Welcome to the Homeward Bound Animal Shelter
The Homeward Bound Animal Shelter is a non-profit community-based animal shelter located in Manistee County. We are not funded by any local, state, or federal funds. All money used to maintain Homeward Bound and the animals comes from donations and fundraisers.
At Homeward Bound, no animal is euthanized because of time or space. We do not believe that putting one animal down to make room for another is right. As long as the pet is healthy, happy, and non-aggressive, they stay until their 'forever home' is found. Since opening our doors, we have taken in and found homes for approximately 1180 homeless pets.

In order to continue placing homeless animals with people who will care for them and give them a good life, we need your help. Donations of any kind, whether they are food, office supplies, or even pop bottles, will help ensure that these pets will find good homes. Donate today!
If you are unable to donate, please consider volunteering your time. Caring for these animals is a job that must be done 24-hours a day, 365 days a year and we need all the help we can get. We also hold many fundraisers throughout the year, so we need volunteers who can help us there, as well.
