Story
Freddy is a senior dog who is in need of a home that is able to provide the care he needs. I recently inherited Freddy from my mother who passed away in September. Freddy is 13 years old and was a shelter dog my mother adopted from the Anti-Cruelty Society in Chicago. However, I am not the ideal person to care for Freddy, as he has a number of special needs. As a small dog, he has anxiety issues with storms and separation, which can be controlled with medication. He is also not fully housebroken, so he wears a harness and belly band diapers, which prevents this as a problem. Finally, he has a persistent cough related to a tracheal issue, for which he requires relatively inexpensive oral medication. All that being said, he is an adorable, cuddly dog who sleeps most of the day, likes cuddling with his owner, is good with children, enjoys outdoor walks, and is a good and faithful companion. He needs an owner who can manage his needs and provide him with the love he deserves.

Story
Hi, I'm Skylar, the Cuddlebug! My middle name is "Pet Me". I was a stray in a Southern Illinois rural area when I was picked up and put in doggy jail. Adopt-A-Pet came and took me out and put me in a foster home so I could find a new family who would take proper care of me. My best guess is I'm somewhere between 3 and 5 years old. I weigh 17 pounds and kind of look like a large chihuahua. I'm sure there's some terrier in there too. I am tri-color with some pretty unique markings. Just look at my pictures! I LOVE attention, snuggling up with you & getting a massage: back, butt, tummy or head. It doesn't matter. Just pet me. I can sit or lie down on the couch or recliner next to my foster Mom, while she's on the phone. I won't move for an hour as long as she's massaging somewhere on me. That's the main time I sneak in a few kisses!! My second greatest passion is taking long, sniffing walks around the neighborhood. I'm really good at learning new things. I came to Adopt-A-Pet knowing pretty much nothing, and now I've mastered some of the basic commands. I know Sit, Come, Stay and Heel. Mom has me sit at every street corner saying, "It's a street." I am also learning to Down. A good obedience class with my adoptive family would really help in the long run. I'd be the star student, rather the teacher's pet. When I first came to this house I wasn't neutered and had to mark my territory all over. I didn't know that I was expected to do my business outside. Now I am neutered and my foster mom took me outside constantly to make me learn this. I still have an occasional accident but I've pretty much mastered housebreaking. I'm still a little leery with strangers and it might take me a little while to warm up to you. But once I do, watch out - I'm your friend for life! Again, that obedience class that you're going to take me to will help with this. I'd do best in a quiet house with someone that's home a lot to give me Love and let me reciprocate. Someone who enjoys taking long walks. No little kids, please, as I'm just not used to them and not quite ready to take them on yet. Will you please come and take me home so I can Love you? Skyler's adoption fee of $350 includes: vet exam, DAPP (distemper combo) vaccination, Bordetella vaccination, Rabies vaccination, 4DX heartworm/lyme test, flea/tick preventative, heartworm preventative, routine deworming, microchip and neuter.

Story
Hi there! My name is Panini. I am an adult chihuahua mix looking for my forever home. When I was rescued, I was painfully malnourished, infested with fleas, and absolutely terrified of EVERYTHING. For weeks, I would not venture out of my crate for any reason other than to use a potty pad. I have made a lot of progress in my foster home, but I still have a long way to go and have some requirements for my forever home.My ideal forever home is calm with adults only or older kids who will understand and respect my needs. I'd love a friendly and patient small or medium-sized canine friend in my home to show me the ropes and help me continue to build my play skills. A securely fenced yard is a must because I'm currently afraid of being on a leash. I'm also not ready to be picked up, but with your help, I can get from place to place in a travel crate or a dog stroller. Please understand that I need a person or family who will be loving and patient as I continue to gain confidence. I might not be super snuggly right now or a lap dog, but that doesn't mean I won't ever be. Some things you will love about me are my smiley, sweet personality and the excitement I have when you come home. When you start seeing me come out of my shell, you'll love watching me hop around like a bunny and make cute little sounds. I'm generally lower energy but have my bouncy, playful spurts! I've begun to occasionally enjoy relaxing on the couch with the rest of my foster family. I'm mostly potty-trained and know how to use pee pads if you're gone a while. My foster mom says I have blossomed into such a fun, sweet, and funny girl, and I can't wait to show my future family what a lovable little stringbean am.If you think we would be a good match, please fill out an application for me, and my foster mom will be in touch so you can learn more about me and we can find a time to meet!Adoption fee is $320Almost Home Foundation's adoption requirements:Be at least 21 years of age;Have the consent of all adults living in the household;Have approval from the residence owner;Have valid ID with current address;Be approved by Almost Home Foundation as a suitable adoptive home;Live in the suburbs surrounding Schaumburg (Illinois Residents only)

