My story

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

Hi, my name is Milk Dud (like the candy, but sweeter). I'm that retriever puppy you may have heard about that needed the life saving surgery to remove 6 feet of string that was wrapped around my intestines. With that being said, I am still very much a mischievous puppy and need supervision while I play with toys and explore my surroundings.  I am working on my potty training and showing great improvement- but still need frequent potty breaks so I do not have an accident in the house. Between being a typical mischievous puppy and still needing frequent potty breaks, I would do best in a home with a person home often.

My foster mom says I am very good at playing with other dogs and that I respect my senior foster sister when she tells me to back off.  I love playing with my toys and running around the yard. I can be mouthy with my foster parents, but when it comes to the kids, I know to be gentle. Foster mom also says I have a lot of energy and would do best with another dog to play with or a with family that will keep my mind and body exercised.

I can be shy with new people but with a little patience and encouragement I will warm up to you.  I love to give kisses, get pets and at the end of the day I love a good snuggle and nap with my humans. Do I sound like the perfect puppy for you?

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.
