Blossom Beagle & Hound Mix Fairfax Station, VA

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out our dog adoption questionnaire and e-mail it to sueb@homewardtrails.org.




Sweet Blossom came to us on a cold, cold February morning very, very pregnant. Just days later, she gave birth to 7 glorious puppies. She has been a fantastic mom and is a lovely, sweet, gentle dog. Blossom will make a perfect addition to your home. It was clear that this girl had not been well cared for and had other puppies prior to coming to us...but this litter will be her last. And now she will live a life of luxury!



NOTES FROM FOSTER FAMILY: Blossom is the perfect dog for a family of any size or an individual looking for a wonderful companion. Blossom is wonderful with our two small children ages 2 and 4 - she's patient, sweet and enjoys their affections. Our 2 year old son dumps piles of books around Blossom and waits for her to read to him. Our 4 year old daughter has to kiss Blossom goodnight each night and Blossom often will keep the kids company while they read books before tuck-in. Blossom enjoys going for walks, snuggling while watching TV and hanging out in the yard while we garden or on the deck with us while we grill and spend time with friends. Blossom is housebroken and well mannered - a true pleasure to have around. She is like a sponge and will soak up as much love and as many ear scratches you can give to her.



She loves kisses and cuddling. One of her favorite things is FOOD. Blossom loves the outdoors, sunshine, and nice walks. She needs to finally experience indoor living and a warm bed...forever. Blossom loves other dogs.

You can save animals like this one by becoming a foster! Fosters are like way stations between high kill shelters and forever homes. We need fosters so that we can save dogs before they are euthanized at the shelters. If you are interested in becoming a foster, please check out our information about fostering.
