Story
Meet Bella! Bella is a four-year-old Standard Goldendoodle who is affectionate, playful, smart, and full of personality. She loves people and wants to be part of everything her family does. Her favorite activity is fetch, especially with squeaky balls and frisbees, and she has an impressive three-foot vertical leap! After playing, she is happy to curl up beside her person for some serious cuddles. Bella is energetic and thrives on outdoor play, training, tricks, tug, and puzzle toys. She learns quickly, enjoys showing off what she knows, and has a hilarious habit of using her nose to point out exactly what she wants. Bella is house-trained, crate-trained, and can comfortably stay home alone during a normal workday. She has had extensive professional training and knows basic obedience and many tricks. Her ideal home: Bella needs to be the only dog. She has a history of serious conflict with another dog and is reactive toward unfamiliar dogs, so her family must be committed to an only-dog home. A securely fenced yard would be ideal so she can get plenty of fetch and outdoor exercise without relying on busy dog-filled walks. Bella loves people, including visitors and children she meets. She has also lived successfully with cats, although any future cat should be comfortable around dogs and introductions should be carefully managed. Bella's dog reactivity is manageable with distance, visual barriers, and the strategies her family will be provided. She may bark or become highly alert when she sees other dogs through windows, from the car, or while on leash. Health: Bella is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and on routine preventatives. She has food and environmental allergies, IBD, and respiratory allergies that are well managed with a consistent routine. She requires a strict hydrolyzed-protein diet, a twice-daily inhaler, and ongoing allergy/GI care. She is also prone to ear infections. Complete veterinary records and care instructions will be provided, and her active Trupanion policy may be transferable. Bella is a wonderful, loving, active dog who needs the right environment and a family willing to understand and support her needs. In return, she has an enormous amount of love, enthusiasm, and personality to give. HART Homepage: https://hart90.org/ Questions About this Animal?

Story
Meet Flossy Flossy is adorable. She is also a project. And we mean that in the most loving way possible. Flossy spent her life as a breeder dog and never learned that people could be safe or wonderful. She arrived terrified, running circles, growling, and wanting nothing to do with humans. A year later, she is still very much a work in transformation, but she has made progress that once seemed almost impossible. Flossy is not a turnkey dog. She will not arrive and be comfortable in a week or two. Her adopter needs patience, understanding, and a willingness to let her set the pace. She may never be a dog who runs to greet you, curls up in your lap, or wants to go everywhere with you. Her version of trust may always look different. She is terrified outside her comfort zone. Leaving the yard is overwhelming, and attempts at outings have left her frozen. She needs a very secure fenced yard and a home where adventures can happen at home.Flossy thrives on routine and predictability. She knows her schedule and expects meals on time. She may bark if you make eye contact or dinner is late, and she can have accidents when her routine is disrupted or she is startled. She also will not enter or leave the house if a person is standing in the doorway. These are not quirks that will disappear overnight. They are part of understanding Flossy. She is not currently a good canine playmate and doesn't feel comfortable when dogs get too close. She needs respectful companions who give her plenty of space. A calm dog may eventually be possible, but careful management and introductions will be essential. And then there are the tiny miracles. After a year with her foster family, Flossy has recently allowed herself to be picked up and petted. She accepts affection while elevated on a bed, loves being groomed, and sleeps like a dream in a human bed.Then one day, she joyfully bounded to the end of the yard to greet her foster dad as he drove down the driveway.After a year, her foster family finally saw joy.Flossy is still a complicated little dog, and her adopter must be prepared for a long-term project rather than a quick transformation. But she is also incredibly cute, wonderfully funny, and finally beginning to understand that life can be good. She needs a quiet, adult-only home with a secure fenced yard and someone who genuinely finds fulfillment in helping a fearful dog discover her own version of happiness. She seems to prefer men, so a male adopter may be especially appealing to her. Flossy may never throw herself into your arms. But if you have the patience to celebrate the little things, she might someday let you pick her up, accept a few pets, or bounce across the yard to greet you. For Flossy, those aren't little things at all.

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Current Location: Vienna, VA Buck is a handsome 4-year-old Golden Retriever Poodle mix with a gorgeous golden coat, a strapping 60-pound build, and a whole lot of enthusiasm for life! Buck is curious about the world around him, especially when he spots a deer, bird, or squirrel. He may try to pull toward them, but he can be redirected and continue his walk. He is still working on his leash manners and learning to walk on the left with a loose leash. He is making progress and will benefit from continued practice and positive reinforcement. Buck is also a big fan of food, which comes in handy for training. He is working on “sit” and occasionally demonstrates what we like to call selective hearing. His hearing seems to improve dramatically when there is a treat in hand or a food bowl nearby! He can get very excited when it is time to come out of his crate or go for a walk. He may jump, pace, and work himself up before settling into the activity. With consistency and patience, he is learning to manage that excitement. Buck is a good eater, sleeps through the night in his crate, and is quiet and comfortable while crated. He is generally a quiet boy and has only barked back at a particularly chatty Miniature Pinscher. Best of all, Buck enjoys other dogs and would love having a canine companion. He is already neutered and ready to find a family who will appreciate his big heart, handsome looks, and enthusiastic personality. Buck is a wonderful combination of sweet, curious, energetic, and goofy. He is still polishing his manners, but he is a very good boy who is ready to keep learning with a family of his own.

