Story
Toast is a 2-year-old pug with a huge personality packed into a small, wrinkly body. She is incredibly social and loves everyone she meets. If you’re looking for a dog that wants to be involved in everything you do, she is your girl. She loves other dogs and would do great with a playful canine friend. She has been around cats and even chickens and completely ignores them — she’s way more interested in toys, zoomies, and her people. She absolutely loves kids, but she can be a little mouthy when she gets excited and plays, so she would do best with older kids who can redirect playful dog behavior. She is not fully potty trained yet, so her future family will need to be patient and consistent while she learns. The good news is she’s very smart and very food motivated. Her favorite things include: • Toys (all of them) • Running zoomies around the yard • Going for walks and staying active • Sleeping in bed with her people • Being extremely dramatic about waking up in the morning She has a lot of energy for a pug and would do best with a family that will play with her, walk her, and keep her busy — followed by lots of couch snuggles, of course. She’s funny, affectionate, dramatic, playful, and full of personality. If you want a dog that will make you laugh every single day and be your little shadow, she’s the one. ADOPTION PROCESS 1. Review our adoption contract and application. 2. Call your vet and references to inform them that a rescue representative will be calling. 3. Complete adoption application and submit following appropriate link below: Dog/Puppy: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HRMD/Dog Cat/kitten: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HRMD/Cat It takes us about 1-3 days to process applications. Once approved, we ask that all members of the household (including dogs) be available for meeting the animal within 3 days. If the meeting goes well, you will submit payment electronically and be able to take your new family member home with you immediately! If for whatever reason you do not take the animal home after the first meeting, please understand that we will continue to process applications for the animal and availability is not guaranteed. 4. Please review these resources prior to the meeting to be prepared with what to expect when bringing a new dog home: a.

Lily's Story PLEASE NOTE- AN APPLICATION FROM THE WEBSITE ALMOSTHOMEDOGS.ORG IS REQUIRED prior to any meet and greet. Calling, emailing or "inquiring" is not useful and will delay your consideration in the adoption of the dog. Meet Lily, a sweet loving dog with a sad story, she came out of a home that was split up due to domestic violence and had no place to go. Lily is a gentle dog who may be timid when you first meet her but she is gaining so much confidence already, warms up quickly and turns into an amazing girl who follows her foster around everywhere. She is about 30 pounds, about 3 years old, housebroken, great with dogs and has also lived with cats. Loves to cuddle and put her head on your lap. Looking for a quiet home where she can gain more confidence and become the incredible companion she was meant to be. Breed is a guess, looks like a mini boxer, probably pug with something else. The adoption fee is $450, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including age appropriate vaccinations, worming, flea/tick preventative, heartworm test if age appropriate and spay/neuter. All of our dogs will be microchipped. Because our dogs are in foster homes, applications are required prior to setting up any appointments. Calling or emailing may delay your consideration. APPLY AT ALMOSTHOMEDOGS.ORG (click on the word "Adopt" at top of page to find the dropdown menu with application) We are a non profit no kill 501 (c)3 rescue. Please understand that we do our best to describe our dogs but often we rescue them with virtually no information about them and often our best educated guess can be challenging. Currently check, cash or venmo is preferred payment
