Manny Law Adoption Center Sponsorships

Help provide a comfortable and enriching stay for our pups

The Homeward Trails Adoption Center opened in November 2013 allowing us to greatly increase the number of dogs we could rescue. Since we opened our doors more than 8,000 dogs have passed through the Adoption Center.

The Adoption Center, located at 11118 Fairfax Station Road, Fairfax Station, VA offers dogs needing extra socialization, additional confidence and extra time to get ready for adoption a safe and structured place. The dogs receive one-on-one and group training, playdates, and quiet time with our staff and volunteers.

We offer fun programs like Tails Out, which allows volunteers to take dogs for daytime or overnight field trips. We offer Peace Out Time in our Peace Out Rooms, special rooms in the Center Community Building complete with futons, chairs, televisions, desks, rugs, soft lighting and anything a human and dog need to “chill”. Volunteers can sign up to bring a book, study, meditate, watch television or just hang out with a dog who needs some time and space to decompress.

The facility is overseen by a full-time manager, behavioral and support staff who care for more than 50 dogs at any given time. The Adoption Center is open to the public on Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM – 4 PM and weekdays by appointment.

We have many exciting sponsorship and naming opportunities for animal lovers who wish to help carry on this dream come true. Your continued support will help pay for additional fencing, improvements, upgrades and supplies.

  • Helping Happy Hounds – Fee Waived Hound Adoptions

    As you may or may not know, Virginia animal shelters are filled with Hounds. These amazing dogs are most often discarded by callous hunters, found starving wandering the countryside. Many never make it as hunters and are then tied up to chains or left along the side of the road like old furniture. A good number of them do not make it out of shelters alive.But these dogs – like all dogs – are amazing and worthy of families. We just cannot get them families fast enough to stop them from dying in our shelters when there is no more space.And so we are trying something new here. ALL HOUND DOGS ADOPTED FROM HOMEWARD TRAILS WILL BE FREE. Yes, we are WAIVING ADOPTION FEES for Hounds for the foreseeable future.We hope that will entice well-matched applicants to consider a Hound now. Use the money you save on training, treats, toys.We think all dogs are worthy. But the reality is that some take extra incentives. Some have more barriers to getting adopted. And the result is well, more end up dying. And no – this does NOT mean we are just giving dogs away. All applicants will still go through our application/screening process to ensure good homes. This is just us trying to save more dogs by eliminating one more barrier to adoption. And hey, Hound lovers can use all the extra money they can get to buy treats, right?Help us help these Hounds. Our program Helping Happy Hounds is live NOW. Let’s save some lives!

  • Our Current Supply Needs – Can You Help?

    Each year Homeward Trail spends thousands and thousands of dollars on supplies to care for our animals and support the general operations of our organization. We always strive to keep our costs as low as possible so that we can spend every extra dollar saving more lives.  One simple way you can help is by donating these supplies – everything from postage stamps, to cleaning supplies, to ink cartridges and paper, to dog and cat food and litter. Our wish lists are updated regularly so you can always find our most current needs. Please consider donating supplies to help us cover the cost of these items. The more we are able to get donated, the more animals we can help. Thank you!
