Story
Coco (now Roxy) is a sweet and playful one-year-old shepherd mix who loves to show affection with gentle head butts and can’t resist her squeaky toys. She’s a smart girl who’s already learning to stay on her bed and picks up new things quickly. Roxy enjoys running and playing, so she would do best in a home with a fenced yard and plenty of space to explore. She gets along well with other dogs and has a friendly, loving personality with people. If you’re looking for a loyal and intelligent companion who’s ready to learn and love, Roxy might be the perfect match!

Story
Meet Harley! 🐾 Harley’s journey began at the shelter, where he arrived frightened and unsure of the world around him, clinging closely to his sister, Coco. His eyes were wide with worry, and every new sound made him flinch. But with patience, love, and the comforting presence of Coco, Harley has come such a long way. 🌟 Today, Harley is a completely different boy! He’s blossomed into a sweet and gentle soul who craves affection and enjoys the simple joys of life—like belly rubs, cozy blankets, and sunbathing by the window. His timid days are behind him, and he’s grown into a confident and very nice boy who knows how to trust again. ❤️ Not only is Harley house-trained, but he’s also made peace with the resident cats, proving just how far he’s come. He’s respectful and calm, happy to coexist without any fuss. 🐱🤍 But what Harley wants more than anything is to stay with his sister, Coco. Their bond is unbreakable, built on shared experiences and the comfort they bring each other. Finding a home that welcomes them both would make Harley's dreams come true. 🏡💞 If you have room in your heart and home for two loving souls, Harley and Coco would fill your days with double the love and gratitude. 🥰

Story
River is a wonderful, loyal, and sweet guy! Thanks to his dedicated foster's love and patience, his confidence has grown immensely, and he still has room to grow. River approaches new situations with tentative interest. River is two-years old and 75 pounds of soft, fluffy love. He and his foster have been working on walking on leash as River prefers to run around the yard. For this reason, River's forever home must have a fenced-in yard, and it will be important to continue the leash training and exposure to new situations. This is the best way to build River's confidence and to teach him that the wide world is a fun place to explore!  River can be anxious around new people and in new environments but once warmed up, he loves people (including children) and other dogs. In fact, River must have another dog in the house as he follows the lead of his current foster brother and has learned so much from him! River's daily medication helps calm him down, and this is something that his forever person will need to continue for River's benefit and comfort. River is a masterpiece in the making! He needs a forever person or family who will be willing to love him and help him continue to blossom. PAW places animals in the DC, MD, northern VA, and southern PA area only. ##1836418##

Story
Juke, a one year old, rib showing, 90lbs Anatolian Shepherd mix who is looking for a foster or an adopter that will help him add about 10-15 lbs to his too lean of a figure and give him a loving home to decompress after having been in the shelter for so long. Looking at his age, body structure, and his back paws, we will venture to say there’s a Pyrenees in the bloodline somewhere. What do we know about him? -Easy/loose leash walking boy does he love his walks! -Very playful -Gentle treat taking and loves treats -Low to medium energy but watch out for the zoomies -Dog tested with no negative reaction -Can become mouthy when super excited but responds to corrections. -A home with small children is not ideal as he will knock them down. Videos: https://youtu.be/Xew5GZTtTRM https://youtu.be/7FCB1BNQIKo REMINDER: A dog described as low to medium energy, whose body is beginning to adjust to better nutrition, can turn into a very energetic pup once his system heals. To foster you must be within 30 miles maximum from zipcode 20906, and be able to bring your foster dog to our vet in Burtonsville or Silver Spring. Application here: https://bit.ly/4d7XoKd Adoption radius 60 miles from zipcode 20906. We do not promote any of our dogs as house trained or allergy friendly.

Story
Scooby stole hearts everywhere when a video surfaced of him freshly abandoned on a hiking trail, voiceless from crying at every stranger who walked by. Dehydrated and desperate, he followed a good Samaritan, begging to be saved. Thankfully, they didn’t have the heart to leave him behind and brought him to safety. When we agreed to take Scooby in, we had no idea what a character we were getting! This intelligent and mischievous pup quickly made an impression. On his first day in a foster home, he was sent packing for being too smart for his own good! Scooby then went to boarding, where his knack for getting into trouble earned him a one-way ticket to boot camp. At boot camp, Scooby’s true potential began to shine. This boy thrives on learning and loves to please his humans! His tail wagged nonstop as he eagerly mastered commands with his trainer, and now he’s ready to show off his skills as a “good boy.” Now settled in Richmond, VA, Scooby is on the hunt for someone who appreciates a sharp, energetic dog that’s ready to work, play, and bond. At just a year old, Scooby’s personality is larger than life—you can’t help but feel there’s a little human soul inside his expressive body. If you’re ready for the challenge of keeping up with a dog as clever as Scooby-Doo, this incredible pup might just be your perfect match!

