Story
Hi!!! My name is Leah. But, my foster mom calls me Yoda because I have wonderfully independent ears! I am crate trained, house broken and walk well on the leash. I enjoy car rides and am a perfect co-pilot. I only chew on toys for aggressive chewers. I don't bother anything that isn't a toy. I love the outdoors and playing with my foster canine brother. My foster canine sister is older, and while I stay in touch with her, I give her space to snooze or whatever. I have impeccable house manners, and the best place to be is by your side. I am a little shy but love attention, and take direction well. I am very food motivated, but treats should be taken gently! I hope to meet you soon! Questions About this Animal?

Story
Meet Finnick! Finnick has been living in the shelter system since he was only 8 weeks old, but is finally in a wonderful foster home! He is a happy, friendly, intelligent boy who deserves a chance! Finnick can be shy around new people and may take some time to warm up. Finnick has really grown to like visitors in his foster home, and continues to make progress meeting new people. Treats go a long way towards making this boy your new best friend. He needs a home that will give him the time and patience to help him settle. Once settled, Finnick has shown to be pretty low energy and happy to lounge around with his people, soaking up all the attention. Finnick is crate trained, but may whine a bit as he learns a new routine. Finnick is SO smart! He knows lots of commands and tricks. The training possibilities are endless. Known cues: Get up, get down, sit, spin, roll over, lay down, paw, crate, place, wait/stay, drop it, and leave it. Good with Kids? Would be best with children over 10 as he can move quickly when excited but may possibly knock a younger child down by mistake. Good with Dogs? Finnick likes to walk with other dogs but isn’t the most confident with making dog friends so any introductions should be done slowly. Finnick can be a resource guarder, so we recommend for him to be the only dog in the home. Good with Cats? We do not currently know how Finnick is with cats. If that is needed, let us know and we'll work on getting that information! ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 55 lbs Want to hear some fun facts about Finnick? 1. He is a great listener. He will leave something alone if you tell him "no" or "leave it" 2. He loves belly rubs. 3. He loves crawling on his belly in the grass and rolling around in it. You should look at the videos on the website. 4. He walks great on a leash. 5. He enjoys the outdoors 6. He is treat motivated. 7. He knows many commands. 8. He is playful and goofy! 9. He loves playing in the water. 10. He loves car rides and will sit or lay there quietly. ___________________________________ If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out our dog adoption questionnaire and e-mail any questions to: trailshomefarm@homewardtrails.org PLEASE VISIT THIS WEBSITE TO FIND THE ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE: http://www.homewardtrails.org/adopt-a-pet/adoption-forms/ LOCATION: Foster Home in the NOVA area.

Story
Meet Athena, a sweet senior girl at almost 7 years old. She does well meeting new people and has gone on many Tails Out adventures with volunteers. She also recently met an older couple with a cane and a wheelchair and was very polite and not phased at all. She is a well-behaved and sweet older girl who is just hoping to find a home. Senior dogs like Athena don't belong in a shelter. She would love a quiet home where she can relax and enjoy her golden years. Despite her age, Athena still loves to go on walks and play. She loves water and will splash in the kiddie pools at the Trails Home Farm. Please give this senior girl the chance she deserves! BACKGROUND: Athena was abandoned with her 10 pups in Puerto Rico in the middle of a violent rain storm, she was rescued by a good Samaritan who took them inside to safety. Traveling up to Virginia in 2019, she was adopted by a family that loved her very much. Four years later, her family had a small human of their own, and Athena did not do well adjusting as they became mobile. Athena is physically healthy, though a pesky floating kneecap can sometime bother her if she's been running around a LOT. She may also have some allergies that affect her skin. KNOWN WITH DOGS: Athena does well with other dogs, as long as they do not have too much energy and respect her boundaries. She prefers to just coexist. KNOWN WITH CATS: Athena did not react well at an event with cats. KNOWN WITH KIDS: Athena would prefer to not live with kids. KNOWN CUES: Sit, down, paw, and excellent recall! KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: She is housetrained, and can be left on her own for long periods of time. KNOWN LIKES: Affection, swimming, car rides, and playtime with humans ___________________________________ If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out our dog adoption questionnaire and e-mail trailshomefarm@homewardtrails.org PLEASE VISIT THIS WEBSITE TO FIND THE ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE: http://www.homewardtrails.org/adopt-a-pet/adoption-forms/ ADOPTION COORDINATOR: Trails Home Farm LOCATION: Trails Home Farm, 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.

Daisy’s foster wrote to us about what an all around terrific little dog Daisy is. Here is what he told us: “Daisy is very lay back and a sweet girl. She is house trained and loves to cuddle, get belly rub, and give kisses. She is good with children too! She does great on the leash. She is a very low maintenance dog that just likes to hang out with her family. She understands most of the basic dog commands. She weighs around 35 pounds.” Please let us know if you would like to meet Daisy! Questions About this Animal?
