Caesar's Story

Come meet me during our events Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM - 4 PM at the Homeward Trails Manny Law Adoption Center, 11116 Fairfax Station Rd, Fairfax Station, VA. <br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out our dog adoption questionnaire and e-mail any questions to: adoptioncenter@homewardtrails.org<br/><br/>PLEASE VISIT THIS WEBSITE TO FIND THE ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE:<br/>http://www.homewardtrails.org/adopt-a-pet/adoption-forms/<br/><br/>ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Meet Caesar - The Dog Who Grew Up Waiting <br/><br/>Some dogs know what it's like to have a family.<br/><br/>Caesar doesn't.<br/><br/>He came to the shelter when he was just five months old-still a puppy, still learning about the world, still believing someone would come for him.<br/><br/>No one ever did.<br/><br/>Instead of growing up in a home, Caesar grew up behind kennel walls. While other puppies learned about couches, bedtime routines, playing in the backyard, and what it feels like to belong to someone, Caesar learned the rhythm of shelter life.<br/><br/>And somehow...he still loves people.<br/><br/>He still believes they're worth trusting.<br/><br/>He still gets excited to learn, to play, and to hear someone tell him he's a good boy.<br/><br/>Caesar is one of the smartest dogs you'll ever meet. He knows an impressive list of tricks, including come, sit, wait, touch, paw, sit pretty, spin, and even "bang bang!" He loves training, toys, splashing in the water, car rides, long walks, and just being with the people he loves.<br/><br/>After spending so much of his life in the shelter, Caesar can be a little overwhelmed by new experiences. He may need a patient adopter who understands that he'll require a proper decompression period to adjust to life in a home. But once he realizes he's safe, Caesar's true personality shines. He's goofy, affectionate, incredibly sweet, and the kind of dog who forms a deep bond with his people. He has spent years waiting for stability, once he finds it, we know he'll settle in and become the amazing companion we've always seen in him.<br/><br/>Every day, we watch Caesar wait.<br/><br/>Wait for volunteers.<br/><br/>Wait for walks.<br/><br/>Wait for someone to stop at his kennel.<br/><br/>Wait for the family he's never had.<br/><br/>He's no longer the tiny puppy who first arrived here. He's growing up, and our greatest fear is that he'll spend more birthdays waiting for a home instead of celebrating in one.<br/><br/>Caesar has done everything we've asked of him. He's learned. He's trusted. He's loved with his whole heart, even when life hasn't always been kind to him.<br/><br/>Now all he needs is someone to choose him.<br/><br/>Please don't let Caesar spend another day wondering what it feels like to truly belong.<br/><br/>No other dog matches Caesar's patience, heart, and unshakable spirit-and he deserves a life that finally reflects that.<br/><br/>ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 65 lbs<br/><br/>KNOWN WITH DOGS: Caesar would do best as the only pet. <br/><br/>KNOWN WITH CATS: Caesar would prefer a home without cats.<br/><br/>KNOWN WITH KIDS: Caesar would do best with kids 14+<br/><br/>KNOWN CUES: Sit, Down, Shake, Touch, Spin, Stay, Come, Place, Middle, Drop It, and is learning "Give Kiss" and "Sit Pretty."<br/><br/>KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING &/OR CRATING: Caesar seems to do okay going into a crate and settling down after some time. He does get excited when he can see things happening outside his crate.<br/><br/>KNOWN LIKES: Stuffed toys, treats, attention, playing in the water.<br/><br/>KNOWN DISLIKES: People sneaking up on him unexpectedly. <br/><br/><br/>ADOPTION FEE: WAIVED! I'M PART OF THE REWARDS PROGRAM AND MY ADOPTION FEE IS WAIVED. WE WILL ALSO PAY MY FOSTER OR ADOPTER $500.<br/><br/>HT has a number of dogs that need very special homes. These dogs have been failed by humans along the way, leaving them homeless and with issues from their treatment. We'll be honest. Some of them are real jerks. But not always. And not to everyone. Not everyone can be charming ALL the time, right? Others are just fearful and don't like other animals because they have had a bad interaction at some point. Some of them love other dogs but are just plain scared of everything. But all of them are good on the inside. And we believe that ALL of them deserve a chance at life and love. And we're looking to find the right human out there to make that happen. But competition is tough. And they're up against small, well-behaved doggies...so we are offering incentives for special humans willing to give these pooches a chance. WE WANT YOU!<br/><br/>***We are paying $500 to any approved foster or adopter of our REWARDS dogs.***<br/><br/>The human will also get ongoing training support, all supplies covered and a $25 Amazon gift card each month for 6 months. You will learn and grow. You will be doing a world of good for a dog who has really had it rough in life.<br/><br/>----------<br/>HT ADOPTION INCLUSIONS:<br/>-Spay/Neuter<br/>-First 3 distemper series vaccines and dewormings<br/>-Rabies vaccine* age appropriate at time of adoption<br/>-Microchip - lifetime with no registration fees<br/>-Current on heartworm preventative<br/>-Current on flea/tick preventative<br/>----<br/>EXCLUSIVE HTAR ADOPTER BENEFITS:<br/>-$15 off your first chewy order of $49.00 or more<br/>-Exclusive pet insurance offers<br/>- $250 coverage at any VCA Hospital in the country<br/>-COMPLIMENTARY FIRST EXAMS at 10 DC-Area veterinarians <br/>- Free year-round dog training<br/>- KEEP YOUR PET SAFE: Homeward Trails is proud to offer PetLink GPS trackers that will allow you to know where your pet is in real time.**Exclusive for HT Adopters (does not include subscription plan): $50 Check it out here: https://landing.petlink.net/gps-dog-tracker<br/>-A portion of EVERY ADOPTION FEE supports spay/neuter efforts in under resourced communities<br/>-Free doggy day care offers<br/>-EXCLUSIVE DISCOUNTS for Homeward Trails events and merchandise<br/>-Win a $50 Amazon gift card

