Adopting
Homeward Bound takes in 6-8 golden retrievers per week. Many of these dogs come from owners who can no longer care for them. Many come from shelters, where they arrive through no fault of their own. We rescue dogs primarily from northern and central California, but are able and willing to help any golden of any age who needs us anywhere in California and beyond. When the dog comes to us it is first evaluated and taken to the vet for a checkup and to have its vaccinations brought current. If it is not already spayed or neutered, we have that done. The dog receives whatever medical care it needs. It is also tested for heartworm, so when you adopt from Homeward Bound, you can be sure your new friend is heartworm-free. Come join our golden family. Give one of these beautiful, gentle, loving dogs its forever home. Experience the joy and fun of owning the sweetest, most loyal breed around...the golden retriever.  Here's how to get the process started!

Golden Touch Program, A Senior-to-Senior Connection
A program to match our "Golden Oldies"  with retired persons and couples who are at least 60 years of age, not working, and on a limited income. 

Sadie....a precious Golden Oldie

A Poem for The Precious Golden Oldies

With still so many sunrises and sunsets yet to enjoy;
Would love to spend them with you, my tennis ball and maybe a favorite toy.
You know...someone no longer wanted me, and decided to just give me up;
Was it because I was no longer a fuzzy, yellow pup?

I'm so proud to be a precious Golden Oldie, and that fact is very true;
With so much love yet to give...can I spend my "golden" years with you?
It would be heavenly to rest my head upon your lap, with your arms enfolding me;
And once again feel safe and loved, with us just sitting under a majestic, old tree.

I've come such a long way...and my journey has been extremely hard;
Would love to just sit by your side, or peacefully roam around in the yard.
So won't you please adopt me soon, and my "new life's story" can begin to unfold;
For as we all know, there is nothing quite as nice, as precious old gold!
