Mission Statement
Our mission is to be a community-centered shelter that supports the human-animal bond through compassionate care, adoption, education, and advocacy. Our Vision: A community that is nurturing and compassionate towards all animals. A community where no animal suffers from abuse or neglect. A community where companion animals are treated as lifelong, valued family members.
About This Cause
Homeward Bound, Addison County’s Humane Society, is a private and independent 501(c)(3) open admission shelter dedicated to protecting the well being of homeless, abandoned and abused/neglected animals. We serve an average of 3,000 animals per year, including those who enter the shelter and those who receive services in the community. Our community services are designed to combat pet overpopulation, provide support to low-income pet owners, and enhance the human-animal bond through education and outreach. We are proud participants in the Shelter Animals Count project. Shelter Animals Count is a national campaign designed to increase accountability and transparency among animal sheltering organizations. A look at our numbers can be found here. Our annual budget to operate the animal shelter and provide these programs is just under $1M. We receive no funding from federal, state or local government and no unrestricted funding from national humane organizations. With a staff of 13, we rely heavily on volunteers to enhance the lives of the animals while they are here and to help us have wide-spread impact in the community; on average we have 180 active volunteers annually. We are extremely proud of the services that we offer and are very grateful to all of the staff, volunteers and donors who help to support Homeward Bound and allow us to make a difference in the lives of so many animals!
