Story
🍂 Blinky: A Gentle Heart in a Tiny Package There’s a special comfort in the quiet presence of Blinky, a senior Maltese who has weathered life with grace and kindness. A former stray, Blinky has some dental issues, and likely experiences oral discomfort, yet he remains polite, affectionate, and full of gentle love while we determine the best care plan for him. He thrives in calm, patient homes where his slow, sweet ways can be appreciated. Blinky enjoys quiet laps, soft pats, and the peaceful rhythm of everyday life — a gentle companion for those who treasure warmth, patience, and a quietly loyal friend. Invite Blinky into your home, and you’ll discover the joy of a dog whose heart is bigger than his tiny frame, and whose presence brings calm, comfort, and quiet love. Hear what Blinky's foster has to say about him! "Blinky’s happy place is the yard or your lap. He’s blind and mostly deaf so the yard is a wonderful place for him to feel the textures under his feet and take in all the smells. So far he hasn’t minded any type of weather—not cold, not rain. He loved the snow today using his nose to throw it up in the air. He is also content to curl up beside you if you are working on the computer or on the couch while you watch TV. At dinner time he will lay on the wood floor (easier to feel your footsteps). He likes napping close by while smelling the food aromas. He is can learn to find things in the house if you keep things in place. He has been able to find the water bowl on his own. He is crate trained and will sleep in his crate at night."

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
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. ***
