HOW TO MEET THIS ANIMAL: Come meet me during our adoption events every Saturday and Sunday between 10am-4pm at our adoption center: 11116 Fairfax Station Rd
LOCATION: Homeward Trails Adoption Center
ADOPTION COORDINATOR: Sue B (sueb@homewardtrails.org)
ADOPTION FEE: The adoption fee for this dog: $475
ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 17 lbs full grown now
ESTIMATED AGE: 3 years old approx
KNOWN WITH DOGS: Sandy does well with other dogs.
KNOWN WITH CATS: Sandy came from a home originally with a lot of cats and met several in her first foster home, so she is likely to do well with them.
KNOWN WITH KIDS: Sandy came from a home with young kids and did great. She might do best with kids 10 years and up.
KNOWN COMMANDS: Sit, working on Touch.
KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: Sandy has been using mostly pee pads while she has nursed her pups and the temps have been so cold, but we feel confident she will do very well housetraining once her pups are weaned. She enjoys her crate at the Adoption Center and thinks of it as her safe space.
KNOWN LIKES: Playing, treats, napping, chewing, and romping in the sun.
KNOWN DISLIKES: None know so far.
ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Sandy gave birth to her two tiny pups, Nick and Nora, just before Christmas, but they are now weaned and Sandy is ready to find a family of her own. She can be a little nervous around new people, but once she gets to know you, she becomes a wiggly ball of love. She is a small girl who likes walks, tummy rubs, and the finest of chicken treats.

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
