We wake up every morning saying YES to connecting people and animals, caring for them, and helping them fill each other’s hearts. We believe in creating a world where the bond between people and animals is free of threats, barriers, and limits.
Founded in 2009 as Secondhand Hounds, The Bond Between has grown into a first-in-its-class animal well-being organization. Over the last 15 years, we have rescued over 35,000 animals, realizing that our relationships with pets are a vital foundation for a harmonious world.
As a foster-based organization, we rely on a dedicated community of volunteers to provide safe, loving homes while our animals prepare for their next chapter. Beyond rescue, we offer holistic support through a pet food shelf, respite foster care, and low-cost veterinary clinics to keep families and their pets together during temporary crises.
Finding your perfect match is a joyful experience, and we are here to support you every step of the way. We take pride in our thoughtful, transparent adoption process that ensures both you and your new family member are set up for lasting success. Whether you are looking for a playful pup or a cozy cat, you are choosing to change a life by providing a permanent, loving home.
