop like a rag doll in our arms for some love. Persy loves other kittens, and we&#039;d like her adopted with a sibling or a home with a playful young cat. She is used to dogs as well. She is an extra special little kitten with her tenacity, her heart, and her silly side. Her adoption fee of $250 plus tax covers spay, shots, worming and chip.

Meet Theo and Teddy

It took a while, and Theo needs time to adjust to new people but loves to have his head scratched and rub against his foster&#039;s legs.
Theo is estimated to be 3-4 years old.
He is neutered. He has shared space in a home with numerous other cats and has loved every one of them. He is a beautiful white and black cat who deserves a forever home.
Teddy was caught in Jan of 2024 at the same time as Theo. We don&#039;t really know how he became a stray and he is still cautious of people. Teddy is a great tabby color, he has a shorter tail (unsure of when that happened). Teddy is pretty bonded to Theo and it would be great of these 2 were adopted together. Teddy is estimated to be 4 years old and is neutered.
He has lived the past year with other cats and been great with them.
Anyone looking for a sweet bonded pair of beautiful cats and has the patience to let them acclimate slowly, please consider these deserving boys, and email kladams4545@gmail.com

Meet Reba!  Reba is a rescue who came up from down south. She is a large female lab mix, with a beautiful white apron and front legs. She is about 5 months old, 50-60 pounds and will be a big girl when grown. Possibly mixed with Great White Pyrenees? Some brindle in her coat. Maybe Great Dane? Border Collie?
Whatever her DNA, Reba is smart, sweet-natured, and calm. She is a loyal velcro dog who wants to be by your side at all times. Rarely / never barks unless someone is outside (guard dog instincts in the house). She is working on her leash skills, but will walk (heel) right next to you with a leash dragging. 
Reba does not seem to need a lot of exercise and does well with 2-3 short walks a day. She loves to rest and sleep on her bed,loves hanging out on a restaurant patio. She naps a lot, and would be a couch potato if you had a couch big enough for her! Reba is almost potty trained with a schedule and is crate trained. She is pretty much past the puppy chewing stage, with chew toys available and crated when alone. As a puppy, she will need ongoing training.
She is curious and friendly but timid around other dogs - especially if they play rough.

With people, on the other hand, she is very friendly and loving right from the first second, including kids. Please do the application at https://www.homewardboundrescue.com/preadopt

Please read entire bio. 

Requirements: physically fenced yard (no exceptions), another active dog, herding breed experience. 

Are you an active family looking for a high energy pup to keep up with your lifestyle? Maybe a dog with agility, obedience, or scent work potential? Then look no further. Diesel is a young Border Collie/Sheltie/Australian Shepherd mix (best guess) who is searching for a family who is willing to help him reach his full potential. We expect Diesel to mature to around 30lbs based on his current size. He is food/toy/treat motivated and is eager to learn. He has a relatively high drive when it comes to play, and could play fetch for hours if he could, and always has a toy in his mouth. He is always on the go, and always looking for his next adventure. Diesel needs a home who is specifically looking for an active, high energy dog to train and someone who understands and has previous experience with everything a high energy herding breed comes with (mental and physical stimulation are very important). Diesel is housebroken and crate trained on a schedule, and is fostered with other dogs, cats, and kids and loves everyone. He is a little nervous meeting new people when in new situations, but once he feels comfortable, he is ready to rock. Diesel does need a home with a physically fenced in yard, he is not the kind of dog who would do well on a tie out/leashed, and he is a runner if he gets loose. A secure fence is important, as he will escape if possible. Another young, energetic dog in the home, as he spends a majority of his time actively playing and wrestling with the other dogs in his foster home. Diesel would do best in a busy home and he thrives being on the go, always. Someone who is up for a training a high energy dog and has experience doing so. He also loves to swim.
