Story
If you are interested in Bria, please contact masonhong21@gmail.com Bria is proof that age is just a number. This loving 12 year old girl is the perfect companion, at home or wherever your days take you! Bria is the definition of a loyal friend. There is nothing in the world she loves more than to spend her days by your side. She will be there for you to celebrate your happy moments or shower you with affection on the not so good ones. Bria is super friendly, loves people, and is quick to make friends. Bria is a wonderful working from home buddy. Gentle and calm, she has impeccable house manners and is great in the car. She is always ready to jump in on an adventure with you - she's got plenty of energy for a good walk - or is happy just cuddling on the sofa. Her foster says she's so well behaved that he just takes her everywhere with him. Bria mostly enjoys lounging around the house doing nothing - relatable! She has done great in apartments but she wouldn't mind having her own yard. She would do best in a quiet home with older kids or adults. Bria is a people's dog and would be happier as your one and only pet. All she really wants is a family to love and call her own. This sweet and gentle soul has so much love and devotion to give, and would make her future family very happy!

Hi! My name is Jack. I am a really adorable boy doodle, and I am just looking for my furever home! I am 12 weeks old (born around 1/7/24), weigh about 12 pounds, and I love dogs, cats and kids. I am doing so well with all of them in my foster home in South Carolina! I am neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, dewormed, current with all vaccines (as appropriate for my age) and on flea and heartworm prevention. I am all ready to be adopted :) My adoption fee is $650, and covers all of my vetting, and includes transport within the next two weeks, if my new family lives in the northeast USA. ***PLEASE DO NOT FILL OUT AN ADOPTION APPLICATION IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO ADOPT WITHIN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS**** Please visit https://www.apply.daybeforetherainbow.com/ to fill out an adoption application form or email my rescue at taryn@daybeforetherainbow.com!

My name is Milo Magoo and I am a 3 year old Golden Doodle with a birthday that is coming in the next few days… to turn 3 yrs. old.  I weigh 80 pounds and I am looking for an attentive and dog training family that will really shape and polish me to be the spectacular dog that I have the potential to be.  My current family really has no time to work with me to shape me in to a dog with great manners and emotional control.   I am bored in this home and I need physical and mental stimulation and fun challenges to do.  I am very happy, sweet, and very active with running and playing.  I am a male that is ALL BOY and if I had my wish I would say to adopt me if you have a girl dog in the family.   I would love to have a girlfriend for life!  When I am bored my favorite, yet dangerous, thing to do is eat socks.  So please watch that if you take me home.  It is totally out of boredom.   Critter Cavalry Rescue is tryng to change all this by placing me in the right home that they will review closely.   I am a silver tawny coloring and people just ohhhhh and ahhhhh over the color of my coat of  hair.  If you would like to adopt me please email right away at ccrnewengland@gmail.com Mention in the email where you live!!!   That helps so much too.  PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.April 23, 2024, 4:30 pm

Mighty Moses is a handsome golden colored two-year-old, 59 pound, Golden Doodle that is all about boy love.  We tried to post him before Valentine so that a family could gift themselves with the truest love of all...the love of a dog.  But busy times in rescue got in the way and we are hoping that the February month is all about the love of adopting a rescued dog.  Mighty Moses enjoys walks, car rides and snuggled close for cuddling by your side.  He gets along well with other animals both big and small which is a total PLUS.  He is housetrained, neutered and up-to-date on all vaccinations, microchip and on heartworm prevention with a negative heartworm test.  Don't let this handsome, young Golden Doodle slip by!  Email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com  asap.  He's ready to go! PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.April 23, 2024, 4:30 pm

