#PawPromise Adoptable Dog of the Week: Truman

Truman

Truman

Hi! My name is Truman, just like the 33rd President of the United States. I may never get to live in The White House, but I hope to win the position of First Fido in a forever home this Pawsidential year!


Truman 2I've been told that I'm a very smart boy! I'm house trained, I've learned how to “sit” and, like all politicians, I know how to shake hands (or, in my case, paws!) I'm a mellow fellow, although I can feel uneasy in new situations. I would probably unwind a lot faster if I had a four-pawed pal to play with in my new home! So contact Homeward Trails Animal Rescue to meet me, and to paraphrase the famous man I was named after: “If you want a friend in Washington (or Virginia, or Maryland!), get a dog!”


A three-year-old Hound, Truman has been neutered and is up to date with his vaccinations. Heartworm positive, Truman is in need of treatment to be rid of the parasites.


Truman is just one of the many dogs, cats, puppies and kittens who are one step closer to finding a forever home thanks to Homeward Trails Animal Rescue. Saving 1,431 dogs and 853 cats in 2015 alone, since 2001 the Arlington, Virginia-based non-profit organization has rescued companion animals who are facing their fate in high-kill shelters in Virginia, Washington, DC and Maryland.


Help the Adoptables of the Week with Your PawZaar Purchases!


Ten percent of the week's proceeds from purchases in our PawZaar store will be donated to help the adoptable dog and cat of the week. Help with your purchases of our pet-friendly jewelry, bags, cookie cutters, and more!

Traveling to Europe with Your Dog #infographic

Through the years, we've been incredibly lucky to have had numerous travel assignments take us to Europe. Although the bulk of our travel guidebook work involved the Caribbean and Texas, one guidebook took us to Cyprus and many magazine assignments took us to destinations ranging from Paris to Prague to Pompeii. Wherever we went, we took the opportunity to meet local dogs:


us-swiss-dogs2


Never, however, did we get the chance to take a dog with us. We've always shared our hearts with large dogs, and we'd never consider flying a dog too large to travel in the cabin unless we were moving.


If you, however, have a small dog and are considering a vacation in Europe later this year, we've got an infographic to share. It's important to make those plans EARLY because international travel involves paperwork undertaken on a strict schedule. You'll need to have your veterinarian document your pet's immunizations and preventatives on a fixed schedule that varies by destination.


Wherever you may go, happy travels!

Shelter Saturday: May 28

As people from coast to coast celebrate the unofficial start of summer this Memorial Day weekend, dogs in animal shelters across America are hoping that the beginning of a new season will bring with it the start of a new life in a forever home.


Each year an estimated 3.9 million dogs wind up in U.S. animal shelters. You can join the effort to change this staggering statistic by sharing photos of shelter animals via social media. Following are a few of the homeless dogs we highlighted this past week on Twitter. For a look at more adorable adoptables who are looking for families to love, and for the latest news of animal-loving luminaries who show their support for various paws causes, follow us at @HollywoodDogs.
