Halfway Hounds is a volunteered based non-profit 501(c)3 organization that gives potentially adoptable dogs a new leash on life, with grooming, training, rehabilitation and temporary housing.

The organization serves the states of New Jersey and New York, with a focus on northern and central New Jersey and Rockland County, New York. Halfway Hounds assists dogs (strays or owner surrendered) who can no longer be kept at a shelter, or at a veterinary hospital by providing a foster home or temporary boarding until the dog is adopted.   Many of these dogs, particularly pets that are owner surrendered, may have behavior problems and need a little time, training and rehabilitation to prepare them for a new home.  It is necessary for many dogs to be removed from the stressful shelter environment before behavior modification and successful training can occur.

What makes Halfway Hounds unique?

The Halfway Hounds program provides dogs with a behavior assessment and the daily behavior modification and the obedience training necessary for their success.  In addition, the new pet owner(s) will receive a behavior assessment report on the dog, free or discounted obedience training and a follow-up call or visit from the trainer that worked with the dog as part of our program.
