Homeward Trails
Penny, the HT Lost Dog, is Home!
Penny is safe! Here's the message from her adopters:
At 8:40 last night, our other dog Buddy barked and started whining at the front door. I opened the door and there Penny was, waiting for an invitation to come in!!! After 5 days on the run, she looks well and happy, is eating and drinking. THANK YOU so much for the prayers and assistance!!!

Celebrate the Oswald-Day Wedding With a Gift To Help Animals!
In honor of their kitties Lille Belle and Eleanor, Julie Oswald and Tim Day are generously requesting donations to Homeward Trails in lieu of wedding gifts.
Tim and Julie, who adopted Eleanor from Homeward Trails, will be getting married at Tudor Place in Georgetown on October 1, 2011. The lovely afternoon ceremony will be followed by a high tea reception. We are so excited for them!
Homeward Trails Animal Rescue is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that find homes in the DC area for dogs and cats rescued from high-kill animal shelters or whose owners could no longer care for them or were found as strays. Donations are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law. Your donation will help pay for veterinary costs, boarding and transportation from rural animal shelters and will help us rescue more dogs and cats!
About Homeward Trails
Homeward Trails seeks to find permanent adoptive homes in the Mid-Atlantic Region for dogs and cats from high-kill 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 by no fault of their own.
Many are puppies and kittens – innocent victims of irresponsible pet owners who don’t practice spay/neuter. Many are abandoned hunting dogs who served their owners well and were dumped in woods or left at shelters when they were no longer wanted. Many 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!
