Please help poor Micah! After being abandoned in an Arlington parking lot, this sweet, amazing boy was rescued by a good samaritan. Safe in a foster home, Micah thought his luck had finally turned.  And then one day, he started limping after playing. We took him to the vet and he was diagnosed with a congenital bone defect!

Micah will need to under go reconstruction of his shoulder cartilage to be able to walk and run pain free. Micah loves to play at the dog park and with his doggie foster sister, so this is very difficult for such a sociable and fun loving boy. He is currently on anti-inflammatory and pain medication, but he cannot use his leg. Please help us raise money for this expensive surgery so Micah can run pain free at the dog park!

Meet Aiden!  Aiden is a cute 6 month old puppy picked up by Animal Control on the mean streets of Baltimore. A local rescue/shelter took him in but said they did not want to keep him because he was too mouthy. Imagine that! A 6 month old puppy mouthy!? So Homeward Trails stepped in and rescued the little guy! He is currently in doggie daycare in Arlington and having a ball! He loves other dogs and every person he meets! He loves to play fetch and loves to please. Come meet Aiden and find your new best friend!

Poor Lil Bit was found as a stray and brought to a rural VA shelter.  At first, she seemed just fine - a little thin but a happy, friendly dog.  But after she had been in a small dog play group, the shelter noticed her reluctance to put weight on her rear leg.  A trip to the vet for an x-ray revealed that her leg had been broken and then ignored.  The result is that the bone healed badly. 

Though Lil Bit has a great attitude and never complains, we are sure that she must be in pain.  While she still loves to play and the leg doesn't seem to slower her down one bit, without corrective surgery, the leg will deteriorate, become increasingly useless and cause her more pain.  Please help us help Lil Bit gain pain-free use of her hind leg so that she can run and play pain-free!

Please consider making a tax deductible contrribution to fund Lil Bit's expensive surgery!  

Poor Talledega! After wandering the streets of Baltimore, Talledega was rescued by Homeward Trails from a Maryland shelter.

Please help us bring Elliott to DC! Elliott is a beautiful 1 year old husky/lab mix currently in a rural high kill shelter in Ohio.

Please donate today (or apply to foster) Elliot!

Tessa and Rex are doing so well at daycare. The daycare staff loves them and the dogs have really warmed up and are getting used to so many different people. They are not in the playroom, but an area called the "Cozy Corner". They aren't with the other dogs yet but have the opportunity to see new people and learn that new people are not scary and can actually bring good things - like treats!
