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/

Anna is a happy, active Maltese with a big personality packed into a little body! She absolutely adores people and is wonderful with kids and other dogs, making her a fantastic fit for a social, loving home. This sweet girl loves to play—especially with her soft toys—and would thrive in a moderately active home where she can enjoy time outdoors and stay engaged. Whether it’s playtime, adventures, or cuddles, Anna is always ready to be part of the fun. One thing to know about Anna: she does have a bay-style howl, so she’s not shy about using her voice when she’s excited or wants to join the conversation! If you’re looking for a playful, people-loving pup with lots of charm and character, Anna may be your perfect match Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 12-4 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person.

Story
Imogen is a gentle little soul who seems to float through life on quiet paws. At 12 years young, this sweet Shih Tzu has perfected the art of calm companionship—she’s soft, serene, and radiates an almost angelic peace wherever she rests. If you’re looking for a dog who brings tranquility and warmth into your home, Imogen is your girl.Imogen is wonderfully easygoing and happy just being near her people. She adores lap time, gentle scratches, and loving attention when she’s awake, though she’s equally content spending much of her day napping sweetly in her cozy bed. She never barks, has no bad habits, and is beautifully well-behaved when left alone—no crate required.This precious girl is blind and hard of hearing, which only adds to her peaceful nature. She doesn’t need commands to thrive—just routine, patience, and love. Imogen does best on the lower level of the home and prefers to avoid stairs, snow, mud, and other tricky surfaces. She enjoys being outside when the weather is kind, especially if there’s a clear, shoveled path for her to stroll.Imogen is indifferent to other dogs, unfazed by the world around her, and simply asks for a soft place to land and a gentle human to love. She’s an old soul with a heart full of quiet devotion—ready to be someone’s little guardian angel at home.Interested in adopting this dog?

Story
Please rad entire bio, Thank you. Jasper is very shy, we are doing our best to have him get better at handling him. We would like someone that has the time and experience to get him more confident. He loves other dogs, just jumps for joy to play with them. We would like to find him a home with at least another dog in the home, that will be a tremendous help. He has toes missing on one of his back paws, we were told that the mom bit them off at birth. He still has the pad and walk fine. Jasper could be a foster to adopt to the right family. Or just fostering would be ok. He is completely vetted. Also we would prefer a home with no small children. Teenagers would be ok. Please email if you are interested at helpapoochrescue@gmail.com

Story
Ebony and Ivory are a bonded pair looking for a forever home together.Ebony (14 lbs.) and Ivory (8 lbs.) were local strays. They were in terrible shape when found and horribly matted. Now that these sweet girls are safe with AHF, they`re looking and feeling so much better. Ivory loves to cuddle, and Ebony is more playful but loves cuddling too. They`re both very loving. We think Ivory is a maltese mix and Ebony may be a schnauzer/shih tzu mix. Both girls walk on leash. They do not get crated when their foster leaves the house and do fine confined to a large room. They get along with the other dogs in their foster home and have been friendly with kids they`ve met at adoption events. Ebony seems potty trained and Ivory is mostly; she`ll sometimes use potty pads if they`re out for other pups.If you have room in your heart and home for Ebony and Ivory, please fill out an application so you can meet them and learn more. 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. ***
