Homeward Hounds

Homeward Hounds is a collaboration between Roice-Hurst Humane Society and HomewardBound of the Grand Valley that allows houseless pet owners to sleep securely in a private room with their pets — something no other homeless shelter in the country accommodates. This first-of-its-kind collaboration ensures people don’t have to make the difficult choice between separating from their beloved pets or risking personal safety by staying out in the elements.

Thanks to funding from PetSmart Charities and the Abram and Ray Kaplan Foundation, 9 pet-friendly, climate-controlled Pallet shelters are available at HomewardBound’s North Avenue location off of the day shelter (2853 North Avenue, Grand Junction). Each 8’x8’ Pallet shelter is private, climate-controlled and located within a fenced and badge-controlled area at HomewardBound, alongside a gravel yard for dogs. The shelters are reserved specifically for individuals with pets. Additionally, Roice-Hurst maintains a stocked pet pantry with pet food and supplies at HomewardBound.
