Homeward Bound Rescue’s Canine Carnival

Join us at our 6th Annual Canine Carnival, the only event in Durham that provides family fun for everyone, even the dogs! Do you think your pup may appreciate a good dip in the doggy splash zone or a more substantial dock dive? Maybe a quick run around the agility ring is in order but, if a leisurely stroll around the vendor market is what you’re furry family member prefers, we’ve got you covered.

For the family members of the human variety, visit the Kidz Carnival Corner, grab some lunch and participate in the onsite raffle, including some amazing prizes!

Visit our Facebook page or stay tuned here for updates coming soon!

Volunteer Appreciation Celebration!

At HBR, we truly appreciate our amazing volunteers! Without you, we could not save as many dogs as we do!

We had a terrific time celebrating on a Mexican Fiesta Theme…

Pictured above, (L to R) Lorelei Downes, Shannon Long, Jana Osbourne, and Tammy Harper at the Homeward Bound Art Auction.

Shannon Long escorts HBR Alum ‘Sophie’ and brother ‘Louis’ to the runway for their modelling debut at the First HBR Canine Carnival.

Darren Locke, Lorelei Downes and Tara Colby walked with Lola, Callaway

and HBR’s Delcie in the Courtice Santa Claus Parade.

“Who rescued who?” we often ask….

Below, Homeward Bound Rescue alum ‘Archie’ is picture with his

foster/adoptive mom Michelle Courchaine Jones.  Happy tails Archie!

Whether you choose to volunteer, attend, or help out behind the scenes, HBR needs you. Bring your energy, positive attitude, and of course, your love for flat faced dogs.

Homeward Bound Rescue needs YOU!

About HBR

HBR is a volunteer-run, small scale dog rescue group located in Ontario, Canada. We are non-profit, and foster home based, meaning we have no kennel facilities where our dogs are kept. Each rescue dog lives temporarily in a volunteer's home until their Forever Home is found.

Make A Donation

HBR relies solely on public donations, 100% of which goes directly towards the dogs in our care.
