A support system looks different for everyone. For some, it’s a close-knit family. For others, it’s their beloved canine.

Discovering Pallet, HomewardBound of the Grand Valley (HBGV) decided to build a private, secure village for unhoused pet owners. In just a few hours, a 10-shelter community was put up where people could live their pet companions, while still accessing meals, showers, and services.

Animals often are major anchors to feelings of hope, purpose, and stability.
