My Story

Introducing Humphrey – the come back kid! This guy has been through a lot – he was seized on a cruelty charge and turned over to our rescue group. He came to us severely matted with major wounds on his body especially his neck. But he has had surgery and the outward scars have healed and he is a handsome guy now. Life was hard on him mentally too and he was diagnosed with doggie dementia and acted a bit “lost in space” when we first got him. However, he has made great strides in his foster home to the point where it is not noticeable (though something that may resurface as he ages). Now that he has a routine and is feeling secure, his personality is starting to shine. And he even has found some things that make him wag his tail!
He is a little wobbly on his feet but even that has improved and gets around very well both in the house and in his foster Mom’s yard which he enjoys exploring. He can’t go for a long walk, but perhaps a short one or a longer one in a dog stroller would be enjoyable. He is so sweet and appreciates when someone shows him kindness and gentleness. He is a mellow guy that just wants an easy going retirement home. He enjoys being petted and can be easily picked up – he really isn’t into being cuddled yet but he does like to be near people. And he accepts belly rubs! He slept a lot when he was first rescued and still does, but he is also starting to like being part of household activities more and more. His favorite activity is still nap time though!!
Humphrey needs a calm, peaceful home without young children due to his health. He likely won’t alert you that he needs to go potty, but if you take him outside, he will usually go. He is also currently being trained on a puppy pad and may have accidents. He is good with cats – just ignores them. He is also very good with other calm dogs – he ignores them too. It might not be a good match to have him with active ones that want to play rough, but in general, company is probably good for him. In fact, he just got a foster sister, Poppy, who he adores so if you are wanting a pair, they would enjoy going to a home together! He loves eating and getting special treats!
Humphrey is senior (10+ years) and weighs 14 pounds. So can you be a hero to Humphrey? He is currently being fostered in Waco, TX so fill out an application if you are interested in meeting him.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.

Adoption Application

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.
