Where do our animals come from?
by Brie Fox, Adoption Counselor
Homeward Pet rescues animals from a variety of situations. Most of our animals come in as surrenders from the community. There is a perception that dogs and cats who are surrendered are given up due to behavior problems but that is rarely the case. The leading reason? Their owners no longer have the time necessary to care adequately for their animal companion.
Other common reasons include divorce, moving and a new baby coming into the household.
In addition to local surrenders we rescue animals from other shelters who euthanize and from private rescues in Eastern Washington, where strays and unwanted litters are common. Unfortunately, we even occasionally find an animal left at our front door in the middle of the night, afraid, cold and confused.
Adopting a rescued animal is a rewarding experience. We have terrific cats and dogs who through no fault of their own have found themselves abandoned. These companions know that they're the luckiest guys around once they've been adopted and the bond that you'll experience with them is priceless.
Come in and meet our terrific animals!
You Can Make a Difference Too!
We have many kittens coming in, some of them without mothers. We could use extra supplies to help these babies get on their feet until they are strong enough to join their new adoptive families.
Supplies needed for current Kitten Season:
- kitchen food scales (to weigh kittens)
- heating pads or snuggle safe heating discs (for kittens)
- KMR powder

- kitten dry food-(nutro-max, Science diet or authority)
- baby food; chicken or turkey- no onions please