Homeward Trails Animal Rescue, Inc.'s Adoption Policy
Adopting a pet is a SERIOUS COMMITMENT. We strongly encourage anyone thinking about adding a fuzzy member to their family to do their research and be ready for this commitment. Take a moment to read through this short but helpful Are You Ready to Adopt? page. And please carefully consider the financial obligation you will take on when adopting a new family member. It is important to be sure you can properly care for your pet now and in the future. We will also be happy to work with you to figure out what kind of pet is best for you. If you want to have a pet in your home but aren’t sure you can make the 10-20 year commitment, consider fostering pets. Homeward Trails Animal Rescue will work directly with you, the prospective adopter, providing individualized attention and support in order to help you find the perfect pet for your family. We also suggest you take the time to read through the many resource documents on our website to prepare yourself for the many things that adoption will bring! We provide as much information on each animal’s history, disposition and health as we can gather. We strongly believe that honesty is the best policy. We want each of our animals to find the RIGHT home, not just ANY home. Likewise, we want you to find the pet who best matches your lifestyle and interests. Pet Adoption Questionnaire and Interview You will first be required to complete our Adoption Questionnaire through our ShlelterLuv system. Once received, an HT rep will contact you via phone or e-mail. If it seems you are a good fit for each other based on the info you provided, a phone interview will follow. If you are renting, we require proof that you are allowed to have a pet as well as any breed or size restrictions that may exist. If you have pets or did previously, we require your vet information and we will call them to verify that your pets are in good health, current on vaccines and spayed/neutered. We require that all pets in the home be spayed/neutered unless there are health reasons that can be verified with the vet. Pet Adoption Agreement In our Adoption Agreement, we require that every animal be spayed/neutered (if not prior to adoption) by a specific date. This is VERY important as the overpopulation of dogs and cats in our country is a sad result of too many unplanned litters! If for any reason the match is not as perfect as we all had hoped, the dog or cat must be returned to Homeward Trails, not given away or turned in to a shelter. Serious fines apply to violators of the Homeward Trails Agreement to Adopt. So be clear about what you are signing and be prepared to abide by the contract. It is legally binding and we take it very seriously. Note: Homeward Trails requires adopters to be at least 21 years of age. We will require proof of age to finalize any adoption. Pet Adoption Fee Homeward Trails’ adoption fees range depending on type of animal, the originating shelter and the vetting the animal has received. Our adoption fees are set to allow us to cover our expenses as well as to help other animals in our program that require additional care. Our fees cover vetting costs, shelter fees, fuel for transport, copying and printing of contracts and paperwork, our website presence, food, boarding, behavioral training and additional medical care. It is important to note that while the animal you adopt may not require all of these things, many other animals in our system do. Thus, any “extra” money from adoption fees goes to help those animals who may require additional care. By adopting from Homeward Trails, you are not saving just one life, you are helping to save others as well. Benefits for HT Adopters Every adopted Homeward Trails animal comes with 30 days of free pet health insurance. We are proud to partner with the following veterinarians who offer a free first exam for your animal, exclusively for HT adopters: Caring Hands Animal Hospital, Palisades Veterinary Clinic, Sunshine Animal Hospital and Clarendon Animal Care and all VCA Animal Hospitals. Additionally, any VCA hospital will cover illnesses up to $250 at no cost to any Homeward Trails adopter. We also provide a 30-minute phone consult with a professional dog trainer at Fur-Get Me Not within the first 30 days of adopting - just for HT adopters in the Arlington/Alexandria area. Start your new dog out on the right foot with this valuable, expert advice and guidance FREE! Our Foster Program Help us save more lives by becoming a foster! Fosters are like way stations between under resourced shelters and forever homes. We need fosters so that we can save dogs and cats 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/
