My story

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

My name is Maynard and I am a senior dog looking for a place to spend my golden years. My backstory is a pretty sad one. I was found abandoned in a camper in southern Illinois. I had clearly been there for some time because I was super skinny. Sadly, the other dog in the camper was already deceased by the time we were found. Luckily Almost Home Foundation found a foster parent with a soft spot for seniors and was able to save me from an uncertain fate.

But enough about my past. Let’s talk about the present. I am currently in a foster home with two adult humans and two doggie sisters while I wait to be adopted. I get along with the other dogs here. There are no cats or kids so I’m not sure how I would do with them. I am also housebroken, crate-trained, and fine being home alone when the humans are at work. I am very laid back. My favorite thing to do is to find the comfiest bed in the house to snooze in. I sure do love napping! My foster mom says that I am a total sweetheart and have the most soulful eyes. Sometimes I rest my head on her lap and she can’t resist petting me (which is exactly what I wanted!).

That’s the basic information about me. And since you clicked on my picture and read my bio, here is what I know about you: you are willing to look beyond a dog’s age and get to know them for who they are. Age is just a number. I know that older dogs are often overlooked at adoption shows. People want younger dogs who are going to be around for a long time. And to that I say, don’t forget about us older pups! Seniors make great companions and have a lot of love to give.

Do you have room in your heart and home for me? If so, email dogs@almosthomefoundation.org to get in touch with my foster parents.

Adoption fee is $140

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.
