Fast & Furriest

Homeward bound pet of the week: Sierra

Sierra, a young hound mix, had a rough beginning in her short 3 ½ years on this planet.  We have promised her that her world just got a whole lot better and all that stuff will be a distant memory.  Sierra, when presented with entertainment, will choose a “stuffie” every time.  She’s also been known to carry one with her on leash walks.  By the way, she loves leash walks and shows it by walking with you and doesn’t pull.  Sierra is vetted now, with the exception of enduring heartworm treatment for the next couple months.  If you are familiar with hw treatments, she must be kept quiet to keep the heart rate low in order to prevent the nasty heartworms from spreading.  It’s a difficult task, at best, to keep stress levels down in a shelter.  If you are interested in adopting or fostering her (through her hw treatment), please submit an application on our website.

Homeward Bound Pet Rescue is located in Blue Ridge, Gilmer Co., Georgia. We are a volunteer run organization that was established in 2000 and have successfully found forever homes for thousands of unwanted cats and dogs..  We meet by appointment only.  All available pet bios on our website.  Start the adoption process by completing the questionnaire on our website:  https://hbpr.org
