My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Sweet Lilly!

Sweet Lilly is an adult, 55-lb. mix with a beautiful brindle coat. She has a lot going for her! She has an energy level many would consider ideal: she is calm and laid back in a home but still enjoys a romp in the yard (a fenced yard is required for her), playing fetch, or a forest preserve walk. Sweet Lilly already knows commands and is fully house-trained. She doesn't have accidents, is not a barker, and is not destructive when you leave her loose. Sweet Lily enjoys car rides. She would like to be the one and only dog in your home, but she does not act up if she sees another dog and has done well on pack walks. What makes Sweet Lilly a dog that is not for everyone is that once she settles in at a home, she becomes protective of things she considers "hers," including toys, beds, and people. Although she has never hurt anyone, Lilly needs an adults-only home for this reason. Sweet Lilly comes with free in-home training and ongoing support to ensure that her people know how to handle her proclivity for resource guarding. We are certain that Lilly can and will thrive in the right home, with the right support, and will make a wonderful companion.

Our adoption shows are every Saturday from 11-3 at PetsMart stores in Schaumburg (1440 E Golf Rd), Streamwood (61 Irving Pk. Rd.), and Bloomingdale (162 S Gary Avenue). We make every effort to have each one of our available animals at a show each weekend. The schedule can be found on our web site www.almosthomefoundation.org under Adopt and is updated the Friday evening prior to the Saturday show.

More about this rescue

We are in need of Foster Homes for our homeless animals!!! Can you help?

What is a Foster Home?
A foster home takes in one of our homeless animals rather than boarding them at the kennel and cares for it until we find a permanent loving home. Almost Home Foundation pays for the all animal's food and medical expenses. The foster home learns the animal's temperament and behaviors. The foster home learns if they get along with other animals. The foster home provides insights on the animals that helps Almost Home Foundation look for the right home for the animal.

Please help!! Just fill out this form and we will contact you or call 630-582-3738 and leave a message letting us know that you are interested in fostering!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are an all-volunteer, registered, not-for-profit 501c3 animal rescue group. Our mission is to save adoptable dogs and cats from being destroyed by finding permanent, loving homes. For details, visit us online at www.almosthomefoundation.org.

Almost Home Foundation is always looking for volunteers to handle dogs at adoption shows, set up adoption shows, write for the newsletter, photograph events, or foster animals. For a list of opportunities, visit online at www.volunteermatch.org
or www.almosthomefoundation.org.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are a Rescue not a Shelter. This simply means we do not own a building where we house animals. We look for loving foster homes that will give temporary care and love on the animal’s journey to a permanent, loving home. When a foster home is not available, we will board the animal at a boarding kennel.

Our 5-year goal is to have a shelter. This is an aggressive goal that will take many donations and memberships. We will strive for this goal with a great team of volunteers and help from people like you! Please become a member, become a sponsor or make a donation.

Our animals are found strayed and brought in from the police. After being held for 7 days, we evaluate the temperament of the animal and determine if the animal is suitable to be a pet. On rare occasion, we will also rescue animals that are in desperate situations where the rescue makes the difference between life and death. We do not accept Owner Give-ups.
