Homeward Trails Animal Rescue is a non-profit rescue providing pet adoption in the Virginia, Washington, DC and Maryland. Since 2001 we have found homes for more than 50,000 dogs and cats rescued from low-income, rural animal shelters; abandoned hunting dogs who are dumped in woods or left at shelters; owned pets whose owners can no longer care for them; and animals who have been injured, abused and neglected. We have helped internationally as well: we have rescued dogs from Thailand, China, Korea, Russia, Peru, Greece, Kuwait and Ukraine.

We actively seek to reduce the rate of euthanasia, support proactive spay/neuter practices, and educate the public about how to care for their animals in a humane way. We facilitate adoptions from local shelters and support a large network of foster care providers who take homeless dogs and cats into their homes, care for them, rehabilitate them when needed, and prepare them for their permanent adoptive homes.
