One thing we might love almost as much as working with our amazing clients at Expand Psychology … is puppies!

Our team spent a cozy Fall afternoon with Homeward Trails Animal Rescue, meeting their adorable adoptable pups and supporting their mission to rehome thousands of dogs (and cats!) rescued from under-resourced communities. Nothing brings people together quite like wagging tails, good company, and leftover Halloween candy.

Thinking about adding a furry friend to your family before Winter? Reach out to Homeward Trails Animal Rescue in Fairfax Station!
