PLEASE VISIT THIS WEBSITE TO FIND THE ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE: http://www.homewardtrails.org/adopt-a-pet/adoption-forms/ Hi! My name is Mary Ann and I'm told that I'm a lovely young hound with beautiful eyes and very sweet expressions. I'm a bit modest, so I would be blushing now if I could! I gave birth to 11 puppies on September 14th and was an excellent mamma to them until they all went to homes with humans of their own. I am a shy girl when meeting new people but I get along great with other dogs and really need a home with a confident dog to help me learn that the world isn't so scary. Believe it or not, I LOVED the cats I lived with in my first foster home! (What's not to love??) I'm still a bit intimidated by people I don't know, but I'm learning that they're not so bad if we go slow. In fact, some of them give me yummy treats! Although I might be a bit wary of adults, this is not the case with kids. I love kids!! They're closer to my size and lots of fun to be around. I would love if you could turn my dreams of being adopted into reality, so let's plan on meeting real soon! Fill out the application so I can learn a bit about you too. The adoption fee for this dog is $400. This fee INCLUDES spay and microchip. 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! You can save animals like Mary Ann by becoming a foster! Fosters are like way stations between high kill shelters and forever homes. We need fosters so that we can save dogs 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/
