ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:
Meet Cocoa, a resilient and sweet 4-year-old pup with a heart full of love to give. Cocoa's journey hasn't been an easy one, she faced the threat of euthanasia at a high-kill shelter after testing positive for heartworms. But thanks to a compassionate volunteer who stepped in, she found a temporary foster home where she received the life-saving treatment she needed.
Now heartworm negative, Cocoa is healthy, happy, and ready for a fresh start. She is housetrained, crate trained, and an all-around easy companion. Cocoa loves to give kisses and thrives on affection, making her a perfect addition to any loving home.
Cocoa has been a wonderful addition since her arrival. She has not had any accidents indoors and adapts well to her crate. Although she may whine initially when placed inside, she typically calms down quickly. She sleeps soundly through the night in her crate but also appreciates resting at the foot of the bed.
Her interactions with her foster’s children have been exceptional; she delights in running around with them and showering them with affection. Additionally, she enjoys playing in the yard with the resident dog, engaging in games of tug-of-war. When excited during playtime, she eagerly anticipates interaction with the other dogs. When the foster hosted other dogs for pet-sitting, Cocoa has been introduced to them successfully and has played amicably with several dogs simultaneously. However, she is not submissive; if another dog attempts to nip at her or behaves too roughly, she will assert herself. She responds well to corrections when I notice any rising tension between her and another dog.
Cocoa is very gentle when accepting treats from her foster or the children. While she excels at the "sit" command, the foster is also focusing on teaching her other basic commands. She appears eager to learn, especially when treats are involved. Cocoa is an affectionate and cuddly dog who enjoys giving kisses.
If you are searching for a loyal and affectionate companion with an inspiring story, Cocoa is ready to meet you and fill your life with unconditional love.

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
