Homeward Bound Pets
Our Mission: Every Animal Matters
Homeward Bound Pets Humane Society is dedicated to improving the lives of cats and dogs through thoughtful adoption and community partnerships. As Oregon’s first no-kill shelter, we provide a safe, loving environment for every animal in our care, ensuring they find the right forever home.
A Legacy of Compassion
Founded in 1975 to address the urgent needs of homeless animals in Yamhill County, our organization was built on a simple yet powerful idea: that every pet deserves a second chance. Over the last five decades, our McMinnville community has come together to turn this vision into a reality, creating a sanctuary where animals are protected, respected, and cherished.
How We Care for Our Pets
We believe in quality over quantity, which is why every animal that enters our doors stays with us until they are adopted. During their stay, our team provides essential care, including veterinary check-ups, vaccinations, microchipping, and spay or neuter services. Our commitment is to the well-being and safety of every animal under our guardianship, ensuring they are healthy and happy while awaiting their new family.
Your Partner in Adoption
Adoption is a beautiful, life-changing journey, and we are here to ensure a successful match for both you and your new companion. We take the time to understand the unique qualities of every pet to help you find your perfect best friend. Because we want every transition to be smooth and sustainable, our staff is available to provide ongoing support and guidance long after you bring your pet home.
