Story

She’s beauty and she’s grace— she’s going to steal your space!Meet Barcelona:Barcelona is a 3-year-old, 75-pound spayed Lab/Shepherd mix who lives life at full volume — whether she’s sprinting across the yard or dramatically flopping onto the couch for snuggles. She’s equal parts athlete and affection enthusiast, and she takes both roles very seriously.She’s wonderful with people of all ages and seems to believe everyone she meets was put on this earth to be her friend. Barcelona is fully house trained, knows her basic commands, and can be trusted to free roam without turning your living room into a chew-toy testing lab. She’s not destructive — she prefers to save her energy for the important things, like loving you.Speaking of love… Barcelona is a total cuddle bug. If you sit down, she will assume it’s an invitation. If you lie down, even better. She’s happiest when she can lean her solid 75 pounds against you and sigh like she just had the best day ever.She would thrive in a home with a large fenced yard where she can stretch her legs and burn off her zoomies before clocking in for couch duty. On leash, she’s strong and very enthusiastic about getting where she’s going. She’ll need continued leash training, as she can pull and be reactive when passing other animals. Because she prefers to be the star of the show, Barcelona is looking to be the only pet in the home.If you’re searching for a loyal, affectionate, big-hearted girl who will keep you active, keep you laughing, and keep you company on the couch, Barcelona is ready to pack her bags and claim her spot by your side.Adoption fee is $360Email: 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. ***

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Anna! Anna had a rough start in life—she was born on November 30, 2024, on the streets of San Antonio, alongside her eight siblings. Her feral mother had been surviving on her own for quite some time, raising multiple litters on the streets. Thankfully, with the help of Anna and her siblings, we were able to gain her mother’s trust and bring them all to safety. Now, Anna is thriving! She is a playful, sweet, and loving dog who adores people. She may be a little shy at first, but give her a few minutes, and she’ll be bouncing around, ready to play! . Anna is ready to find her forever home! Her adoption fee is $300, and she is available through A Doggie 4 You. If you're interested in adopting this sweet girl, apply today at www.adoggie4you.org. Could Anna be the missing piece of your family?

If transported, there is an additional transport fee of $250.
