Homeward Trails

Homeward Trails Animal Rescue (HTAR) has saved tens of thousands of animals across the world. This non-profit 501(c)(3) organization provides pet rescue and adoption services in Virginia; Washington, DC; and Maryland. As our Virginia-based animal welfare partner, HTAR relies on the local community's generosity to further its mission, and corporate partnerships like ours are critical to its success.

HTAR also operates animal shelters in West Virginia, North Carolina, and Mississippi, where animals face euthanasia because of limited funds and inadequate space. Internationally, HTAR has rescued dogs from Thailand, China, Korea, Russia, Peru, Greece, and Kuwait, where cats roam the streets and the dog meat trade unleashes horrible abuse on dogs. HTAR also operates a full-time program in Puerto Rico, where the organization has rescued more than 450 dogs and provided trap-neuter-return (TNR) services for more than 500 cats.

“Chris has been a wonderful walker for my dog, Neko. Neko is a lazy beagle who doesn't always feel like going outside, especially in inclement weather, but he is always very patient and gentle with her in coaxing her out. Chris is courteous and prompt. As an added bonus, he also does great work for animal rescues and donates a portion of his business's proceeds to local shelters!”
