Story
If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out our dog adoption questionnaire and e-mail any questions to:lisab@homewardtrails.org PLEASE VISIT THIS WEBSITE TO FIND THE ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE: http://www.homewardtrails.org/adopt-a-pet/adoption-forms/ HOW TO MEET FREDDY: Fill out the application and we will follow up with you! We will connect you to his foster! LOCATION: An amazing Foster home ADOPTION COORDINATOR: Sue B (sueb@homewardtrails.org) ADOPTION FEE: The adoption fee for this dog is $475 ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 15 pounds; the perfect size for your lap ESTIMATED AGE: about 12 years young KNOWN WITH DOGS: Freddy doesn’t mind other low key dogs. On walks his tail goes full speed when he see's other dogs and is interested in saying hello. KNOWN WITH CATS: Freddy is more interested in cat food than cats. He ignores them and is ok if they come and sniff him a bit. KNOWN WITH KIDS: We are not totally sure about young kids. Freddy enjoys a quiet house, so maybe older kids would be best that understand to go slow and be gentle. KNOWN COMMANDS: Seems to understand “Come here”, but nothing else is really needed with this little guy. KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: Freddy will settle down in a crate or small area after a while. He is a little nervous when left alone and can have an accident. Otherwise he is housetrained. He can sleep all night without needing to go out or without any accidents. KNOWN LIKES: Napping near his female human(s). Freddy loves to follow around his female human(s) and nap close by. Even with his weak little back legs, he will put his paws up on the couch to come up. Loves to go for a leisurely walk and sniff around. Freddy does really well in the car too! Freddy also prefers being airlifted up and down stairs because of his legs and restricted vision. KNOWN DISLIKES: Men. We are not sure what happened to poor little Freddy, but somewhere something happened in his past and Freddy decided he does not like men. He gets very scared when he hears men voices. Freddy will only be placed in a home with women. Freddy also doesn’t like stairs. He can go up a few, but with his weak legs and vision, going down is not for him. ABOUT FREDDY: Freddy loves to curl up in a soft bed or on the couch next to his favorite human. This sweet old boy will surprise you though with a bounce in his step at nearly 12 years old. He is quiet and somewhat shy, but will just make your heart melt when he comes and asks for pets. At 12 years old, he has a stiff rear end, but with a small amount of medication and supplements he is more comfortable. Carpeted areas are a big help. He enjoys walks and will start bouncing when he is happy. Freddy will settle in after a while and can be left for a few hours without any accidents in the house. If you can’t bring yourself to leave him, he is happy to ride along. He is great in the car! He has some vision impairment, will bump into somethings and doesn’t navigate stairs well. So a house with few steps or being willing to airlift up and down would be best. Freddy is the perfect addition to a quiet female only household willing to just spend time with him and be near.

Story
Meet Charlie. The sweet senior was surrendered with his brother, Clyde, to our rescue by the only family they’ve ever known. While these two boys technically had a home, they were kept in the basement and did not have the care or engagement they deserved. Both dogs came into the rescue in dire need of dental work, both living with pain and infection. Clyde also had a heart murmur that needed evaluation. Both pups have since been fully vetted, had dental work, and been groomed. They live in a wonderful foster home, getting lots of love and attention and flourishing. They are both exceptionally sweet, easygoing seniors who do well with cats, dogs, and all people. NOTE: Charlie and Clyde are not bonded, but they are friends. They can be adopted as a pair or separately, so we are featuring each pup individually. Charlie’s little side grin will melt your heart immediately. He is an easygoing boy who is very connected to his people. He may be a senior, but he still has a bounce in his step when it’s food time or heading out for a walk. Every once in a while, he will get the zoomies and run up and down the hall as quickly as he can. He loves being part of a family and will greet you with joy and enthusiasm when you come home. He just wants to belong and have his people to love. Charlie is a low to moderate-energy dog and champion cuddler. He follows his foster mom from room to room and immediately jumps in her lap when she sits down. He enjoys the company of other dogs, so we think another laidback pup in his home would be ideal. He’s not one to engage in play and is not very focused on toys, but he’s a respectful pup with a live-and-let-live attitude and makes a great pup companion. He also enjoys his walks and has good leash skills. In his prior home, Charlie’s family kept their dogs in belly bands 24 x 7 and did not give them regular potty breaks, so Charlie had to re-learn the basics. His foster mom, Jen, has done a great job with him,  ensuring he has a consistent routine and regular potty breaks, and used a puppy pen to contain him when she couldn’t watch him. He’s responded well and hasn’t had any accidents in weeks. He will even  perk up from a deep sleep if you say the word “outside.” Charlie no longer wears a belly band, and she no longer uses the pen. At night, she leaves him loose, and he is fine sleeping in bed or on his bed next to you. Over the Thanksgiving holiday, Charlie did well meeting the extended family. He might give a quick bark when company arrives to alert you, but as soon as everyone settles in, he’s exploring new laps to snuggle up to. Charlie is a sweet and calm pup who deserves to live out his golden years in a loving home. He has good house manners, doesn’t chew on things, makes a good pup companion, and loves to cuddle.  Apply today!

