What started as a minor eye infection quickly took a turn and Aggie’s eye almost ruptured! Aggie arrived to us with an eye infection but in a very short amount of time it quickly became something that needed urgent medical attention.

Luckily, we got her to the vet in time to start aggressive treatment that should save her eye. Who knows how long she had before it would have ruptured. But now she’ll require follow up appointments and care in order to keep her on the road to recovery. Please help cover the cost of her meds and follow up care!

Evelyn was abandoned in rural Virginia on the side of the road – probably because of her medical problems. She was picked up and taken into the local shelter. As soon as Evelyn arrived, shelter staff reached out to Homeward Trails because it was clear she needed more care than they could afford to provide. She has a large mammary mass on her chest that needs to be removed immediately. She will also need x-rays to see if the tumor has spread. We have agreed to bring Evelyn to Homeward Trails and get her the car she needs. Please help us get Evelyn some relief and fast!

When it rains it pours – and that’s definitely happening now. But that doesn’t seem to do justice the fact that we now have 7 more puppies who have deadly parvovirus. At only 6 weeks old, they’re so young and fragile. They arrived last night, usually puppies are excited, vocal, and climbing on top of each other for attention, but these 7 barely had the energy to stand up. Some were vomiting and all had severe diarrhea. When we took them out their crate, they were wobbly and toppled over. A test confirmed it – they’re positive for parvovirus. We sprung into action, working quickly to stabilize them so they could make it to the vet.

They’re now receiving intensive care because at only 4 pounds their bodies need all the help they can get if they’re going to make it. Please help us save their lives by supporting their care. Without donations, we’ll be starting 2023 in horrible shape and that will directly impact how many animals we can say yes to who need out of rural shelters.

It started with one puppy – vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy. Then his sibling started refusing food and the other symptoms followed. And then the remaining siblings all began experiencing the same. Our worst fears were confirmed when, after being rushed to the emergency vet, they were all diagnosed with potentially deadly parvovirus.

Parvo strikes quickly and is crippling. They remain hospitalized and are receiving intensive care in hopes their bodies can fight the virus. We’re doing everything we can to give them the chance to survive. It wasn’t their fault they ended up in a shelter before coming to Homeward Trails. But now their bodies are paying the price.

Parvo treatment is incredibly expensive for one puppy, let alone for four! Please help us continue to give them the care they need so they can eventually turn the corner.

Krampus is a sweet beagle boy who loves people and would make the perfect addition to any family – but there’s one big thing holding him back. He needs a dental. No, dentals aren’t exciting, but because of the cost, it can mean dogs get left behind in shelters, get overlooked for adoptions. We can’t let that happen and that’s why we’re committed to getting him his dental so she can have a happy, health life in front of him. Please help us cover the cost of the care Krampus so desperately needs.

Gracie was lethargic and refusing to eat. Despite our best efforts, we couldn’t perk her up. The vet ran a number of tests to figure out what was going on and what could be causing her symptoms. Then the vet found painful ulcers in her mouth and throat, keeping her from wanting to eat. It’s mostly likely calicivirus, something that can be serious even for adult cats like Gracie. In order to get back on her feet, Gracie is going to need a lot of supportive care, but we know she’s a tough little fighter. Please help cover the cost of her tests and care so that we can continue to help Gracie and other cats like her who just need a little extra help.

These two poodles, a mother (Minnie) and daughter (Baby), came from a suspected puppy mill in Florida. They were given away because they were in bad shape. Once they were out of the puppy mill, Minnie delivered a single puppy who was stillborn. Before their rescue, they lived in outdoor dirty cages. When the good Samaritan took them in, the signs of neglect were clear – they were malnourished and dehydrated, covered in fleas and ear mites. They were shut down and scared.

The good news is they will never again face neglect. But the damage was done and they needed substantial medical care, including dentals, to get back on their feet. We’re committed to bringing them to Homeward Trails so they can never have to struggle again. Please help us welcome them and cover the cost of their rehabilitation. Baby still needs her dental when she arrives and puts on enough weight.
