Before October 2013, it was legal to chain a dog in Arlington County outside for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. But thanks to efforts by local animal advocates, led by HT Executive Director Sue Bell, dogs can no longer be chained for more than three hours in a 24 hour period. “This is a tremendous statement to animal owners out there that Arlington will not tolerate chaining and neglect of dogs,” says Bell. “We applaud the County for passing the measure, the Animal Welfare League of Arlington for supporting it and enforcing it and our many animal advocates who helped get this through. It’s a good day for dogs in Arlington!”

Felix! is a rockstar learner, a master goofball, and all around great companion. He is not a fan of cats, small animals or children. BUT HE IS A FAN OF FRIENDSHIP! Felix knows quite a few commands, agility and loves to take strolls with his peeps. He would probably be a great couch potato (for someone with a really big couch and equally as big heart).
Felix has his crate packed and he is ready to go to his furever home. His adoption fee is $0 and his basic essentials are packed up and ready to go too! Want to meet this great guy? Email adoptioncenter@homewardtrails.org.
