After the loss of our 16-year-old golden/chow/collie mix we didn’t even want to think about getting another dog. Bet after waiting almost a year and a half, we decided we were ready to add the love of a dog back into the family equation. We knew we wanted a female, about 30 pounds, mild-mannered and good with cats, dogs and children. We thought it would be relatively easy to find the perfect dog – boy were we wrong! We reached out to a number of rescue organizations. We were most impressed with Homeward Trails who were really committed to finding the right dog for our family. Working with our adoption coordinator Patty Sharma it took only took one month to…

We recently celebrated the sixth anniversary of Morgan being with our family. It is amazing that this little dog that wasn’t supposed to even survive six months has graced us with six full years of joy and is still going strong. Diagnosed with a life threatening heart condition she surprised everyone, including our vet. Little did we know long ago that Morgan would outlive the other dog in our life.

From the day we moved into our house we knew it would be too empty without the love and companionship of a dog. Through a friend we heard about Homeward Trails and decided to get in touch to see if they could help us find a great dog. Within a very short time we completed the adoption process and went to meet a litter of puppies. They told us the puppies were a mixture of Plot hound, lab, pit bull and Sheperd - basically we have no idea what they were because it never really mattered. We just wanted a puppy!
