Meet June: A Sweet and Gentle Soul Looking for Her Forever Home!
Age: Best guess, 3-4 years old
Approximate Weight: 53 lbs
Personality & Temperament: June is a sweet, calm, and shy girl who is learning to come out of her shell. As she settles in, she enjoys time with her foster family and fellow furry friends. Her gentle nature makes her the perfect companion for someone who appreciates a lower-maintenance dog that enjoys peace and quiet.
Great with Other Dogs: June is living harmoniously with both a dog her size and a smaller pup. She gets along well with them and would thrive in a home with another dog to keep her company.
Crate Trained: The crate is June's safe haven! She sleeps through the night quietly and is comfortable being left alone without any barking, howling, or whining. It's her go-to spot for relaxation.
House/Potty Trained: June is fully housebroken. She has never had any accidents in the house or her crate, making her a well-mannered housemate.
Leash Walking: Though she's a beginner, June is improving her leash-walking skills every day. She's a fast learner and enjoys her walks, especially when they're in quieter areas.
Activity Level: June's activity level is on the low-to-medium side, though she may just be decompressing from her previous life. She shows signs of playfulness and excitement but isn't as active as you might expect for a hound or beagle mix. She enjoys being outside, but a calm, relaxed pace suits her best.
Likes:
Meal time and treats (who doesn't?)
Chin scratches
The company of other dogs
Cozy beds
Enjoying the outdoors
Riding in the car with the wind in her ears!
Dislikes/Fears: June is still a little fearful of lots of activity and loud noises, including cars and trucks. A slow, patient approach works best for her as she builds confidence.
Good with Cats & Squirrels: June hasn't shown much interest in chasing cats or squirrels. She's pretty laid-back and doesn't seem to have a high prey drive.
Kids: June would do best in a home with older, respectful kids who understand her need for space. Younger, more active children might be overwhelming for her right now.
Training: June hasn't had formal obedience training yet, but she's a smart girl. Once she's more confident and comfortable, training will start, and she's sure to pick it up quickly.
Ideal Home: June would thrive in a calm, low-activity home where her people want a relaxed, easy-going companion. If you're looking for a sweet, lower-maintenance dog who enjoys her quiet time but also wants to share her affection, June might just be your perfect match!
If you think you can give June the love and patience she needs to blossom, contact tiffanyw@homewardtrails.org

BE A FOSTER: Save a life: http://www.homewardtrails.org/foster-a-pet/dog-and-cat-foster-program.
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
