My story

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

Meet Whiskey - The Sweetheart with a Wagging Tail and a Big Heart

Hi, I`m Whiskey! I`m a laid-back, lovable guy who`s all about cuddles, kisses, and being your best buddy. My tail is always wagging because, well... I`m just a happy boy!

Whiskey loves all people, big and small. He can be dog selective and prefers smaller dogs, but can warm up to bigger dogs in time.

I`ve got great house manners—housebroken (no accidents here!) and can be left home alone (no crate for this boy!) I do enjoy a little playtime with my toys and love to look out the windows. I take the neighborhood watch seriously! I`m also content to just lounge around with you and soak up your love. I love my pizza toy, but the popcorn might be my new favorite! I truly enjoy going on walks so I can sniff around and take in the world - I`m a polite walker and do great on a leash. I already know some basic commands, and my foster mom says I`m a fast learner-she`s even teaching me how to high five!

If you`re looking for a gentle, affectionate pup with a calm spirit and a whole lot of love to give, I might just be your perfect match. If you`re interested in meeting me, please fill out a no-obligation application today.

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.
