About us
Saving Hounds, One Foster Home at a Time
Passion for hound dogs and the desire to save as many as possible drive everyone at Helpless Hounds. We don’t have a shelter building. Every hound lives in a foster home until adoption, thanks to an amazing network of fosters who open their hearts and their homes to our dogs.
While we’re a hound-specific rescue, we take in dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages and medical needs, and we give every one of them a fresh start.
Houndily ever after
Where Are Our Hounds Now?
Our adopted hounds live in 44 states and Canada. Read a few of their stories, and explore the map to see where they’ve landed.
