Story
Elizabeth Taylor is a 6.5 year old Maltese with her whole life ahead of her! She came to us as a breeder release, so everything is new and a little bit scary for her right now. With patience and consistency, she will quickly learn how good life can be! So far, she is doing well with other dogs and is mostly uninterested. She would probably be the same around cats, as she’s only 15 pounds and would be similar to their size. She is shy with new people, but seems to be enjoying spending time outside and decompressing with her foster family! She’s doing well in her crate and working on potty training, and mostly just taking it easy while she acclimates. And we are just fine with that! She hopes her adopter will be just as patient and let her come out of her shell in her own time, so if you are able to provide her that stability and kindness, please let us know! Elizabeth Taylor's adoption fee is $550

Story
Spike is a handsome maltipoo mix. He can be a little shy at first, it takes him a minute to trust someone and warm up. But once he does, you have best friend for life! He is a very happy cuddly dog. Spike has the most fun natural blonde Mohawk that just adds to his charm! DOB 5/8/24 and around 25 lbs. Spike prefers a home without cats and, honestly, would do best as the only furry companion. He can be a bit of an attention hog and doesn’t like to share his favorite human! He would also do best in a home with no kids or kids over 12, who will respect his personal space while he adjusts to a new environment. He does have a lot of energy, so he also has his paws crossed for a backyard with a privacy fence! Find our application on our website https://www.tailsoftheforgottenpaws.org/

Story
Gideon is a sweet senior who found himself in need of rescue when his owner had to go to a nursing home. He is young at heart and loves going on walks 3 or more times every day. He adjusts easily to a schedule and is good about doing his business outside. Some of Gideon`s favorite things are playing with his toy rabbit, sitting on his person`s lap, and sitting outside in the evening greeting everyone who walks by. Gideon recently went to a groomer and charmed everyone there! They took turns holding him and had nothing but good things to say about how well he behaved. Gideon gets along with other dogs. Cat compatibility is unknown.Adoption fee is $140Email: 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. ***

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Myles — a happy, lovable Maltipoo who’s ready to find his forever family! Born around March 12, 2025, Myles weighs 17.6 pounds and is full of personality. He came to us as part of a 29-dog seizure where, although the dogs were cared for, they didn’t get the individual attention and socialization they needed. Despite that, Myles has proven to be incredibly friendly and people-loving. He thrives on attention and is always excited to be around his humans. Myles would do best in a home where someone is around most of the time, as he truly enjoys companionship and being part of daily life. Myles has also been seen by an ophthalmologist and has cataracts in one eye. He is currently on special eye drops, and we are hopeful for improvement with continued treatment. He also has a playful side—he absolutely loves toys and is always up for some fun. Whether it’s a game of toss or just carrying his favorite toy around, he knows how to enjoy life. He’s currently learning how to walk on a leash and will benefit from a patient adopter who can continue helping him build confidence and skills. With his sweet nature and eagerness to connect, Myles is sure to make a wonderful companion. Myles’ adoption fee is $400. If you’re ready to welcome this charming boy into your home, you can apply at www.adoggie4you.org . This dog is currently in Texas; however, he can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington, KY, or along the East Coast. If transported, there is an additional transport fee of $250. We do not transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to their regulations.
