Pets Return Home
No-Kill Dog Sanctuary, Rehabilitation, and Adoption Center
For more than 13 years, Pets Return Home has served as a lifeline for dogs facing dire circumstances—those who are lost, abandoned, behavior-challenged, and sadly considered "unadoptable." Thanks to the kindness of compassionate people like you, over 1,200 dogs now enjoy the love of caring families.
WHAT WE DO
-
We rescue the dogs with nowhere else to go — the fearful, the neglected, the abandoned, the “unadoptable.”
-
We heal trauma through structured pack living, enrichment, training, and compassionate rehabilitation.
-
We provide lifelong sanctuary for dogs who cannot safely live anywhere else.
-
We prepare adoptable dogs for families with real-world experience, confidence-building, and training.
-
We support our community with behavioral help, resources, and crisis intervention to prevent surrenders.
OUR IMPACT
Dogs
-
Dogs rediscover safety, trust, and joy — often for the first time in their lives.
-
Fearful and shut-down dogs learn confidence through pack structure and daily routine.
-
High-behavior dogs get the specialized help standard shelters cannot provide.
-
Every dog receives love, training, medical care, and a chance at a real life.
Community
-
We reduce shelter euthanasia rates by taking the dogs that others cannot.
-
We help families keep their beloved dogs through behavior support and resources.
-
We strengthen regional shelters by relieving pressure and offering expertise.
Adopters
-
Families receive dogs who are better prepared for home life, reducing returns.
-
We provide post-adoption support to help dogs stay in their homes for life.
People Surrendering Dogs
-
They receive compassion, guidance, and behavior help — not judgment.
-
In many cases, we prevent painful surrenders by helping dogs succeed at home.