Story
-ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 25 lbs -ESTIMATED AGE: 3 years old -KNOWN WITH DOGS: Ash is doing really well with the other dogs in his foster home! We really feels comfortable with them even though they are quite larger than him. He looks to them for cues on how to behave, where to go, and when it is safe to relax. For that reason his ideal home would include at least one friendly, confident dog who can continue to show him that the world is not as frightening as he once believed -KNOWN WITH CATS: Ash is also living with cats in his foster home. He has proven himself to be great with cats, coexisting peacefully and showing no prey drive or inappropriate interest -KNOWN WITH KIDS: Ash is living with a younger child in the home. They are getting along with proper coaching from the parents and overall has the potential to be a Velcro dog. He is not there yet with everyone, and new people will still be viewed with caution, but he has proven that with patience and consistency he can and will bond deeply. -KNOWN CUES: -KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: Since the start Ash has shown A++ skills with his house training and no accidents in the home. -KNOWN LIKES: He seems to appreciate a calm, predictable routine and a quiet environment where he can decompress. He is not food motivated in the way some dogs are, and he will not perform tricks for treats, but he eats his meals reliably and maintains a healthy appetite. -KNOWN DISLIKES: He does not know what a leash is at this point and has not been leash trained, so walks are not part of his current routine. A securely fenced yard is therefore essential, because his flight instinct is still strong when he is startled and he would bolt if given the chance in an unfenced area. Notes from the foster: Ash is a small to medium adult dog who started out very scared of people. He came to his foster home labeled a flight risk and spent his first night in a travel crate for safety. He was happy to meet the resident dogs right away but wanted nothing to do with humans at first. He had to be carried to the yard, avoids stairs, and would bolt if a fence wasn’t secure. Even on day one, though, he was fully potty trained, slept quietly through the night, and ate all his meals without accidents in the house. In just three days, Ash has made huge progress. He no longer needs the crate and now sleeps on a dog bed next to his foster dog siblings. The couch has become his safe spot, but he’s started exploring, wagging his tail when he sees his people, and even seeking out his foster mom for affection. He’s been left home alone and was perfectly well-behaved. He’s great with both cats and dogs, and has tried to play with his dog friends. He still doesn’t know what a leash is and isn’t food motivated, but he’s learning that people can be kind. Ash will do best in a calm home with a secure fenced yard, a patient adopter, and at least one confident dog to help show him the ropes. He needs someone who will let him warm up at his own pace — he’s not the type to run up to strangers, but he bonds deeply once he trusts you. His teeth will need dental care soon, so that’s something to plan for. If you’re willing to give him time, you’ll get to watch a fearful dog turn into a loyal, Velcro companion who searches you out for love. Interested in being Ash’s safe landing? He’s ready for a family who understands that trust is earned — and worth it.

PLEASE VISIT THIS WEBSITE TO FIND THE ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE: http://www.homewardtrails.org/adopt-a-pet/adoption-forms/ HOW TO MEET THIS ANIMAL: Fill out the application and we will follow up with you! We will connect you to his foster! LOCATION: Foster home ADOPTION COORDINATOR: Sue B (sueb@homewardtrails.org) ADOPTION FEE: $615 ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 16 lbs ESTIMATED AGE: 6 yrs KNOWN WITH DOGS: Pooh is fine with other dogs but likes to be a bit barky at them while walking. But he has met other dogs and done fine with them. KNOWN WITH CATS: Pooh is fostered with cats and likes to chase them so he will need a home without kitties KNOWN WITH KIDS: Pooh has not spent time with kids while with HT. We were told by the shelter he came from that he had a history of being snappy when stressed. That is not something we have seen, but out of caution, we are looking for a home for Pooh with adults or kids older than 13 yrs for safety. KNOWN COMMANDS: Pooh knows how to sit and we are learning about his other skills! KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: Pooh is crate trained and appears to be housebroken during his short time with us. KNOWN LIKES: Walks, treats, naps. KNOWN DISLIKES: He does not like too much chaos (who does)?? ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Pooh came to us from a full shelter that really stressed him out. He was said to be snappy when stressed, although we have not seen this. He is good on leash, loves to sniff, is doing great on housebreaking and crating in his foster home and would love a calmer home with adults or kids over 13 to call his own. He rides well in a car and is overall a friendly adorable boy.
