My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Maya is a 4-5 year old rat terrier. She is an adult who is calm, sweet, eager to please, well mannered, and 100% potty trained. She came into a kill shelter VERY pregnant, and stayed throughout the birth and three months after. We took the puppies who got their very first taste of the real world the day they left the shelter because believe it or not, their entire life, from birth until the day we rescued them, was spent in a shelter. The pups had never touched grass or felt the sun on their skin for the first 8 weeks of their lives.

There were Dottie, Daisy, Darby, and Dylan. Daisy and Dylan broke with a severe strain of parvo. Daisy did not make it, but Dottie, Darby, and Dylan did and they have all been adopted.

People may swoon over tiny puppies, but mama Maya is much more easy to handle. She is past those crazy puppy stages, and now she is just the PERFECT family pet.

We ask for a minimum donation of $200 to adopt. This donation allows us to provide care to our sanctuary animals whom otherwise would be euthanized. Our Sanctuary maintains a caring, nurturing home life for pets deemed "unadoptable" or who have been diagnosed with a chronic or terminal illness. We create a safe, structured environment for the remainder of their lives, because every companion animal deserves a final chance to give and receive love.
With your donation, your future rescue dog will be:
1. Spayed or neutered.
2. Microchipped.
3. Current on rabies, bordetella, distemper and parvo vaccines.
4. Heartworm tested and current on monthly heartworm prevention. If they tested heartworm positive, they will be current on treatment.
5. Flea free and on monthly flea prevention.
6. Dewormed.
7. Provided with a lifetime guaranteed collar and leash from Lupinepet.com.

All of our rescue pets live in foster homes. Foster parents find out what the animals like or dislike, what type of family structure would serve them best, and which home environment would allow them to flourish. Because we have this information, Long Way Home does not use a “first come, first served” approach. We evaluate all approved applications based on what would be the perfect home for each particular animal based on their own unique personalities and needs. We are pleased you have chosen to adopt your next companion animal and honored that you have selected a Long Way Home rescue to become part of your family.
