My story

HOW TO MEET THIS ANIMAL: Come meet them every Saturday and Sunday at the Homeward Trails Adoption Center located at 11116 Fairfax Station Road in Fairfax Station, Virginia from 10 am until 4 pm.

LOCATION: Homeward Trails Adoption Center

ADOPTION COORDINATOR: Contact our awesome staff at adoptioncenter@homewardtrails.org

ADOPTION FEE: Magnolia is part of the Go Fetch program. This means that her adoption fee is waived and she's ready to roll with some other goodies too! Adopt this girl today! 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: Magnolia can be particular about her canine friends, though she tends to do better with dogs who are smaller and match her playstyle. She needs her partners to know when she has had enough so she can play with confidence.

KNOWN WITH CATS: We do not currently know how they are with cats. If that is needed, let us know and we'll work on getting that information! She showed interest in cats in windows and tried to 'pounce' them but we are unsure if that was play behavior or not.

KNOWN WITH KIDS: We would not recommend that Magnolia goes to live with children. She can be reactive to strangers, and we want to limit her circle of friends.

KNOWN COMMANDS: Magnolia knows several commands and is very eager to please his handler. She is likely to show you everything she knows! Sit, down, come, center, spin and touch.

KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING &/OR CRATING: Magnolia does very well with crating and is very calm in her kennel.

KNOWN LIKES: Magnolia likes to play tug of war with her people. She is also a cuddler and enjoys basking in the sun. What she likes most is creating a bond with her people!

KNOWN DISLIKES: Magnolia does not like to be rushed around.

ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Meet Magnolia, the delicate flower of the canine world, ready to bloom in the hearts of her forever family. With an estimated weight of 45 lbs, Magnolia may be small in stature, but her gentle spirit and loving nature make her larger than life.

In the garden of canine companionship, Magnolia is a blossoming beauty, getting along well with most dogs, although she prefers playmates who respect her boundaries and know when she's had enough. Just like a delicate flower, Magnolia thrives when she can play with confidence and grace.

While her interactions with cats remain a mystery, Magnolia's gentle disposition suggests that she may adapt well to feline friends with proper introductions and guidance.

As for her interactions with children, it's best to avoid placing Magnolia in a home with young ones. Her reactive nature to strangers means she flourishes best in a calm and predictable environment, where she can fully blossom and grow.

In terms of tricks, Magnolia is a eager learner, ready to show off her repertoire of cuesto impress her handler. With her eager-to-please attitude, she's sure to become a star pupil in no time.

When it comes to housebreaking and crating, Magnolia is a model of calm and poise, finding solace and comfort in her crate as a safe haven. Whether it's cuddling with her humans or basking in the sun, Magnolia finds joy in the simple pleasures of life.

Magnolia's list of likes is as sweet as nectar, from playing tug of war with her beloved humans to cuddling up for a cozy nap. But above all, Magnolia's greatest joy comes from forming a deep and meaningful bond with her people, enriching their lives with her love and devotion.

Despite her shy nature, Magnolia is a sweet and affectionate companion who thrives on love and attention. With patience and understanding, she's ready to blossom into the perfect furry friend for a lucky family willing to open their hearts to her. If you're seeking a loyal and loving companion to join your home, look no further than Magnolia - she's waiting to bloom in your heart and become your steadfast companion for life.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

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