Story
"Hi my name is Carmel, and I am sweet and sticky just like candy!! Playful and loving,I always want to be with my people. I love to be on your lap, and I love my toys!! I mean, I can tear into those things like a dog 10 times my size!! I am currently in a foster home without kids, but I did spend some time previously with a family that had a 10 and 13 year old, and I was snuggly and loving with them! I am fairly quiet, but like most dogs I will definitely let you know when someone is at the door and especially if the house is about to be robbed by those crazy humans in uniform, aka delivery people!! I am currently in a foster home as an only dog, but I spent some time in a home with 3 other small dogs. They tolerated me acting like I owned the place. However, not all dogs like my all-about-me manner in their homes. My foster mom is home quite a bit, but when she does leave I have been staying in a closed room while getting used to her place. I can handle a crate if you include something interesting to chew on, but I am working on earning trust to gain full reign of the house! I don't like to brag, but I walk pretty nicely on a leash. I love to bark at any dog or human that walks by, and my foster mom is working with me on this - she keeps my attention with lots of treats and praise when I am a good girl and ignore the passersby! Speaking of treats - man I just LOVE those things! Any kind - big or small, soft or crunchy. Treats are the key to my heart, and If you approach me the proper way when we first meet and give me lots of them, I will be your bestest girl forever and ever!! So what do you say? Should we meet?!?"Adoption fee is $320Email: dogs@almosthomefoundation.orgAlmost Home Foundation's adoption requirements:(1) Be at least 21 years of age;(2) Have the consent of all adults living in the household;(3) Have approval from the residence owner;(4) Have valid ID with current address;(5) Be approved by Almost Home Foundation as a suitable adoptive home; and`(6) Live in the suburbs surrounding Schaumburg (Illinois Residents only)*** Please note that Almost Home Foundation accepts only cash or checks for adoption fees; we do not accept debit or credit cards. ***

Story
This little guy may be a senior, but he is still one "hot tamale" with plenty of energy and love to give! He likes going for walks and playing in the yard. He is looking for the right companion to snuggle up with and spoil him with treats. Tamale is very friendly with people including children of all ages. He is also good with cats (he ignores them) and loves other dogs but he would be content as an only pet as well. He is happy sleeping in his dog bed in a variety of funny positions including under a blanket or on his back. He doesn't like to be left alone so someone who leads a less active lifestyle or can bring him with as much as possible, would be the best fit for him. With his gentle demeanor and loving nature, Tamale is ready to bring his fun personality and happiness to his forever home!Adoption fee is $100Email: dogs@almosthomefoundation.orgAlmost Home Foundation's adoption requirements:(1) Be at least 21 years of age;(2) Have the consent of all adults living in the household;(3) Have approval from the residence owner;(4) Have valid ID with current address;(5) Be approved by Almost Home Foundation as a suitable adoptive home; and`(6) Live in the suburbs surrounding Schaumburg (Illinois Residents only)*** Please note that Almost Home Foundation accepts only cash or checks for adoption fees; we do not accept debit or credit cards. ***
