The Bond Between

"The Bond Between rescues so many dogs that would have been overlooked by other rescues, including our dog. She was an almost 7 year old breeder mama from the south when she was saved. She was a very shy and frightened border collie who probably would have been excluded for being reserved and standoffish. She hardly moved from her corner when we adopted her and was so scared of men. While she will always be timid, she has come so far and provides so much love and joy to us and guests in our home. We are so grateful The Bond Between took a chance on this little girl who now brings smiles to all she meets."

"Loved their process of adopting! They thoroughly vetted me as an adopter and really care about their animals; they go straight into foster instead of sitting in the shelter!"

"The Bond Between's approach to take in so many animals each year regardless of their medical complications makes this rescue really special. They perform complicated surgeries, do expensive tests and treatments, and whatever they need to do to save the animal. Their hospice and respite programs show their commitment to animals and the community beyond those animals who eventually help TBB to make up some of the funds through adoption fees. The vets and support system for fosters are really wonderful!"

"The Bond Between is so much more than an animal rescue. It’s all about keeping families and pets together, providing support for the community, and mostly saving lives!"

"Adopting from The Bond Between (formerly known as Secondhand Hounds) has been a life-changing experience for me. This incredible organization doesn't just rescue animals; they redefine love and compassion. They fearlessly tackle the most challenging cases, running neonatal and hospice programs with unwavering dedication. Every animal that enters their care is met with boundless affection and support. Their network of volunteers and fosters ensure that every animal receives the attention and care they deserve. They are truly a beacon of hope for animals in need."
