Daisy's Story

-ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 35-40 lbs -ESTIMATED AGE: 10 months (as of 2/13/25) -KNOWN WITH DOGS: Daisy came from a home with a LOT of dogs from a rural shelter partner. Dogs help Daisy feel more comfortable, and she would like to go to a home with another, confident dog to help her learn and grow. -KNOWN WITH CATS: We do not know how Daisy is with cats at this time, but our team can talk you through how to do introductions. -KNOWN WITH KIDS: Daisy can be nervous around a lot of hustle and bustle and would prefer a home with older kids of adults. -KNOWN CUES: Sit, working on Paw. -KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: Daisy is housetrained and settles nicely in her crate. -KNOWN LIKES: Treats, snuggles with trusted friends, other dogs, people who go at her own speed. -KNOWN DISLIKES: Taking on new things too quickly, busy urban environments. Notes from the foster: Meet Daisy! Daisy is an incredibly sweet and gentle soul who's still learning what it means to feel safe and loved. She's very quiet-she rarely cries, though she will whimper a bit when separated from her person because she bonds deeply. Daisy's favorite things right now are simple: treats, soft places to curl up, and gentle snuggles. She loves being near people she trusts and will melt right into you once she feels secure. Right now, Daisy is too nervous to walk on a leash and prefers to hide outside, so she'll need a patient adopter who can slowly help her build confidence and socialize. Despite her fears, there's a bright spark of affection and trust in her eyes. With consistency, love, and time, Daisy will blossom into the loyal, loving companion she's meant to be. She's a shy girl with a heart full of potential-someone special just needs to show her the world isn't so scary after all.

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.
