ABOUT RUDY:
Rudy is amazing. And no one seems to notice it. And thus, this poor boy has been in rescue way too long. Hear us out here...this underbite golden bachelor is worth your final rose. We'll even pay for the wedding.
Rudy is like that super awesome friend you meet but don't click with the minute you meet him (cuz let's be honest, those types can be annoying). But if you chill out and give him a minute it will be the best decision you ever made.....again, like that college friend you met at orientation but it took til the end of first semester when you ran into each other at a party, clicked over a good dance song and became inseparable for the next 40 years. Rudy won't quit you. He'll only love you every day of your life.
And that doesn't even address his most adorable underbite!
Who wants the dog that loves you IMMEDIATELY? That's boring. We all know that the best things in life are worth waiting for, worth the time and pay off in dividends. Well, that's Rudy. Trust us on this. We adore this boy for the way he loves us in his calm, deliberative way. Cuz he takes his time. And that is refreshing and adorable, we think.
Rudy is playful, outgoing, and fun to be around! His look is unique with a goofy underbite and a squishy, Pug-like face. He has a "Cheeto tooth" that is orange in color. Rudy has had his dental and the vet said that his pearly smile is quite healthy. He didn't require any dental procedures other than a cleaning. YAY for a clean dental bill of health.
Live in an apartment? No problem. Rudy is not a big barker. Live in a house? Great too. He's great on leash, loves to chill in the sun and is an all-around easygoing guy.
This heartthrob is a friendly guy and loves people, especially the ladies. He has many girlfriends at the rescue.
As Rudy is getting older he remains a rock star in play groups with dogs of his energy level. He doesn't need a hyper dog or person to spend hours a day wearing him out. He's content with moderate exercise and play. And he'll take a belly rub any day.
Come meet Rudy for yourself and see how amazing he really is!

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
