My story

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

Daphney may look like an ordinary little puppy, but she is a monster - a cuddle monster! Daphney is a playful, silly, and fun-loving little girl. She loves every person and every pup she meets. Her favorite activities are running around the yard with her foster sister, digging for toys in the toy bin, chewing on a good chewie or squeaky toy, and eating. Daphney enjoys her meals! She is very food motivated. Daphney is doing very well on her potty training and leash training but will need her forever family to continue working with her. She is a good girl who wants to please her people. She is very responsive to tone of voice corrections and has shown herself to be a smart little pup. Daphney knows to sit, make eye contact, and wait to be released before going out the doors of her foster home.

Daphney's affection knows no bounds - she loves to cuddle and play with her foster parents and her canine foster sister. She has an infinite supply of puppy kisses and hands them out generously.

Daphney would do best in a home where she has outlets for her energy and where her training is continued. She loves other dogs and would enjoy a fenced yard. But mostly, she needs someone who will love her and raise her to be a well behaved girl. She would be a great candidate for agility training!

If you think you might be Daphney's forever family, please fill out an adoption application and her foster mom will be in touch.

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.
