ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:
THE LEGEND OF STOUT: ADOPT YOUR NEW FLOPPY-EARED DOG - Tired of ordinary dogs? Allow us to introduce Stout, the floppy-eared legend, celebrated dog park socialite, and renowned deep thinker. Stout is ready to trade his foster lifestyle for a permanent gig in your loving home!
Quirk Alert: Not Your Average Canine:
Philosopher King - Stout doesn't just sit; he "sits like a tiny human." He's a very serious, inquisitive soul who will stare into your soul while pondering the great mysteries of life (like, are there more treats in the pantry?).
Retail Royalty -Stout is a professional shopper! He's fantastic on trips to the pet store, conducting himself like a polite, curious customer browsing for enrichment items. He's basically your perfect shopping buddy.
Legendary Ears -His floppy ears are famous! They guarantee a smile and ensure he's the most adorable distraction at the dog park, where he's already a celebrated social superstar.
Travel Pro - He's a curled-up car-napper! Stout is FANTASTIC in the car, instantly going to sleep. No whining, no barking, just peace. He's ready for any road trip (as long as it involves a pet store)
His One True Request: A Canine Confidante
Stout's one true mission in life is to find a home with another dog! When he first arrived, he was terrified of the great outdoors. But thanks to a confident canine companion, he has transformed into a brave, happy adventurer.
Required: Stout absolutely must go to a home with a confident, playful dog to be his co-pilot and best friend.
The Fine Print (But Still Funny)
Kids: He’s friendly, but he may gets nervous if things are too rowdy. He'd prefer a quiet audience of older children who respect his personal space.
The Crate Citadel: His crate is his safe, cozy fortress. He also loves to lounge with a canine friend.
Dinner Reservations: Stout is a foodie and prefers to dine solo. He's not interested in sharing his food—that's just rude! (Separate feeding required.)
Skills: Knows his name, "come," and has a sit that could win an award.
Stout, the floppy-eared philosopher, is ready to pack his bags and come home. Are you ready to add a gentle, hilarious, and deeply loyal pup to to your pack?

BE A FOSTER: Save a life: http://www.homewardtrails.org/foster-a-pet/dog-and-cat-foster-program.
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
