Homeward bound pet of the week: Annie Oakley
Fast & Furriest December 18, 2022
Meet Annie Oakley, a 7 month old, 35 lb. mountain feist who sports the most beautiful brindle coat. Annie was surrendered by her owner who was being deployed and could not take her. Although this young girl was confused, her enthusiasm is showing more each day. She loves to walk on a leash and would guess she’d make a good hiking partner. She is a wiggle butt from the word “Go!” Sound like your kind of girl?
Annie O is available for immediate adoption and is also available for a foster home in the Gilmer/Fannin Co. area. Information and application available on hbpr.org.
Homeward bound pet of the week: Henri
Fast & Furriest December 11, 2022
Henri was a lost boy in animal control that sadly no one came to claim. He is a terrier mix with a very soft but coarse coat. Don’t let that bit of frost on his face fool you – he is a very spunky 7 year old. He will be completely vetted in September.
Henri has a strong prey drive and walks with his nose to the ground constantly looking for something to sniff out. At this time, we are going to say no cats, please. He can pull, but at only 21#’s he is fairly easy to walk and would do well with a harness. Learn more about him at hbpr.org.
Homeward bound pet of the week: Sparkley
Fast & Furriest November 20, 2022
Do you have a place in your heart for Sparkley, the huggy hound? This gorgeous 18 month old, 35# gentle heart was rescued from a horrendous predicament along with numerous other dogs. How she maintains her loving personality and eagerness to trust is beyond imagination. Just goes to prove that dogs “live in the moment”. Sparkley doesn’t hold a grudge; only love.
Sparkley is available for an immediate adoption and is also available for a foster home in the Gilmer/Fannin Co. area. Information and application available on hbpr.org.
Homeward Bound Pet of the Week: Gordy
Fast & Furriest January 23, 2022
Meet Gordy, a 6# chi who was born in July, 2021. He was surrendered along with 2 other chi’s who were living outside. Gordy is a loving little boy, very active and playful. He is getting along well with the fosters’ 2 male dogs. Because of his size and age, we would not recommend little children. Gordy is in a foster home where he is being house trained. He loves to take leash walks and snuggling in a blanket.

Homeward Bound Pet of the Week: Micah
Fast & Furriest January 13, 2022
Meet Micah, an 8 month old, 20 lb. lab/flat coat mix. Micah has had a tough life in such a short time. He’s recently been rescued from a hoarding situation with 25+ dogs. He has had limited experience with the human touch until he got to Homeward Bound. We are socializing him with the volunteers and other dogs. He is learning to trust. Micah has never been house trained and we are working on that but it takes consistency that only a home where someone can supervise regularly. He’s catching on and connecting the dots about what to do when he’s out walking. He’s an eager student and am sure he’ll do well.

Homeward Bound Pet Of The Week: Tobias
Fast & Furriest May 16, 2021
Play ball……anyone? Someone? Tobias, Mr. Black Velvet himself, is a ball chasing, fetching, zoomies kind of guy. It doesn’t matter the size or color of the ball. It’s all a game for this almost 2 year old lab mix. He also has a gentle snuggly side and loves to go walking on a leash. Tobias is friendly to other dogs he knows. As with any dog, a meet and greet with your pet(s) would be necessary to determine compatibility.
