Hi there! I’m a young pup with a big personality, a playful spirit, and lots of love to give! I’m a happy, curious girl who loves meeting people, spending time with kids, and enjoying the great outdoors. Whether it’s exploring the backyard, playing with all kinds of toys, or joining you for an adventure, I’m always ready to have some fun!I’m still young and learning all about the world around me. I have some crate training and potty training under my belt, and I’m working on becoming a better walking buddy by learning my leash manners. Like any puppy, I’ll need a family who is patient, consistent, and ready to help me grow into the amazing dog I’m meant to be.I’m a curious girl when it comes to cats, too! I may want to investigate them, so I’ll need guidance and supervision as I learn how to interact with feline friends appropriately.When meeting new people, I can be a little unsure of men at first, but with some patience, kindness, and time to warm up, I can start to feel more comfortable.My playful personality is one of my best qualities! I have so much puppy joy to share and would love a family who enjoys being active, playing games, spending time outside, and giving me plenty of love and attention.**Could you be my forever family?**I’m ready to learn, grow, play, and fill your home with laughter, love, and a whole lot of puppy silliness. All I need is someone willing to give me the patience, guidance, and affection every young pup deserves. Maybe my happily-ever-after starts with you!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, Zelle, or checks for adoption fees; we do not accept debit or credit cards. ***

Hi, I’m Savannah — beauty, brains, and a whole lot of personality. I’m a Shepherd mix who absolutely adores people and LOVES having something to do. If you’re looking for a dog who can be your best friend and your training buddy, I might just be your girl.I’m already nailing sit, down, place, and stay, and it really doesn’t take me long to figure out what you’re asking. I’m smart, eager to learn, and I genuinely enjoy working with my humans.Because of my Shepherd side, I’m definitely looking for someone who wants to keep both my brain and my body busy. Training, adventures, enrichment, long walks, learning new things — give me a job and I’m in.But don’t let all this talk about my impressive résumé fool you… I’m also a total goofball.I have some of the BEST zoomies, and apparently slippery floors are supposed to slow dogs down. I disagree. My legs may be going 100 mph while my body goes approximately three inches, but I remain fully committed to the mission. So if you’re looking for a girl who is smart, gorgeous, goofy, people-loving, and always ready for whatever comes next…I’m Savannah. And I’m ready to meet you.

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 $250, and she is available through A Doggie 4 You. If you're interested in adopting this sweet girl, apply today at www.adoggie4you.org.
