In an effort to save more lives, HT is allowing expedited adoptions for certain animals if applicants bring required paperwork. You can bring your new family member home more quickly by bringing your current pets' vet records, a copy of your lease or landlord letter stating you are permitted to have pets, and photos of your home. Help us help you adopt more quickly!

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out our dog adoption questionnaire and e-mail it to Alanai23@yahoo.com.

Matilda is a very sweet girl, who loves to go for walks and be with her people. She is friendly with most other dogs if she gets the proper chance to say hello, and she while she's not aggressive towards cats, she will chase them. She is excellent with kids and is quite tolerant of all kinds of loving (including ear pulls!). She has been responding well to training and we've seen improvement after just a few sessions with the trainer to walk on the leash, sit, and stay. She's house trained and crate trained and loves to go for car rides. You will fall in love with this polite girl quickly, and she is ready to meet her new forever family!

You can save animals like this one by becoming a foster! Fosters are like way stations between high kill shelters and forever homes. We need fosters so that we can save dogs before they are euthanized at the shelters. If you are interested in becoming a foster, please check out our information about fostering by visiting http://www.homewardtrails.org/foster-a-pet/dog-and-cat-foster-program/
