Story
Meet Peppa Pawdu! At 14 years old, Peppa has earned the right to enjoy the finer things in life: sunny spots, leisurely walks, belly rubs, car rides, and plenty of naps.🥹💛Peppa (formerly Erkyah Pawdu) was adopted from our program in 2024, but through no fault of her own, recently found herself back in rescue. While we're sad she's back, her foster family has quickly fallen in love with this sweet senior girl.Peppa is the perfect mix of independent and affectionate. She enjoys having her own space but will happily wander over when she's ready for scratches, belly rubs, and a little extra love. 🥰This sweet girl is hard of hearing, enjoys a slower pace of life, and is happiest in a calm home where she can relax and enjoy her golden years. Like many senior dogs, Peppa has some age-related spinal arthritis, but with her daily medication she's comfortable and happy!💊Peppa's favorite things include: 🐾Her slow walks🚘Car rides🌤Spending time outside🍗 Meal time! She's not a picky girl! Weight management is very important for Peppa for her spinal arthritis!One of her most unique qualities? Her adorable little "yodel." When she thinks she's home alone, she'll occasionally let out a funny howl that's somewhere between a yodel and a conversation. Because of this, she'd thrive in a home where her people are around most of the time or can bring her along on adventures.🏡🚗Peppa gets along with respectful dogs but would likely be happiest as the center of someone's world or with a calm, low-key canine companion. A backyard or doggy door would be a huge bonus since she enjoys frequent trips outside.🐶📍Based in Bryan, Texas. We offer nationwide adoptions and transport! 💌Visit our website for the direct link to apply/to learn more about the adoption process!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.

Story
Buddy may have had a rough first impression at the shelter, but don't let that fool you. This little guy has one of the biggest hearts around.When Buddy arrived at the shelter, he was absolutely terrified. The unfamiliar sights, sounds, and stress left him so scared that he became snappy with staff. Once he was given the chance to decompress in a loving foster home, though, his true personality shined through... and it's impossible not to fall in love with him.Buddy is a gentle little gentleman who loves nothing more than snuggling under the covers with his favorite person. If you're looking for a tiny cuddle buddy who wants to be close, Buddy is more than happy to fill that role. He's also the self-appointed "activity police," occasionally letting the younger dogs know when he thinks playtime has gotten a little too rowdy.Like many older dogs, Buddy appreciates having his boundaries respected. He may grumble or gently mouth if he's feeling bothered, but he's never bitten his foster mom. Because of this, he'd do best in a home with adults or older, dog-savvy children who understand that every dog deserves a little personal space.Buddy is house trained, gets along well with people and other dogs, and has wonderful house manners. He's happiest curled up in bed beside his person, soaking up pets and enjoying the quiet life.The part we can't understand? Buddy has received zero adoption applications. We know the perfect person is out there. Maybe they just haven't met him yet.If you're looking for a loyal little companion with a heart full of love and a lap full of cuddles to give, Buddy is waiting to meet you.Buddy is currently being fostered in Bryan, Texas, but don't let distance stop you. We offer nationwide transport to the nearest major city at no additional cost, making it easy for the right family to welcome him home, no matter where you live.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.

Story
Meet Tiki! Tiki is a one-year-old retired mama who's finally ready for a life where she gets to be the one cared for. This sweet girl can't get enough cuddles and would happily spend all day curled up in your lap, soaking up every bit of love she's missed. People are Tiki's favorite thing in the world, and she's always ready to shower her humans with affection. When she's not snuggling, Tiki loves to let loose! She enjoys zooming around the yard, chasing a ball, and playing fetch. She's the perfect mix of playful and cuddly. Tiki gets along wonderfully with other dogs and loves having canine friends to play with. She also doesn't mind cats, making her a great fit for many different types of homes. After spending her young life void of love and care, Tiki deserves the chance to simply be someone's baby. She's looking for a patient, loving family who will help her leave her past behind, heal from a life of neglect, and discover what it means to be cherished. If you're looking for a loyal best friend with endless love to give, Tiki is ready to fill your home—and your heart.

Story
Meet Bodie! 🤎 Bodie is a 20-pound terrier mix (possibly Basenji or Rat Terrier) with a huge personality and an even bigger heart. Currently undergoing heartworm treatment, this sweet boy is looking for a patient, understanding home where he can continue to thrive. Bodie is incredibly loyal and affectionate with his people. Once he bonds with you, he wants nothing more than to be your shadow, cuddle up beside you, and sleep snuggled close like a teddy bear. He loves to play, is potty trained, has made great progress with marking behaviors, and knows how to sit and patiently wait for his meals. Bodie would do best with a dog-savvy female adopter who is looking for a devoted best friend. He can be wary of men and takes time to build trust. He also needs a home without cats and will need an adopter who can continue managing his resource guarding around bones and his desire to be the "alpha" in certain situations. For the right person, Bodie will be an incredibly loyal companion. He forms deep bonds with those he trusts and is the kind of dog who will always be by your side through life's ups and downs. If you're looking for a loving, devoted sidekick and are willing to give Bodie the understanding he deserves, he may be the perfect match for you.
