My story

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

As a pup Brody and his siblings were found running in an abandoned parking lot, where they were abandoned. He had worms and was covered in fleas and ticks. Luckily at AHF his foster family was able to nurse him back to health and give him a fresh start in life. His foster family fell in love and adopted him, but as his health and energy improved he unfortunately became too much for the established senior dog in the home. The increasing conflict wasn't fair to either of the dogs, so in order to give Brody the best chance at a happy life the difficult decision was made to allow Brody to find a more suitable forever home.

Brody is a big boy and very high energy. Brody loves to play with everything and anything and had yet to find a toy he cannot conquer. He needs some training to learn what is acceptable to play with and what is not. One of his favorite things is Himalayan cheese chews! These last him at least a few days. Brody also loves ice cubes! He enjoys running and jumping, playing catch, looking out the window, car rides, and just enjoying life. While he is not a huge snuggle bug, he does occasionally like to snuggle up close to his people.

Brody has not spent a lot of work on leash and still needs some work in that area. He is crate trained.

The ideal home for him would be with an active and experienced owner. He would enjoy being an only dog or with an equal energy dog. A fenced yard would be recommended due to his energy level. It's unknown if Brody is tolerant to cats. He would do best with older children.

Adoption fee is $320

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.
