My story

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

 
Available for adoption!
Alena is a female Great Dane who is around 6 years old. She is 120 lbs of pure love!
Alena was found as a stray after what could have been a breeder dump since others were found just the same area and it appears that she has been a mama.
 
This lovable lady is crate trained and potty trained. She has been in foster homes with many other dogs and has done great with all of them! She also rides very nicely in the car.
This big girl says age is just a number and loves to zoom around the yard, play chase with her foster fur siblings  and play with toys.
 
After a short zoom session outside Alena will become a lap dog! She will curl up in a “little” ball and snooze away with you. She is a total love bug and wants all of the cuddles and pets. She will also quickly become your shadow and follow you everywhere (yes, even the bathroom).
 
We would like to see Alena have a fenced in yard in her forever home so she can stretch her legs. A forever family with Great Dane or other large breed dog experience is preferred.
 
If you are interested in adopting Alena please email us at almosthome4dogs@yahoo.co

 (Local adoptions preferred — Philadelphia and tri-state area [South Jersey and northern Delaware] only.)

PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTACTING US!  We are NOT a shelter: All of our dogs live in private homes with foster families. Come and meet the Almost Home dogs and their fosters at our Meet & Greet events, where you can learn more about our wonderful dogs from the people who live with them, find out which dogs are on their way and when they’ll arrive, and fill out an application to adopt or foster.

We cannot adopt to homes where electric-shock fencing systems or training collars are used. For more information on the dangers of electric-shock collars, please visit banshockcollars.ca/studies.php and http://www.hollysden.com/say_no_to_shock.htm (scroll down and click on the  "Invisible Fencing Systems" link).

We do not have an online adoption application; to request an application, e-mail us at AlmostHome4Dogs@yahoo.com. To speed e-mail processing time, be sure to note the name of the dog you are inquiring about in the Subject line. For Meet & Greet times and locations, visit our home page, where you also will find information on our adoption process and fees.

FOSTER FAMILIES ARE LIFESAVERS!! Can you open your heart and home for a few weeks to homeless shelter dog? Remember, by fostering a dog, you save TWO lives — that of your foster dog, and that of the dog who takes his place in the shelter! Come to a Meet & Greet and find out if fostering is for you — there's no reward quite like the feeling that you've saved a life ... or two!

More about this rescue

We are a small group of volunteers whose goal is to save the lives of homeless dogs suffering in high-kill shelters. In doing so, we hope to provide an alternative to the purchase of puppy-mill and pet-store dogs, thereby reducing the demand for and ultimately the supply of such dogs. We strive to match each dog with the right family after the dog has been observed in a foster home.
