Homeward Trails is so grateful for the wonderful and generous donation made by Miss Pixie (of Miss Pixie’s Furnishings and Whatnot) and her customers, totaling almost 2,000 dollars for the homeless animals of Homeward Trails.
Miss Pixie threw one great holiday party in honor of her recently deceased kitty Blanche and got more than 100 friends and customers to come and donate to HT.
We thank Miss Pixie and her wonderfully generous friends and customers for their kindess!

Updates on some of our special needs animals…Tillah: This dog was rescued from the streets of Afghanistan almost two years ago. Suffering PTSD from years of abuse, HT struggled with how to help this dog. Many meetings with a behavioristis, vets and trainers, Tillah had a rough year not finding her fit anywhere. Finally, Tillah found her forever home where she has gotten love, patience and understanding and she has blossomed. Just last week, we learned from Tillah’s family that she has cancer. 🙁 We are sending our most positive thoughts her way in hopes that she can beat it and live a nice, long life. Donations to HT help us help dogs like Tillah who need extra care and support while they look for their forever home. View the video of Tillah filmed last year on Voice of America: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRTn7ZW4IkA
Mikey: Mikey the senior black lab has been sprung free from the hospital after nearly dying from Pneumonia. After not eating for 8 days and resisting all meds, he finally came around and is now in foster care. He is soooo smiley and wags his tail all the time. He also loves the dog park and playing with his tennis ball and stuffed bunny. Now he needs a loving home!!! Thanks to all who donated! We raised 50% of his bill and are still working on the rest! See his smiling face here (and make additional donations): http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=14614166
Brodie: This cutie is now in a foster home and sooo much happier. YAY! http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=11221038
Chloe: We have now hooked up her dedicated foster dad with a trainer who is working with him to help Chloe adjust better! We will likely need donations for ongoing training so that Chole is adoptable as possible!! http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=14017433
Tony: He had his dental procedure done and a total of 6 teeth needed to be extracted. YUCK! But now that those awful rotting teeth have been removed, Tony is feeling awesome! And, best of all, he has been adopted by a wonderful family!!! YAY! His new owners just love him, as do his two new kitty sisters!
Prissy: Originally thought to be a girl, ‘Prissy’ became ‘Prince’ once he was seen by the vet The good news is that Prince’s deformed front paws are not causing him any pain. His left paw is significantly worse, however, the vet believes as he continues to grow, he will learn to adjust to his condition. The bad news is that Prince was also diagnosed with a moderate heart murmur (Stage 3). We will continue to monitor this condition and hope that the murmur disappears, as it sometimes does with kittens, as he gets a little older! http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=13598706

Today Luke Skywalker [formerly Barrett] celebrates his first adoption anniversary! He came to us a skinny, timid young dog with no training and diagnosed with worms and heartworm. A year later, Luke is confident, playful and extremely intelligent–he loves dogs,
Scrappy Hi, I’m Scrappy! I am originally from Tazwell County. I am very fun and excitable. I love to be outside and playing. Rope toys and squeaky toys are my favorite things in the entire world. I am very excited when I meet new people and my goal is to try to jump up and kiss their face, no matter how tall they are. I am not the tallest, so trying to kiss faces is sometimes challenging, but I usually succeed. I would love a home where I can be active and go on adventures! Can you give me a forever home?
Hi, I’m Lulu! My sister Bitsy and I are looking for a home to call our very own. We came all the way from rural Va and we can’t wait to make new friends. Here’s a little about me: I’m a spunky lady and I love to talk! Chirping, trilling, you name it. What can I say, I’m always thinking about something! I’m pretty adaptable and love playing as much as sitting on your lap. Head scratches are THE BEST, but if you get out a teaser wand I might just have to pounce on it. I like to keep tabs on what you’re up to, so don’t mind me if I start sniffing around to see what’s up. I just want to be in the know!
My sister Bitsy is a real lovebug. She loves sitting on laps too and for some reason she loves getting pets on the tushy. I think it’s kind of weird but to each their own! We look out for each other, especially in the grooming department. I do her hair and she does mine, just like our mom did when we were younger! Sometimes we get a little rowdy playing with each other, but it’s all in good fun.
We would absolutely love to be adopted together to a home where we can get all the attention. In fact, we would love to live with a couple or a family because that means more laps to sit on! Please consider adopting us, I promise you won’t regret it!
