Elaine Gets Her New Home!

Today is an exciting day for Elaine and her friends at Homeward Trails and Dog Paws University - the great doggie day care facility that has cared for her since she came from the shelter to Northern Virginia.

Today is the day that Elaine goes home with her new "dad" Chris. YAY!!! We know that Elaine will miss her two and four pawed friends but also know that she's going to love sleeping in her own bed with a human just a few feet away and she'll love getting pets and belly rubs pratically on demand.

Now that Elaine is in a home and can be keep calm during the day, she will start treatment to rid her of heartworm. We still need funds to pay for Elaine's heartworm treatments. Please consider buying a raffle tix to help Elaine. You can find a list of the really impressive prizes at http://theothebeagle.blogspot.com/

Elaine Wants A Home

Elaine is a super sweet 50 lb white and lemon hound. She is just LOVES people! Elaine was picked up as a stray in rural VA and brought to the shelter. She made herself a favorite right away - Elaine is the kind of girl who will climb into your heart as easily as she will climb into your lap.

She is between 1-2 years old and full of play but not super high energy. We haven't been able to find a foster home for Elaine - thanks to a generous donor, she's been able to spend her days at a cageless boarding facility where she gets to run around with the other dogs during the day. But the money for the boarding is almost gone and this is not the ideal place for Elaine. We would love to get Elaine in a foster home or better yet, find her an adopter.

Elaine has heartworm. We have reason to believe that Elaine hasn't have heartworm for long and so it is not at all advanced. But it is important for her to start her heartworm treatment soon and she needs to be living in a home before it can start.

Please spread the word about Elaine. Please consider making a donation to Homeward Trails in her name to help cover her boarding and to help pay for her heartworm treatment. THANK YOU!
