My story

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

Roxy was rescued from a massive backyard breeding/hoarding situation back in November. She was one of a number of pregnant females. Some of these rescued dogs were super social and others not so much. Roxy is one that had to overcome a lot of anxiety and learn to trust. Her foster mom's time, patience, and effort paid off because Roxy now adores her. Roxy still gets nervous if things are too fast, sudden, or loud. She is working on potty training. She will go potty outside in the fenced yard but does still have accidents.

On January 15th, Roxy had 5 sweet little girls. She has been an amazing mama! She keeps a very close eye on her pups and always wants to know where they are. She has done her job as a mama, and that was the very last time she'll ever have to. Now it's her time!

Roxy isn't your social butterfly that wants to meet everyone. But once you have her trust, you mean the world to her! She loves other dogs, getting zoomies in the yard, finding all the dog toys and chews (and sometimes even that occasional thing she shouldn't). You can hardly blame her; this is her first time roaming around a house instead of living in a crate.

Do you have it in your heart to win Roxy over? Please fill out an application if you do.

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.
