Story
Minnie is a sweet senior Maltipoo who has already endured far more than any little dog should. She and Prince came to Cactus Ranch Rescue after spending about a year living outdoors in a San Antonio backyard through the Texas heat. When Minnie arrived, it was immediately clear how badly she had been neglected medically. Her mouth was one of the worst we have seen — severely infected, painful, and full of rotting teeth. She also has damage to one of her eyes from a previous untreated infection, along with arthritis and instability in both back knees. Despite all of that, Minnie is still an incredibly loving, happy little girl. ❤️ She is currently receiving the medical care she has needed for far too long, including pain management, dental care, and treatment to help keep her comfortable and moving. 🐾 Senior Maltipoo ❤️ Sweet, affectionate & loving 🛏️ VERY appreciative of a soft, cozy indoor life 🦷 Receiving extensive dental care 👀 Can still see despite previous eye damage 🦴 Receiving treatment for arthritis and wobbly back knees 🏡 Ready for someone to spoil her rotten Minnie is believed to possibly be Prince’s mom, and we would absolutely love to see these two find a forever home together if the right family comes along. After everything they have been through side by side, watching them spend their golden years together would be pretty special. 🥹 Minnie’s body may tell the story of years without proper care, but her personality tells you something completely different: she is happy, loving, forgiving, and so ready to be somebody’s baby. She deserves soft blankets, good food, air conditioning, cuddles, and a family who makes up for every day she went without.

We are OBSESSED with Zeppy! Just look at this little man. Need we say more? Okay, fine… we’ll tell you about him. 😍🐾Meet Zeppy—known to his friends as Zepbound, because he’s bound to steal your heart! At 10 years old and just 10 pounds, this sweet, snuggly boy is happiest curled up on a comfy couch with his favorite toys and his people close by. 💙He’s a low-key little guy who gets along with everyone, including kids, and enjoys the company of other mellow dogs. He just appreciates a little personal space—being trampled on isn’t his idea of a good time!Zeppy feels comfortable in his crate, where he also enjoys his meals separately from other pets. He’ll need some patience and help with house-training, and while he can be anxious when his people first leave, he usually settles down. A family who understands his gentle pace and gives him time to adjust would mean so much to him.Zeppy does have a heart murmur, so his forever family will need to keep his health needs in mind alongside all those well-deserved snuggles!Could you be the person this little man is Zep-bound to find? 💕To apply to have your home considered for adoption, read about our adoption process or fees, and find out about interstate transport, please visit our website at https://longwayhome.org/adopt.❤ Long Way Home makes no guarantees on breed--most animals we receive from shelters are mixed breeds.

While we can't replace what she lost, we're determined to find her another family to love.This sweet little girl is a world-class cuddler! Lacey loves to snuggle right up beside her person and is happiest when she's close to the people she loves. She's even starting to show her playful side, and it's been so much fun watching her personality blossom.Lacey gets along wonderfully with other dogs and has been living peacefully with five of them in her foster home. She also previously lived with a cat, so she already knows how to share her home with feline friends. She's house trained and has all the manners you'd expect from a dog who's spent her life as part of a family.If you're looking for a gentle companion who will happily curl up beside you at the end of the day, Lacey is ready to fill that role.Lacey is currently being fostered in Bryan, Texas, but don't let distance stop you.

Story
Zomi Deschanel may have arrived looking a little less Hollywood and a little more "I've been through some things," but her comeback era has officially begun!This sweet senior Maltese came to her finder completely matted, so underneath all that tangled fur was only one option: a fresh start and a very short haircut. Her beautiful Maltese coat will grow back, but we happen to think she's pretty darn cute in her current buzz-cut era too!Zomi is a gentle, sweet girl whose whole world has recently been turned upside down. She's still a little nervous and anxious as she figures out where she is, who all these new people are, and whether this new life is safe. Each day, though, she's settling in a little more and letting her sweet personality peek through. What she needs most is a patient family who will give her time to exhale and realize she's finally home.She's also a little hard of hearing, but she's definitely not deaf. She may not catch every sound, especially from a distance, but she does hear and responds to what's going on around her.And then there are Zomi's adorably wiggly hips! Her back end isn't quite as steady as it used to be, so if she gets going too fast or trots for too long, her hind legs can slip out from underneath her. She gets around and enjoys life, she just needs a family who understands that she's more of a leisurely stroll girl than a marathon runner these days.More than anything, Zomi Deschanel is a tender little senior trying to make sense of a very big life change. She's already showing us that underneath the nerves, the questionable haircut, and those wobbly little hips is an incredibly sweet girl who just wants to feel safe and loved.We think Zomi's next chapter should include soft beds, gentle hands, plenty of snacks, and a family who thinks senior girls deserve the star treatment!Zomi Deschanel is currently being fostered in Bryan, Texas, but don't let distance stop you! We offer nationwide transport to the nearest major city, making it easy for the right family to welcome her home, no matter where you live. Additional transport fee is $250, through our partnership with SWATT Transport, where they fly with a flight nanny in cabin with Southwest Airlines.Nationwide transport available, thanks to our Flight Transport partners with SWATT Transport and that flies in cabin with Southwest AirlinesDog adoptions are $250, and if you need nationwide transport, it's an extra $250 for the flight and all materials needed.
