ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:
We love Sadie's wrinkly face. She's a little bit of a tomboy and loves to run.
Meet Sadie, the playful tomboy of the group. She loves a good wrestling match with her brothers, then snuggles right up when she’s ready to rest. Sadie is social, friendly, and especially loves people—she’ll follow you anywhere with her tail wagging. The perfect mix of fun and affection, Sadie will make a wonderful best friend.
She loves to sleep on her back, and enjoys playing chase!!
NOTES FROM FOSTER:
Sadie is a beautiful young lady who always looks a little worried to me with her wrinkly skin. She is a sweet girl who loves to run and is learning to calm down. She is a solid 18 pounds.

IMPORTANT:
Please make your spay/neuter appointment with us or your own vets WELL IN ADVANCE of the due date
as several factors including severe veterinarian shortage continue to impact vet appointments and
surgical procedures so please plan way ahead!
Our low-cost spay/neuter option is approximately 70% less expensive than what most vets charge.
Please do your research BEFORE selecting an adoption fee package. You will have to bring your pet
to/from the Adoption Center if you choose to do the spay/neuter through HT.
If you select the package with spay and neuter, rabies is only included if your puppy is being spayed or
neutered at 4 months old. If the procedure is done after that for any reason, rabies is not included and
would be an additional cost to you.
All adoption fees help not only to rescue the animal being adopted but generates revenue to pay for the
hundreds of sick and injured animals we take in every year.

Kathleen has a class called Puppy Dream Team, and it's for puppies from 3-8 months old at the
start date. The goal is to bridge the gap between early puppy classes and adult
manners/obedience, and to help set puppies and their families up for success in adolescence.
The class is open enrollment, so puppy "teams" can start whenever it works for them, then they
attend 5 classes in a row. They also get a private, 45-minute orientation (in-person or virtual)
before their first class. Tuition is $330.
Homeward Trails EXCLUSIVE Discounts
● For the first 3 months, I'd like to offer all adopters with eligible puppies 10% off.
● Fosters with eligible puppies can attend for free any week there's an open slot. They
don't have to attend all 5 weeks. (Since it's open enrollment, each session is designed
to be able to stand on its own.)
● Staff can attend the entire course and private orientation for free.

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
