Story
German shepherds usually have pointy ears right?! Well, guess that makes me unique! I'm Shravya a young German shepherd mix with floppy ears and a goofy personality. I came to Almost Home Foundation and I was pretty shy and afraid of people, but the volunteers here are so great that they're making me come out of my shell and give lots of love and kisses. So it is safe to say, I warm up pretty quickly. I didn't have much exposure to the outside world prior to arriving at Almost Home so I am still a bit spectacle of noises and scare easily, but don't worry I'm young so I have a lot of room to learn and grow! I need to work on my leash manners too but I'm told I'm a smart girl so that doesn't worry me. It would be nice to have a family who will give me exercise, mental stimulation, and all the socialization I need. I would love to join you on adventures to gain some more confidence and I am pretty good company! My sisters and I love to play in our water bowl so I think I would be a pro swimmer! I absolutely LOVE other dogs. Running and playing is one of my favorite things to do and it is when I can reveal my true self! I would love to go with another dog in my new home but I think I would be okay solo too. I have finally learned about these cool things that I hear the humans call "toys" and they're awesome! I hope you have some for me because they are my favorite to throw around! I am very food motivated so if you have treats we will be best friends in no time! Plus, I've been told I have to put on a few pounds so lots of treats will be needed! I would prefer to not be home alone for long periods of time because I am not a huge fan of my crate. I am sure I can learn, but I need someone who has patience to work with me and show me it is not so scary! I hope you come and meet me because I am waiting for you! Adoption fee is $320. If you are interested in this dog, please complete an adoption application.

Story
Hi Everyone! My name is Rose, I am a young 45 lb. shepherd/mix, patiently waiting for a foster or forever home. Not to brag, but I am an all-around great companion! I love people, including kids of all ages, and I get along great with other dogs. The more, the merrier, as I just enjoy playing with them so much! I am 100% house broken and crate-trained. I also walk extremely well on a leash, without pulling. I am learning some basic commands as well, while attending AHF's basic training classes. I am treat-motivated (and I ask, who isn't)! Although the volunteers here at the kennel are being very nice to me, I'd love to break out of here and hang out with a foster or maybe my very own family. My favorite thing to do is get love and attention, especially when I'm being pet. Could you be my person?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
Ralph is a smaller shepherd mix who is around a year old. He weighs about 40 pounds at the moment. But is still very thin. He was found on the side of the road and was thought to be dead. As I approached he attempted to live but was unable too as he had been hit by a car. He couldn't walk so I quickly wrapped him in my jacket and rushed him to the nearest vet. They informed me he had broken his pelvis in three places. The poor guy was skin and bones and scared of absolutely everything (most likely feral). He was put on crate rest and continued to be nervous and scared around any person or dog that came close. Slowly he has opened up and began trusting us. Although he still gets nervous at times he is extremely food motivated and that is the easiest way to win him over. He loves head and neck scratches as well. A complete sweetheart once he trusts you. He would thrive in a quiet home with a more confident dog or no dog at all. He has food aggression with any food that touches the ground and this should be closely monitored if in a multiple dog household. He can be friendly with other dogs but it takes a day or two for him to warm up to them. He is kennel trained and potty trained. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Local adoption only

Story
Sweet Calista came to us with her little family of siblings. Caught roaming the streets we were able to capture them all and get them safe from starvation. Calista is a shy girl. She is going to require someone who has patience and understanding. In a matter or a minute her world was flipped upside down going from having to hunt and scavenge for food to a kennel and food and a bed. It was a lot for a little puppy to take in that had been on her own for so long. She is slowly opening up to her foster mom and every now and then will let her get on her level and come over for some pets/ licks of the hand. Treats and smelling like hot dogs/ peanut butter helps! Calista loves other dogs and gets along great with her foster homes pack. She is playful and energetic with them. Sometimes maybe too energetic as she can be an escape artist and find even the smallest of holes in the fence to see if she can fit and make a b-line to the neighbors house! Calista will need to stay local to Texas for the time being. Each day she is gaining confidence and understanding and realizing that people are not all mean and that there ares some out there that really do love dogs and want nothing but goodness for them. If you think you are ready to give Calista love, attention and help her build trust and confidence in herself and you then please apply!

Hey! Have a seat and let me tell you more about me and my journey! My name is Ella, and as you can see I am a gorgeous German shepherd mixed girl, 65# of love and GSD personality :) If you love shepherds you know the breed- we are loving and goofy, hairy and protective- all rolled into one! I am typical of the breed, and so I need a shepherd knowledgeable family! I love my peeps, don't get me wrong, I just feel I need to protect my peeps too- duh, it's GENETIC! However, YOU need to be in charge, cause I am not a good leader :) OK, so on to the fun stuff! I am a happy go lucky girl, I am great with other dogs and love kids. I am 3 yrs old and was saved by my rescue in 2020. I was adopted shortly thereafter but returned to the rescue last month because I thought I was in charge and a protector.... SO, I am back in the adoption arena and ready for just the right family to love me for who I am, but not let me be in charge :) Simple enough, if you are that family then ADOPT ME!!!! HURRY! See you soon!!! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Poor Bella was seen being dumped by her owner on a commercial street where big rigs constantly are passing through. It took a few days for us to build her trust to bring her to safety in our yard. Full of ticks and fleas we were able to clean her and give her love and attention which by the looks of it she never had love since she had the collar marks embedded into her fur where she had been tied up :( Bella loves toys and gets the zoomies when excited. She loves to run so preferably go to someone with a big yard or an active person. She is always high alert so she is always taking care of the house. She is very loyal to her person and shows how grateful she is to her foster family. She has her own personality and just wants love attention and she is ready to be spoiled by her forever family. * she will need a 6 foot fence * she does get along with dogs but gets jealous about her person *no cats *loves to Play in kiddie pool *walks on leash ok but still learning not to pull Bella Marie deserves a real home and will be your most loyal buddy ever!!! Love me back and that is a recipe for an AMAZING LIFE!! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area)
