My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Anabelle is being virtually fostered by Union Veterinary Clinic. We thank Union Veterinary Clinic for giving Anabelle additional exposure so we can get her adopted right away!

LOCATION: Trails Home Farm, 2581 Winchester Rd, Delaplane, VA
ADOPTION COORDINATOR: Trails Home Farm Staff
HOW TO MEET THIS ANIMAL: Any dog located at Trails Home Farm or in foster require an appointment for any approved adopter to have a meet and greet.

ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: They say some dogs choose their people and with Anabelle that is definitely the case. If you're lucky enough (and patient enough) you will soon have a friend for life. This girl loves her people with all her heart and we wouldn't want her any other way.

Anabelle is originally from Puerto Rico. Her owners left the island and didn't take Anabelle with them. She has been very sweet and social with staff and volunteers. She may need a slow intro with dogs that come on too strong, too fast.

Anabelle has high energy, but when she's in a quiet environment, she settles quickly and can be very affectionate. She has very expressive eyes, almost cartoonish, or like an emoji. She smiles with her eyes with such tenderness. Please come visit her at the farm!

KNOWN WITH DOGS: Anabelle plays well with dogs that know how to take breaks so she doesn't gets over stimulated.

KNOWN WITH CATS: Anabelle is cat friendly.

KNOWN WITH KIDS: Anabelle has a rough and tumble play style and might knock over a child on accident. A home with older children may be ideal.

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
