Our mission
Giving them the chance they deserve
Homeward Hound is a small non-profit organisation helping dogs and cats in Romania and North Macedonia find suitable homes across England, Scotland and Wales.
Many of the animals we help have known life on the streets or in public shelters. With the right match, they get the chance to start again — somewhere safe, with people of their own.

Finding the right home matters
Homeward Hound carefully considers whether an animal and adopter are a suitable match — for the animal's sake, and yours.
Careful matching
The team considers the household, lifestyle and individual animal's needs.
Home checks
Potential homes are assessed as part of the application process.
Honest information
Known temperament, compatibility and medical information is shared with potential adopters.
Preparing for rescue life
Rescue dogs may need time to decompress and adjust to unfamiliar surroundings and routines.

Cats need homes too.
Homeward Hound also helps cats looking for safe, loving homes. Cat profiles will appear here when available. In the meantime, visit our Cats page or follow the rescue on Facebook for updates.
