Homes Fur Hounds

Homes Fur Hounds is a non-profit registered 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization. We are a small non-profit and rely solely on donations and community support. We are all volunteers who have dedicated our lives to rescuing and saving homeless, unwanted, abandoned, neglected, and abused small dogs. 100% of our donations go to help the animals. We save most of our animals from kill shelters around the state, but also accept owner surrenders and stray surrenders. Unlike many small rescue groups, we are willing to take in heartworm positive dogs, seniors, blind and deaf dogs, pregnant moms, and dogs with known medical issues such as diabetes.  

 We do not have a shelter facility and operate solely out of foster homes. This ensures that all of our dogs learn the skills they need to be successful family members when they move to their forever homes.

We spay/neuter, vaccinate, medically examine, microchip, and evaluate and/or socialize all dogs that come into our rescue before adopting them to pre-screened homes. To date, we have placed over 1,300 dogs in loving homes. 

Our goal is simple: to find great, lifelong, loving homes for as many small dogs as possible.

Sometimes things work out just as they’re meant to.

Hope was a 13‑year‑old dog who had spent her entire life outside before being surrendered. We were thrilled when she was adopted, but a month later, she was returned after her adopter suffered a serious fall and could no longer care for her. The same week Hope came back, we lost two senior beagles, Bunny and Sophia, to surgical complications. When we contacted the family waiting for Sophia to share the sad news, we realized they had originally applied for Hope. With Hope newly available, they were eager to meet her—and it was the perfect match. Hope now lives happily indoors as a beloved family companion. It was the happy ending we all needed. 

Because of days like today and our amazing fosters, we were able to make this match happen!

Meet Ginger and Pumpkin. These senior Shih Tzu sisters came to us after their family was no longer able to care for them. When they arrived, they both had terrible skin and ear infections. We also learned that Pumpkin was losing her sight. Earlier this year, Pumpkin completely lost her vision, but that didn't slow her down one bit. These bonded sisters have had great care and spent a lot of time healing - only possible because of days like today. They are sweet gals looking for the right family that understands their needs. 

Meet Auntie Em! A Shepherd mix isn't the typical dog we usually take in, but her story is special. Abandoned, heartworm positive, pregnant, and left in a cold shelter, Auntie Em needed urgent help. Thankfully, one of our fosters stepped up to care for her. Em gave birth to four beautiful puppies, all of whom are thriving in their new homes. She also completed her heartworm treatment. Em has been with us for four years, making her our longest foster. She's a wonderful dog with a lot of potential, but she needs to be the only pet in her future home. We are fully committed to every dog we rescue, and thanks to generous donations from days like today, we can keep her happy and healthy until her perfect family comes along.

Say Hi to The Flower Girls! Mama Iris and her pups, Rose and Peony, came to us from a backyard/hoarding situation when the pups were just a week old. Iris has been with us for a few weeks now and is a great mama. She and the puppies are thriving. It is only because of generous donations, on days like today, that we are able to care for this little Chiweenie/Terrier family. They will all be available for adoption soon. Iris is about 6 years old and 15 lbs. She is described as "exceptional" by her foster mom. The puppies are currently 3lbs of adorable puppy-ness! 

We all hope for happy endings, but sometimes they aren’t possible—and that won’t stop us from trying. Bunny and Sophia were senior beagles used for breeding and abandoned once they were no longer useful. We took them in so they wouldn’t spend their final days in a shelter, determined to give them love and care. Both had severe hernias and were far too weak for immediate surgery, so our fosters lovingly nursed them back to strength. After a fundraiser covered their medical costs, they underwent surgery—but their bodies had endured too much. They passed just days apart from complications. Losing them was heartbreaking, but days like today and generous donations from our community will help us keep fighting for dogs like these, giving them dignity, love, and kindness, no matter how long they have.

Our rescue runs solely through donations.
Every single dollar helps!
We are so grateful.