Story
Meet Clyde. The sweet senior was surrendered with his brother, Charlie, to our rescue by the only family they’ve ever known. While these two boys technically had a home, they were kept in the basement and did not have the care or engagement they deserved. Both dogs came into the rescue in dire need of dental work, both living with pain and infection. Clyde also had a heart murmur that needed medication. Both pups have been fully vetted, had dental work, and been groomed, and they’re getting lots of love and attention and flourishing in wonderful foster homes. These pups are exceptionally sweet, easygoing seniors who do well with cats, dogs, and all people. NOTE: Charlie and Clyde are not bonded, but they are friends. Since they can be adopted as a pair or separately, we are featuring each pup individually. Clyde is a charming 11-year-old Maltese who will melt your heart with his soft cuddles and soulful eyes. He is a very gentle, affectionate, and laid-back boy who loves to be near his people and enjoys cuddling with his dog buddies. His foster home is an active household with a mom, dad, teen son, and two larger dogs, and he does well with everyone. Clyde would thrive in a quiet, loving home with someone who understands the joy and fulfillment of caring for and loving a senior dog. Whether you’re retired, work from home, or just want a sweet companion to keep you company, Clyde is ready to bring his gentle presence into your life. He enjoys short, leisurely strolls or just hanging out at home — he’s very adaptable and the perfect buddy for someone who enjoys a slower pace of life. He would do best in a home with a laidback pup companion and really appreciates the companionship of a dog buddy. As a senior, Clyde has some health issues to manage. He has a grade 4 to 5 heart murmur, which requires daily medications. We had an echocardiogram done to assess his condition, and he was cleared for dental surgery. He’s doing well on the medication and already had his dental cleaning and extractions. He’s feeling so much better now; his mouth infections are gone, and he has a new pep in his step. Clyde’s care will include bi-yearly bloodwork (which all seniors should have) and regular echocardiograms to monitor his heart condition every 6 to 12 months. Because of his past home conditions, Clyde currently wears a belly band during the day to protect him from marking or pee accidents. He knows to potty outside and will always poop outside. We suspect he has a mix of learned behavior from his prior home, older age, and some of the medications he is on make him more prone to potty. He has already learned to hold it overnight and enjoys snuggling up with this foster family in bed, so we’ve seen improvement. His foster mom has also noted that he tends to have more accidents when change or activity happens…so we think he could continue to improve in a calm environment. Despite his medical needs, Clyde’s foster mom, Jenn, describes him as a lovable, low-maintenance companion who is happiest snuggled up beside you or snoozing in a cozy bed. Clyde is a calm little guy who doesn’t ask for much — just a quiet, loving home where he can enjoy his golden years. Clyde may have a few extra needs, but the love he has to give is immeasurable. If you have room in your heart and home for this sweet senior, consider Clyde and apply today. NOTE: Clyde is in Charlotte, NC but can be brought to DC metro upon request!   BREED ESTIMATE: Maltese GENDER: Male APPROXIMATE WEIGHT:  10.5 lbs  APPROXIMATE AGE: ~ 11 years old COAT TYPE:  Medium-long fluffy coat ADOPTION FEE: $400 OTHER INFO: utd on shots/neutered/microchipped/recent dental LOCATION: Charlotte, NC   FOR MORE INFO OR TO ADOPT: Please go to https://adopt.worthydog.org and complete the application.

Story
** Current Location: in a private facility in South Korea ** • Rescue Story : A dog with its eyes completely missing, a dog whose body was entirely blackened, a dog with rotting genitals... We struggle to find the words to describe the horrors we witnessed. Like hamsters on a wheel, the dogs cried out for help. There were every kind of dog here, some that were once fashionable and others currently in demand. The once trendy dogs were dying in the corner, while those now popular were crying out for salvation with every part of their body. This place had been illegally breeding and abusing animals for 25 years. From this hell, the rescue team saved Lulu. • Personality: Cuddle lover, people-oriented, loyal Lulu is affectionate and friendly with all people. He enjoys being touched. He is a "cuddle enthusiast" and often smiles when receiving attention. • Affinity with -Cats: Not tested -Dogs: Lulu has limited experience interacting with other dogs. He doesn't show much interest in them but could benefit from living with a similarly-sized companion. His social skills will develop as he gains more experience. -Adults/Kids: Lulu is affectionate and friendly with all people. • Shedding: 1-2 (1-10 scale) • Walking Manners: Lulu has not yet had proper walks. Once his adoption is confirmed, he will receive walking training, but continued practice with his adopter will be necessary. • Housetrained: Lulu frequently marks indoors and is still learning to use pads. More training is needed, and his adopter will need to continue this process. Once his adoption is confirmed, the team will continue pad training, but the adopter will need to maintain consistency with training. Baths/Brushing: He's calm during grooming, including nail trimming and brushing. • Separation Anxiety: None at the current facility • Barker or Quiet: Occasional demand barking (getting out of a crate, asking for more belly rubs, etc.) • Food Allergies: None • Likes & Dislikes: Likes People, treats, cuddles, and toys! • Health: Lulu has undergone surgery for both patellar luxation and is currently in rehabilitation. An ulcer in his left cornea is being treated with eye drops and is recovering.
