Sponsor An Animal...Save a Life...

Help pups like Adrian who is currently living in a crate outdoors at an overcrowded
rural shelter

Our HT animal sponsor program features

but a few of  the hundreds of animals HomewardTrails is asked to rescue each week.

Space and

money are our greatest barriers to saying yes to each request.

As a  supporter of HT, you can help a great deal by making a donation [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001aNSltc3_4rw4lTGbjKoV9j-kFIWvp1iXAXl29wTdaZ3y6UuEqORquNz2CJW7jt-5gvic18KWRyE_Gh8458Gmn73GO9v3x_XuC0ZoLCzVgPs-oz54aEXMH75EzJ9MOR6ZTNQ4O1-76r1fmxJ0MN5peFrEM0WKE3kjylg-opZhb17O6oMH7rBChVr57CPSVA--WFZesTOLiDUno1A4aGoR6g4onYp6p7xnJe68l3VAtzLDLvWfP7_1BDN-oYtwU9VU&c=xfTIHAoQiaa_G34aA-YJgMm1B4Rx42vaty7H9_n9MylcNkmdhBCv-g==&ch=3OYZpn02NBizJG5Qy5qrA7LJBY7mIErYvHEQJ2bpi4osf--SpuYU7Q==]
to  offset the costs to rescue one of these animals.

On average, it costs  approximately $150 to rescue each dog and $100 to rescue each
cat. This  includes basic vet care provided by the shelters, fuel for transport,
  staff time, additional vaccines and housing once they arrive at HT.

We are now offering our wonderful family  of HT supporters the opportunity to donate
 [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001aNSltc3_4rw4lTGbjKoV9j-kFIWvp1iXAXl29wTdaZ3y6UuEqORquNz2CJW7jt-5P35_aqiWWbZR69e_hrzWSVSwGZQyUkPiMnJrYW92r5_JlqqqDgSktxF0HTrgkgaQNtwSuANOiiz-ni0pau0qpLrnCrFZbDTXIM0rsf0m_JMZq4kA3hD4okz4V1QNedNZpj3VjS7AD5-VGLjvmyUrfkBarN9CmfmdzOi1p5QT7IdxHau3HEqklGCf9iyedulV&c=xfTIHAoQiaa_G34aA-YJgMm1B4Rx42vaty7H9_n9MylcNkmdhBCv-g==&ch=3OYZpn02NBizJG5Qy5qrA7LJBY7mIErYvHEQJ2bpi4osf--SpuYU7Q==]to
a specific animal and  help us bring him/her to safety before time runs out.

Every donation saves the life of a specific animal ... and any donations greater
 than the  amount needed will be applied to others in need.

Please, consider a tax-deductible  donation today to help these animals. They deserve
a 2nd chance at life.  And together, we can give them that.

Featured Cat
Meet Daphne - the now FAMOUS blind kitty
Daphne was found outside with her eyes completely infected, in horrible pain and
 facing euthanasia if treatment was not possible right away. We have no idea how
 a kitten of this size in such horrible condition even survived a day on her own.
We have never seen a kitten in so much pain before. HT stepped up to take her in
 immediately and within 10 days after addressing her severe anemia, and the round-the-clock
care by her foster mom, she had surgery to remove both eyes.
She is now in foster loving life with her best friend, a Mastiff. She now needs 
a loving forever home. You would almost not know Daphne is blind by the way she 
gets around...she is the most inspirational little kitty ever....playing with toys,
running up stairs...she is a true wonder kitty!
She was even covered in this news piece [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001aNSltc3_4rw4lTGbjKoV9j-kFIWvp1iXAXl29wTdaZ3y6UuEqORquIqn7EZ_tccfI8oD9ri2zej2Awaog7QJ-UOf0wTOBo8rzmut4M76mdbQxZnylSsxcJ6t1TOW5v7wdUx1Aj3myJtUgIyI6tMNBQV8pVffGGkbPgR0oTb8p3ReeohkHx2YwxyZkOvBmDmwY8EPuWSgPQ3lfr-oO5NhS3zdiXpsF8YfeS0vD9X4kcM=&c=xfTIHAoQiaa_G34aA-YJgMm1B4Rx42vaty7H9_n9MylcNkmdhBCv-g==&ch=3OYZpn02NBizJG5Qy5qrA7LJBY7mIErYvHEQJ2bpi4osf--SpuYU7Q==]

Featured Dog
Marigold - 3 Legged Beauty

Poor Marigold spent years living outdoors at a hoarders. She had no love, no bed,
no medical care...and the entire time she wobbled around on 3 legs.
Marigold came to us almost a year ago     and is STILL looking for a loving home.
She is very sweet and loves a home environment. She's great with other dogs and 
cats...she just is shy and can become scared quickly. She needs a quiet, patient
 home and a loving family. Can that be you?
Marigold wants  nothing more than to be with a family for the holidays. Please, 
please share her story....she will warm your heart!

*Help Birdie Feel Better

Birdie  is a sweet, seven year old cat who was abandoned at the shelter along  with
her sister. Unfortunately, her sister was adopted, and she was left  alone. When
 we rescued Birdie we found that she loves people and a nice  sunny spot to sit 
in, but she was very thin. After taking her to the  vet we discovered she has hyperthyroid.
Although this was initially  controlled with medication, we then learned that Birdie
can no longer  take medicine and she has had a rough time ever since.

Thanks  to a generous donor Birdie was able to undergo Radio Cat (a radiation  treatment
to help her thyroid disorder) this October. We believe this  may alleviate her disease.
However, she will likely need a second  treatment because her thyroid levels are
 so high. Birdie also has left  us quite a bill with our vet for all the emergency
visits and pre-op  bloodwork. We need funds to cover the cost of Birdie's medical
care. Can  you help?

Help Birdie...

*Help Keep Norman from Starving
Can you help us help Norman? He is a beautiful 3  year-old Australian Shepherd mix
that Homeward Trails rescued from a  hoarding situation this summer. This poor boy
has an issue with his  esophagus that is preventing the food he is eating from getting
into his  stomach. He has kept himself from starving to death by twisting himself
 about to force the food into his stomach. Norman is going to need significant amount
of testing and possibly surgery. Additionally, Norman needs to eat while sitting
 upright in the "begging" position. He needs a  special chair called a Bailey Chair,
built to support him in this  position while he eats. Please help us ease these 
costs.

On October 25 & 26th, students from James Madison University  participating in Alternative
Break spent the weekend volunteering at our  Adoption Center.  Our dogs LOVED the
extra one-on-one time and our  Center staff appreciated the extra hands cleaning
 & organizing.  We  are so appreciative of these students spending their break with
our  dogs!

HUGE Thanks to Arthur, George & Maggie Nichols who visited our Feline Friends at
 Kitty City and brought donations they had collected.

Thank you PetsRMe petsitters for hosting a fundraising and donation drive which 
brought in lots of donated goods and over $700 in monetary donations.

A big shout out to Fairlington Presbyterian Church for   raising $152 from their
