MORE ABOUT THIS DOG:

Acorn may be small, but he’s full of personality! The most vocal of the litter, he’s quick to express himself with tiny growls and playful barks, often leading the pack when it’s time for fun. Beneath that bold exterior is a sensitive, loyal pup who thrives on attention and reassurance. Acorn is sure to grow into a spirited companion with plenty of love (and opinions!) to share.

IMPORTANT:

Please make your spay/neuter appointment with us or your own vets WELL IN ADVANCE of the due date

as several factors including severe veterinarian shortage continue to impact vet appointments and

surgical procedures so please plan way ahead!

Our low-cost spay/neuter option is approximately 70% less expensive than what most vets charge.

Please do your research BEFORE selecting an adoption fee package. You will have to bring your pet

to/from the Adoption Center if you choose to do the spay/neuter through HT.

If you select the package with spay and neuter, rabies is only included if your puppy is being spayed or

neutered at 4 months old. If the procedure is done after that for any reason, rabies is not included and

would be an additional cost to you.

All adoption fees help not only to rescue the animal being adopted but generates revenue to pay for the

hundreds of sick and injured animals we take in every year.

New Adoption Benefit Program

Kathleen Alvania

CTC, CPDT-KA, FFCP

Family Paws Parent Educator

https://treatsandtriumphs.com/

Kathleen has a class called Puppy Dream Team, and it's for puppies from 3-8 months old at the

start date. The goal is to bridge the gap between early puppy classes and adult

manners/obedience, and to help set puppies and their families up for success in adolescence.

The class is open enrollment, so puppy "teams" can start whenever it works for them, then they

attend 5 classes in a row. They also get a private, 45-minute orientation (in-person or virtual)

before their first class. Tuition is $330.

Homeward Trails EXCLUSIVE Discounts

● For the first 3 months, I'd like to offer all adopters with eligible puppies 10% off.

● Fosters with eligible puppies can attend for free any week there's an open slot. They

don't have to attend all 5 weeks. (Since it's open enrollment, each session is designed

to be able to stand on its own.)

● Staff can attend the entire course and private orientation for free.

If you want to take advantage of these discounts email Kathleen at
