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 Bailey — a tiny 13-year-old senior girl, just 12 lbs of spry, sweet spirit, looking for a calm, understanding home where she can enjoy life at her own pace.Bailey came to us after her lifelong owner passed away. It was obvious just how loved she was, and now it's time to find her that same devotion in a new home.Bailey can be a little standoffish at first, but she has sweet moments where she'll come ask for attention, want help getting onto the couch or bed, or quietly follow her people around the house. She's surprisingly spry for her age! At night she gets playful zoomies and loves nothing more than a joyful play session with her favorite humans. Otherwise, she's perfectly content curled up at the end of your bed or snuggled beside you on the couch.Believe it or not, this girl LOVES the shower — she happily hops in with you and genuinely enjoys bath time, and she insists you dry her hair as well. Because she has sensitive skin and fine hair that mats easily (which can lead to skin infections if not managed), Bailey needs diligent grooming care, including regular brushing and baths, along with staying on top of flea and parasite prevention. She's received Cytopoint injections in our care and has done wonderfully on them.Bailey appears to be deaf and doesn't respond to her name or loud noises, but that doesn't slow her down one bit. She enjoys having her own space but is tolerant of other dogs and kids, and she prefers a peaceful environment where her boundaries are respected.She's mostly house trained as long as there is consistency with potty breaks. Bailey has also made it very clear that she is not a fan of the kennel and would much rather sleep cuddled up in bed beside her humans.Curious, independent, and endearingly quirky, Bailey needs someone patient and compassionate — someone who understands senior dogs and is willing to let her settle in at her own speed. In return, she offers quiet companionship, sweet moments of affection, and the occasional joyful zoomie to remind you she's still got plenty of spunk left.Based in Bryan, Texas.
