HOW TO MEET THIS ANIMAL: Any dog located at Trails Home Farm or in foster require an appointment for any approved adopter to have a meet and greet.
ADOPTION FEE: $475
ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:
Meet our Farm Diva, Anabelle! This princess is a real character. She prefers it if we all work around her schedule. She loves her walks and does well on a leash, but you can't rush her. She likes to stop and smell the roses along the way. Anabelle finds it unacceptable when another dog yells at her from afar and she would rather not be friends with such rudeness.
Anabelle is originally from Puerto Rico. Her owners left the island and didn't take Anabelle with them. She has been very sweet and social with staff but after everything she has been through, new people give her the scaries. Can you blame her? She needs a slow intro to new people as she can be easily overwhelmed by those that come on too strong. Once Anabelle gets over her nerves of meeting you for the first time, she will run circles around you with intermittent breaks meant for kisses and pets. When she's in a quiet environment, she settles quickly and is very affectionate.
Anabelle has never had an accident in her kennel since being at the Farm. We never guarantee it but it's safe to say she's potty trained.
It takes Anabelle multiple intros to warm up to other dogs. Her play style can be overwhelming so she needs some direction and supervision as she tends to get over stimulated easily due to her high energy level. We will update the profile as we do more dog introductions.
KNOWN WITH DOGS: Anabelle will play with dogs but needs direction and supervision as she gets over stimulated easily.
KNOWN WITH CATS: Unsure
KNOWN WITH KIDS: Anabelle prefers when people around her go slow and give her a chance to get used to them. This may prove difficult for children. She also has a rough and tumble play style and might knock over a child on accident.
KNOWN COMMANDS: Sit and Down, working on Place
KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: Anabelle will settle into her crate given a few minutes.
KNOWN LIKES: Anabelle is food motivated and LOVES to run.
KNOWN DISLIKES: Our little diva doesn't like being rushed.

You will first be required to complete our Adoption Questionnaire (http://www.homewardtrails.org/adopt-a-pet/adoption-forms/). Once received, a Homeward Trails rep will contact you via phone or e-mail. Please allow 72 hours for a response. If it seems you are a good fit for each other based on the info you provided, a phone interview will follow. If you are renting, we require proof that you are allowed to have a pet as well as any breed or size restrictions that may exist. If you have pets or did previously, we require your vet information and we will call them to verify that your pets are in good health, current on vaccines and spayed/neutered. We require that all pets in the home be spayed/neutered unless there are health reasons that can be verified with the vet.
Homeward Trails' adoption fees range depending on type of animal, the originating shelter and the vetting the animal has received. Our adoption fees are set to allow us to cover our expenses as well as to help other animals in our program that require additional care. Our fees cover vetting costs, shelter fees, fuel for transport, copying and printing of contracts and paperwork, our website presence, food, boarding, behavioral training and additional medical care. It is important to note that while the animal you adopt may not require all of these things, many other animals in our system do. Thus, any "extra" money from adoption fees goes to help those animals who may require additional care. By adopting from Homeward Trails, you are not saving just one life, you are helping to save others as well.

More about this rescue
Homeward Trails seeks to find permanent adoptive homes in the Mid-Atlantic Region for dogs and cats from under resourced shelters or whose owners can no longer care for them. In so doing, we seek to reduce the rate of euthanasia of adoptable animals through the rescue and placement of homeless animals; to support proactive spay/neuter practices; to promote positive and ongoing behavioral training; and to educate the public about how to care for their animals in a humane way. Homeward Trails not only facilitates adoptions from local shelters, but also supports a large network of foster care providers who take homeless dogs and cats into their homes, care for them, rehabilitate them when needed, and prepare them for their permanent adoptive homes.
Sadly, without our help, all of these adoptable animals would face almost certain euthanasia - usually within days or hours of our rescuing them. Each year we take in hundreds of wonderful animals who were left at shelters through no fault of their own.
Many are puppies and kittens – innocent victims of irresponsible pet owners who don’t spay/neuter. Some are abandoned hunting dogs who served their owners well and were dumped in woods or left at shelters when they were no longer wanted. Others are house pets whose owners simply grew tired of caring for them or moved and did not take them along. And even more are animals that have been injured, abused and neglected. Whatever the reasons, these animals all deserve better. And once with Homeward Trails, they get better!
Our Principles:
1. To always operate in the best interest of the animals we take into our program and to advocate for the proper care of those in shelters and in private homes;
2. To provide quality care for the animals we take in for as long as they are in our program and to provide ongoing support to our adopters;
3. To always maintain a manageable number of animals in our system whereby we can ensure proper medical care, behavioral training and housing for the animals;
4. To rescue the widest array of dogs and cats by avoiding general discrimination based on breed, age, and health;
5. To provide our shelter partners and their communities with resources that will result in the highest level of care for their animals, an increase in spay/neuter surgeries and a decrease in the abuse, neglect and abandonment of dogs and cats;
6. To treat our volunteers, adopters and partners with understanding, patience and support
