My story

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

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION! Ashley gave us quite a scare when her spay incision opened up and became infected and she required emergency surgery. Luckily, her foster mom noticed right away and whisked her off to the vet after hours. Through it all, Ashley’s friendly personality really shined and we were so happy knowing she would be safe and cherished from here on out.
 
Ashley looks like a shepherd / lab mix, around a year old and 45 lb, but her healthy weight is likely closer to 55 lb. She is energetic and fun with her foster family, kids and dogs included. Snuggling is her favorite and she hasn’t met a lap she didn’t like. Her activity is still limited while she continues to recover from surgery, but we can tell she can’t wait to let loose and zoom around the yard. She would really jive with an active family who wants to take her along on their adventures.
 
Ashley is crate trained, nearly house trained, and rides well in the car. She loves toys, especially the indestructible bones and chews. She’s a really special girl who deserves her own happily ever after! Email almosthome4dogs@yahoo.com for an application to adopt Ashley today!
 
 (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.
