My story

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

Dieter is an absolutely incredible and gorgeous Weimaraner! He possesses a truly remarkable balance between energetic playfulness and blissful `chill mode.` His disposition is nothing short of lovely – he is incredibly sweet, cuddly, and enjoys nothing more than curling up close to you, preferably snuggled right on top of you! He`s a fantastic sleeper and loves attention.

Dieter is fully crate-trained, but he doesn`t need to be confined. He has full access to his foster`s house. He is exceptionally smart, picking up new things very quickly. He walks quite well on a leash, and is currently working on maintaining consistency to prevent any pulling. He loves his dog toys and never chews on anything he shouldn`t.

Dieter is exceptionally friendly with people and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. He seems largely unconcerned with cats, but squirrels are a different story – he loves observing them from the window and often patrols the trees in the yard. Ideally, he would thrive in a home with a securely fenced yard or an owner who is enthusiastic about providing him with plenty of opportunities for exercise; another dog would be a wonderful addition, but it`s not essential. Dieter is simply an outstanding dog, and his future family will be incredibly fortunate to welcome him into their lives.

This is a Pay It Forward dog. This means the adoption donation of $550 will help to save another pup needing rescue and vetting. If you are interested in this dog, please complete an adoption application.

Our adoption shows are every Saturday from 11-2 at PetsMart stores in Schaumburg (1440 E Golf Rd) and Bloomingdale (162 S Gary Avenue) and Petco in Bloomingdale (412 W Army Trail Rd). 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.
