My story

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

Meet Ross!

Ross’s journey hasn’t been an easy one. Back in 2018, he and his littermates were found abandoned in a trashcan as tiny puppies. Luckily, they were rescued and given the chance to grow up surrounded by love.

For years, Ross enjoyed the good life—long walks, couch snuggles, and endless belly rubs. But after seven years and life changes, his world turned upside down. When his family could no longer keep him (due to accidentally knocking over grandkids), Ross found himself back with us.

When he first arrived at his foster home in early August, Ross was petrified and shut down. But with patience, gentle hands, and a calm environment, Ross began to realize he was safe again.

Now, this sweet 7-year-old shepherd mix is showing his true colors:
✨ He melts for belly rubs.
✨ He leans in for gentle kisses.
✨ He loves quiet affection and the simple comfort of being near his people.
✨ LOVES walks
✨ Cannot get enough of his squeaky toys

With the help of daily medications and time to decompress, Ross has blossomed into a loving, loyal companion. He’s ready for a fresh start in a home where he can feel safe, understood, and adored.
Could you be Ross’s second chance?To have your home considered for adoption, read about our adoption process or fees, and find out about interstate transport (dogs only), please visit our website.

Long Way Home makes no guarantees on breed--most animals we receive from shelters are mixed breeds. As long as they need rescue, that's what is most important to us.

More about this rescue

Long Way Home was created to provide the last stop for animals displaced from their homes, deemed "unadoptable" by other rescues, or that need a level of care their previous owners or other shelters are unable or unwilling to provide.