Story
Come meet adoptable dogs every Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM - 4 PM at our Adoption Center located at 11116 Fairfax Station Rd. Fairfax Station, VA 22039. We can also schedule time to meet a specific dog at the Adoption Center during the week by appointment - just fill out the application and we will follow up with you! For animals in foster homes, please submit an online application and a member of our Adoptions team will reply with next steps. If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out our dog adoption questionnaire and e-mail it to: barroso.selma@gmail.com Sudi is a super amazing dog from Iran , where she endured horrible cruelty that we cannot even begin to fathom. As a working farm dog, when she did not perform to her owner's satisfaction he cut off her front paws, dragged her behind a car and hit and kicked her. How she lived we do not know. But thankfully, an Iranian loving person rescued her and through a lot of hard work, Sudi left Iran for Canada and then made her way to us here at Homeward Trails. She recently was fitted for prosthetic feet and is doing remarkably well in them, getting a new lease on life that allows her to be more mobile. While we thought she may need hip surgery to replace her hip socket, we are currently waiting on that per her veterinarian orthopedist's suggestion to have a specialist determine if it is workable. For now, she remains on pain meds and steroids to address the issue, which may end up being her long-term solution. Sudi needs an adoptive family. She is great with all people but does not like other animals enough to live with them. It may be her low-level pain or fear but we have tried and we now know she wishes to be an only animal. This girl is a truly remarkable example of endurance and spirit. That she even trusts humans at all after what has been done to her is truly, truly inspiring. She will do best in a home with few stairs - or least a home where she can get inside/outside without many. She would love a yard where she can lounge in the sun. Whatever orthopedic issues come her way in the near future in terms of surgery will be covered by Homeward Trails. We are proud to partner with the following veterinarians who offer a free first exam for your animal, exclusively for HT adopters: Caring Hands Animal Hospital, Palisades Veterinary Clinic, Sunshine Animal Hospital and Clarendon Animal Care and all VCA Animal Hospitals. Additionally, any VCA hospital will cover illnesses up to $250 at no cost to any Homeward Trails adopter. We also provide free online workshop with a professional dog trainer at Fur-Get Me Not within the first 30 days of adopting - just for HT adopters in the Arlington/Alexandria/Falls Church/DC area. Start your new dog out on the right foot with this valuable, expert guidance FREE! You can save animals like this one by becoming a foster! Fosters are like way stations between high kill shelters and forever homes. We need fosters so that we can save dogs before they are euthanized at the shelters. If you are interested in becoming a foster, please check out our information about fostering by visiting http://www.homewardtrails.org/foster-a-pet/dog-and-cat-foster-program PLEASE VISIT THIS WEBSITE TO FIND THE ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HTAR/Dog

My dog Rocky is 11 months old Mastiff Pitbull male. 🥰👍He love going outside and playing. He is very strong 💪 and pulled my heavy duty walker. He needs more training. If he see a squirrel, a bird or bike he will chase it. 🥰👍He act well with women and children. He love to jump on everyone and still have that teenager energy. Sometime he will be bashful around men because of their strong voice. My dog Rocky will bark when someone or visitors come to the door. 🥰Yes, very protective of me. He had some training from me, my daughter and son, he can sit, stay, and lay down. You have to say "watch out Rocky" for him to move out the way.🥰When he go outside he like to play tag, get the stick and bring it back when you throw it, get the ball when throwing it and tug of war with his rope. 🥰He will come back when you call his name "Rocky".🥰👍❤️👌😁

OAKLEY NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!   Name:  Oakley          Best Guess for Breed:  Mastiff and retriever mix   Best Guess for Age:  9 months as of April 2024        SEX:    Female   Estimated Weight:    42 lbs as of 12/22/24   Gets Along With:   Oakley is good with other dogs and needs to go to a home with a welcoming resident dog. She's in her prime socialization period and this is a good time for her to meet cats, we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Currently Living at:   DC area foster home.   Special Adoption Considerations:      Right now, Oakley is pretty shy as she adjusts to life in a home. She needs to go to a home with a welcoming resident dog who will help show her the ropes! Oakley is Looking For:    I'd be a fantastic wingwoman for your dog! I'd love to have a family to take walks with, go on hikes with, take car rides with, go to the dog park and a training class!! I would love to show my humans how much I love them. My needs are really rather basic: food, a bed (I can certainly share yours in a pinch hahaha I'm not really kidding I can), some toys (I promise not to use your shoes instead plus you're going to be smart and put them away ; ) ), some walks (and those are good for you too) and trips to the dog park or doggie day care (also I'm sure good for you!). And in exchange, I'll be the best girl for you and love you for the rest of my life!!    What do you say? Is there space for me in your home and your heart?  What My Foster Says About Me: When Oakley arrived she was very shy and reserved, but she has warmed up to all of us and to our dog. She is a complete cuddlebug who loves to snuggle on the couch with us. She is best buddies with our dog, and the two of them look out the bay window and watch the neighborhood happenings, and she loves to sit quietly and get pets. Oakley goes into the crate on her own and that is her favorite spot at night.
