Story
Mimi's glow-up has been about so much more than a haircut!She came to us as part of a cruelty and hoarding case, completely matted and understandably unsure about the people around her. Her coat was in such rough shape that she had to be shaved down, and emotionally, she needed some time too. We let Mimi move at her own pace and learn that people could be safe.And look at her now! Her coat has grown back, she's looking absolutely glamorous, and the cautious little dog who first arrived has blossomed into the sweetest, most devoted companion.Mimi may still need a little time to decide you're trustworthy, but once she does, congratulations, you've acquired a shadow! She wants to be in your lap, curled up at your feet, or somewhere nearby where she can keep an eye on you. At bedtime, she'd love nothing more than to snuggle into bed and sleep touching her person.She's pretty laid back, house trained, and gets along well with people and other dogs. Mimi is happy to share her home with canine friends, although if another dog is pestering her, she'll give a little growl to politely remind them that a girl is entitled to some personal space!Considering where Mimi started, seeing her learn to relax, trust, and seek out affection has been pretty incredible. Now that she's finished her physical glow-up, there's just one thing missing: a family of her own!Mimi 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.Nationwide transport available, thanks to our Flight Transport partners with SWATT Transport and that flies in cabin with Southwest Airlines.Dog adoptions are $250, and if you need nationwide transport, it's an extra $250 for the flight, USDA health certificate, flight carrier, and all materials needed.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 Zolo—short for Zoloft, your daily dose of adorable! 💛 Side effects may include excessive cuddling, a full camera roll, and never going to the bathroom alone.With his long tongue constantly hanging out, disproportionately large paws, and bow legs that make us go “huh… how did all this come together?” Zolo is an unforgettable little package. We have questions about his assembly, but absolutely no complaints. 😂This happy boy just wants to be part of the gang! He loves dogs big and small and is friendly with cats, whether they want to be buddies or politely decline his friendship. He can be a little enthusiastic about introductions, but after a day or two, he settles into life with the pack. He eats separately from his foster siblings and already knows his dining spot—table for one, please!Zolo’s hobbies include car rides, snacks, short walks when it’s cool enough, brief sunbathing sessions, and supervising your every move. His dream job? Full-time companion, with unlimited lap privileges. He even uses little doggie stairs to get onto the couch and bed. Independent transportation to the cuddle department! 🥹Zolo does have past trauma, so trust takes time. He doesn’t like being picked up or touched with feet and may growl when he’s uncomfortable. That’s his way of asking for space, and he needs people who listen, respect his boundaries, and let him settle in at his own pace. In just a few weeks with his foster, he’s already become much more comfortable and rarely growls. Under that initially sassy exterior is a deeply affectionate little love bug.His ideal home is calm, without small children, and with someone home much of the day. He enjoys little backyard outings throughout the day and then heading back inside to his people. His sturdy little bow legs generally keep up with him, though they can shake after too much activity, so a gentle pace suits him.He’s smart, too: he learned his new name in just two weeks! He asks to go outside and will also use a washable pad. His foster reports good vision and hearing, and he takes his twice-daily eye medication without a fuss.Zolo’s prescription for happiness? Patience, a peaceful home, furry friends, and a person who loves having a little shadow. Give him time to feel safe, and he’ll happily fill your days—and your lap—with love.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
Meet Pippa! 🐾Pippa is about 4 years old, 13 lbs, and has a way of stealing the heart of just about everyone she meets. She was surrendered to a shelter near Abilene, and it was clear she needed plenty of TLC. Thankfully, her foster momma stepped up and has made incredible progress with her, giving Pippa all the love, patience, and care she needed—including regular medicated baths to help her skin heal and feel better. Despite her rough start, Pippa has held onto the sweetest, happiest personality and is absolutely full of love. 🥹Pippa is the perfect mix of playful and cuddly. She loves starting her mornings with a nice long walk, lounging on the patio in the fresh air, and playing with the other dogs in her foster home. When the day starts winding down, she is more than ready to hop onto the couch, squeeze in a little more playtime, and eventually curl up beside her person for a cozy nap.🥰She absolutely adores affection and will happily accept all the snuggles, kisses, and floppy-ear rubs you are willing to give! Pippa is also incredibly attentive to her people and simply loves being included. Whether you are heading out for a walk, relaxing on the couch, or just moving from room to room, she is happiest when she gets to be part of it. 💗And did we mention what a polite little lady she is? Pippa takes treats ever so gently, happily heads into her crate when she hears, “Let’s eat!”, and even does wonderfully for baths! Pippa is potty trained, crate trained, dog friendly, and wonderful with kids and toddlers. 🐶She could thrive with an active family and children, a retired person looking for a loving companion, or really anyone searching for a playful, affectionate best friend to share life with!🏡Are you ready to give this very special girl the forever home she deserves?📍Pippa is being fostered in Abilene, Texas. We offer nationwide adoptions and transport!💌Visit our website for the direct link to apply!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
Moo is a mature adult Shih Tzu with a huge personality and an even bigger heart. He came to Cactus Ranch Rescue from a kill shelter in the Rio Grande Valley after arriving in rough condition with severe matting, a painful skin infection, and some weight to gain. Despite everything he has been through, Moo is one of the happiest little guys around. He is sweet, affectionate, friendly, and does great with other animals. He loves attention, enjoys being close to his people, and seems genuinely grateful for every bit of comfort and kindness he receives. Moo is also missing his top front teeth and has an adorable little underbite that only adds to his charm. He is currently still healing and is not quite ready to head home yet, but we are accepting applications from families interested in pre-adopting him. Moo would do wonderfully with someone looking for a loving, easygoing companion who just wants a soft place to land and a family of his own.
