Homeward Trails Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing a haven for stray, abandoned, and abused animals. Since its inception in 2000, Homeward Trails has rescued and rehomed over 25,000 animals, transforming their lives and bringing joy to countless families.
The number of homeless animals in the United States is staggering. According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), approximately 3.1 million dogs and cats enter shelters annually. Of these, nearly 670,000 are euthanized due to overcrowding or lack of adopters.
Homeward Trails is committed to reducing these alarming numbers. Through its comprehensive rescue, adoption, and education programs, the organization strives to:

Hope
Hope was a timid, injured puppy when she arrived at Homeward Trails. She had been hit by a car and suffered from a broken leg. Thanks to the care and love she received at the shelter, Hope made a full recovery and found a loving home with a family who adored her.
Samson
Samson was a neglected dog who came to Homeward Trails with severe malnutrition and a skin infection. Through patient rehabilitation and a dedicated foster family, Samson blossomed into a healthy, playful, and affectionate dog. He was eventually adopted by a family who provided him with the love and attention he deserved.
Bella
Bella was a senior cat who spent most of her life as a stray. When she was brought to Homeward Trails, she was timid and scared. With the help of staff and volunteers, Bella learned to trust humans again. She was eventually adopted by a retired couple who gave her the loving home she had longed for.
