When you donate to Homeward Bound Golden Retriever Rescue & Sanctuary, you help us provide rescue and care to hundreds of dogs in need each year. We simply cannot sustain our rescue activities without your continued support.

When you make a gift to Homeward Bound Golden Retriever Rescue, you are supporting the dogs already rescued and living in safety and your contribution lays a vital foundation for the Golden Retrievers we vow to rescue in years to come. Your contribution makes an enormous difference – providing a safe haven for Goldens finding their way home again.

Donate Appreciated Stock to Homeward Bound Golden Retriever Rescue for a truly impactful return on your investment. A gift of appreciated stock – now, or in the future – can avoid capital gains taxes that would be due as a result of its sale. Your tax benefit is generally the fair market value of the stock at the time of your gift. With gifts of appreciated stock, your stock market earnings translate into true impact for our mission of rescue – a very rewarding return on your investment and a simple way to give.

We recommend that donors consult their professional advisor before donating securities. Our president or treasurer will be happy to assist with the transaction.
