My story

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

Willie Needs A Savior!!

This 3 year old pup was adopted out at 11 months old to an older woman with dementia and other health issues. She never let her family into her home, so we have no idea what happened to Willie over the past 2 years. His owner is now in the hospital and the family cannot keep him. He is currently in boarding, waiting for someone to give him a second chance.

Willie needs someone experienced and patient to help him transition into a new home. We do not know much about his past, but he does not like when you stand over him or too much in his space. We believe that he needs time to build trust, and he will adjust well. He would do best in an adult only home. He seems to be fine aorund other dogs, but has not been officially dog tested.

Overall, Willie is very sweet, affectionate and looks for love. He has no resource guarding with food and will take treats gently from your hand and bring the ball back when you throw it.

This poor boy needs a chance. If The family can not afford to keep boarding him at Petco past next week. Willie needs a holiday miracle!!

More about this rescue

Road to Home was started to be able to focus on animals in need and to provide support to local rescues. After years of working in shelters and with rescues, we decided starting our own rescue was the best way to do what we do best! We are a 100 percent non-profit and 100 percent of the money we raise goes towards animals in need. Our 5013c is pending. Here’s what we will focus on:

-Providing guidance and support for re-homing an animal.
-Providing medical attention, training, spay/neuter, and food/supplies to a homeless animal.
-Pulling an animal from a euthanasia list or from an unsafe situation and placing them in a foster or permanent home.
-Working with rescues and shelters to facilitate adoptions by doing home checks, adoption applications, and networking to find foster or permanent homes for animals in need.
-Working with rescues and shelters to coordinate adoption events, food drives, and fundraisers.
-Raising money through a Chip-In to help specific dogs with training, medical needs, and adoption.
-Raising funds that can be allocated to specific needs of other rescues and shelters (including medical expenses, training expenses, food, and transport) as well as pledging money to animals in jeopardy of euthanasia.
