Please note that this page will be closed as of April 30th 2020.. As most of our followers know we will be closing our doors as of April 30th at 12 noon. The staff would like to thank all of our supporters, adopters, volunteers over these wonderful 10 years. We have enjoyed serving HRM, we loved seeing the reuniting of pet owners with their lost dog or cat that has come into our care. It has been a joy to adopt all the animals from the birds to the dogs to their new homes. We will miss you all. Shanda, Chris, Allison, Hannah, Samantha, Melissa, Hope, and Dr. Minty

Dear Friends:
It is with great sadness we need to announce that our doors will be closing as of April 30th.
All of us at Homeward Bound City Pound have loved serving HRM for the last 10 years. Each and every day has been a pleasure caring for, reuniting, or adopting out, all the dogs running at large in HRM. We want to thank the public for all your support and wonderful memories that has made our mission so joyful. Thank you to our volunteers and the community that helped enrich the animal's lives during their stay with us. Your help was so appreciated.
We would like to congratulate the SPCA who have been granted the contract for the next 5 years.
Sincerely,
from all the staff:
Shanda, Hope, Chris, Allison, Samantha, Hannah, Melissa, Dr. Minty, Derek and Raelee
Just a note that we will still be adopting out dogs and cats til April 30th. Please check our website citypound.ca

We have received a number of requests recently surrounding fostering and volunteering, particularly in light of COVID-19.

We wanted to assure all of our followers that we are a fully staffed, contracted shelter that does not rely on volunteer power to operate. While we greatly appreciate all of our volunteers and the work they do, we are keeping foot traffic to a minimum to keep our staff healthy, and thus do not need any volunteers at the moment. Since we are fully staffed, we do not require foster homes for any of our animals at any time.

If we all do our part and practice social distancing, we will be back to accepting volunteers before you know it! Stay safe everyone!

Thanks,
Staff of HBCP

Good afternoon everyone,

Due to the recent events surrounding COVID-19, we will be limiting access to Homeward Bound City Pound for our staff's health and safety. We will remain open for our regular hours (8am-8pm) to service you for license purchases & renewals, dog redemptions, and wildlife drop-offs. We are asking that no volunteers or students assist us at this time. However, if you have any questions regarding our services or our animals up for adoption, please phone (902) 407-7283 and press 1. Our website is always up to date with our adoptable animals and moving forward, we will set up appointments for meet and greets.

Thank you for your understanding,
Staff of HBCP

Yeti is feelin' lucky! We'd like to give a special shout-out to Sky's Pet Grooming for taking on the task of cleaning up some very messy tangles on this adorable abominable (snow)man. He sure feels like a new pup in his soft peach fuzz, complete with a cheeky heart! 💚

To learn more about Yeti and his adoption requirements, please visit our website at www.citypound.ca.