Story
We thank Northside Veterinary Clinic in Arlington for their generous sponsorship of Snoop Dog which means his adoption fee is WAIVED!! You can learn more about them at http://www.northsidevetclinic.com/index.html If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out our dog adoption questionnaire and e-mail any questions to: Jamie, nereid_parson.02@icloud.com PLEASE VISIT THIS WEBSITE TO FIND THE ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE: http://www.homewardtrails.org/adopt-a-pet/adoption-forms/ LOCATION: Trails Home Farm, 2581 Winchester Rd, Delaplane, VA HOW TO MEET THIS ANIMAL: Any dog at the Trails Home Farm or in foster require an appointment for any approved adopter to have a meet and greet. ADOPTION FEE: WAIVED! Meet Snoop Dog!! Snoop Dog has an amazing connection to people. He loves to be loved on but the poor thing is so insecure and feels you may take his food away from him so he truly doesn't want to be bothered while he eats. He suffers from resource guarding and the new adopter will need to continue training to help and provide patience and understanding while he deems something as his. Snoop Dog is SO smart and knows some really cool commands, like paw, speak, heal, and stay. He aims to please! He has not had a single accident in his kennel so he may be potty trained....BONUS! Poor Snoop suffered from separation anxiety in his previous foster home so he comes with a specific crate when he is adopted. Snoop will need someone to help him continue to improve with this. Due to his separation anxiety, Snoop is not suited for an apartment home. Snoop Dog is currently on a fish-based diet to help with some allergies. Snoop Dog may have some flaws but this should never prevent a dog from finding the perfect match. We know the right person is out there for him to take him out of the chaos of the shelter environment. Come meet Snoop and see for yourself how much love he has to offer. KNOWN WITH DOGS: Snoop Dog is dog selective and prefers to meet other dogs slowly on a walk before he's ready to engage in play. This may take some time. He likes to roughhouse when playing. Not dog park material. KNOWN WITH CATS: unknown KNOWN WITH KIDS: Snoop Dog would do best in an adult only home. KNOWN COMMANDS: Sit, down, paw, speak, heal, stay KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING &/OR CRATING: Snoop Dog has some separation anxiety that he struggles with but has been managed well with Trazadone, as needed. KNOWN LIKES: People and attention KNOWN DISLIKES: Kennel life. Others around while he is eating things. Snoop Dog has become a little depressed since being in the shelter. He is more than ready to find a home! We again thank Northside Veterinary Clinic in Arlington for their generous sponsorship of Snoop Dog which means his adoption fee is WAIVED!! HT ADOPTION INCLUSIONS: Spay/Neuter First 3 distemper series vaccines & de-wormings Microchip - lifetime with no registration fees Current on heartworm preventative Current on flea/tick preventative EXCLUSIVE ADOPTER BENEFITS: Free first exam with: Caring Hands Animal Hospital, Palisades Veterinary Clinic, Jermantown Animal Hospital and Clarendon Animal Care and all VCA Animal Hospitals (VCA offers $250 coverage - details provided) Free online workshop with a professional dog trainer at Fur-Get Me Not within the first 30 days of adopting (in DC/Arlington/Alexandria only) A portion of EVERY ADOPTION fee supports spay/neuter for animals in under-resourced communities BE A FOSTER: Save a life: http://www.homewardtrails.org/foster-a-pet/dog-and-cat-foster-program.

This fee INCLUDES spay/neuter and microchip. **Ask me about our many adoption benefits that include free exams, pet insurance, training and other discounts! ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 45 lbs KNOWN WITH DOGS: Grace does well with other dogs. She plays with other dogs at the Homeward Trails Adoption Center and is considered a hard player who would do best (if there is another dog in the home) with someone who is active but confident about asserting their boundaries. KNOWN WITH CATS: We do not currently know how Grace is with cats. If that is needed, let us know and we'll work on getting that information! KNOWN WITH KIDS: We don't know how Grace is with kids. KNOWN COMMANDS: We are not positive that Grace has really mastered any tricks yet. We think because she is so active, that she would do well with training in a quiet environment with little distraction. KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING &/OR CRATING: Grace is housebroken to our knowledge. KNOWN LIKES: People, treats and affection. KNOWN DISLIKES: Loud noises. ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Meet Grace, the spirited pup with a heart full of love and a zest for life that's sure to bring joy to any home. With an estimated weight of 45 lbs, Grace may be compact in size, but she's bursting with energy and affection. In the realm of canine companionship, Grace is a social butterfly, thriving in the company of other dogs at the Homeward Trails Adoption Center. However, her exuberant play style may require an owner who is active and confident in setting boundaries. With the right guidance, Grace is sure to make a wonderful playmate for a furry friend. While her interactions with cats and children are currently unknown, Grace's friendly demeanor and love for people suggest that she may adapt well to both with proper introductions and guidance. Although her command repertoire may be limited, Grace's boundless energy and eagerness to learn make her a prime candidate for training in a quiet environment with minimal distractions. With patience and consistency, she's sure to master new tricks in no time. In terms of housebreaking, Grace is believed to be housebroken, making her a low-maintenance companion for any household. Additionally, she settles nicely in her crate, providing a safe space for her to relax and unwind. Grace's list of likes is simple yet heartwarming - she thrives on the love and affection of her human companions, along with tasty treats to reward her good behavior. However, she does have a dislike for loud noises, so a calm and peaceful environment would suit her best. Despite her past challenges, including sensitivity at the vet and making a mess at home, Grace is ready to turn over a new leaf and find a loving forever family who can provide her with plenty of exercise, enrichment, and, most importantly, unconditional love. If you're seeking a loyal and energetic companion to join your home, look no further than Grace - she's waiting to steal your heart and become your steadfast furry friend for life.
