Story
My name is Capricorn and I am looking for my fur-ever home. Clicking on my picture is the first step in getting to know me! Potential adopters always ask a lot of questions about me. Here are the most common ones:Q: What is your back story?A: I heard that I used to live in a home with several dogs until my owner died. Luckily the volunteers at Almost Home Foundation saved me so I could have a second chance. I am currently in a foster home with two adult humans and two doggie sisters while I wait to be adopted. I am on the shy side, but with love, patience, and encouragement, I continue to gain confidence.Q: Are you housebroken and crate-trained?A: Yes to both! In fact, I love my crate. It’s my own little den where I feel safe and comfortable. Q: Are you good with dogs, cats, or kids?A: I am dog-friendly. I am timid so children would be too scary for me. It’s okay if they visit once in a while as long as I have a quiet place away from all the activity. I am not sure how I would be with cats.Q: Do you chew furniture, etc.?A: Nope. Not at all. I spend most of my day curled up in my doggie bed under a blanket. I’m so quiet that you hardly know I’m there!Q: Can you be left home alone?A: Yes! Just put me in my crate with a Kong toy and a blanket and I’m a happy camper.Q: Do you need a fenced-in yard?A: Yes. I do not potty on a leash so I will need a secure fenced yard for potty-time. It doesn`t need to be a big yard, just a secure one. Besides, I LOVE running around the backyard and having fun!Q: What is your ideal forever home?A: In terms of a forever home, I need someone with lots of love and patience to help me learn to trust. I am not a social butterfly or cuddle-bug that wants to meet everyone. An overly busy home with lots of people coming-and-going would be overwhelming. Q: Anything else we should know?A: I am up-to-date on shots, micro-chipped, heartworm negative, neutered, and in overall good health. I weigh about 15 pounds. Oh, and I LOVE cheese!Do you have room in your heart and home for me? If so, email dogs@almosthomefoundation.org to get in touch with my foster parents.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 o

Story
GoGo is at our shelter. Please submit an application from our website or just come in to meet him during open hours! Sweet GoGo first came to us over two years ago as a puppy, and was quickly adopted. Recently, we were contacted by his adopters who needed to return him due to moving to a retirement facility that did not allow dogs. GoGo is understandably confused and sad to be back at the shelter-- luckily, he is readjusting in the staff office and gets to spend a good chunk of his day on various laps! GoGo imprints very quickly on people, and decided that Business Operations Manager Edie was his new person! (At least while he awaits his adopter!). Because GoGo was raised in a home, we know a lot about him. He is housebroken, and has been left to free roam without issue when his owners were out of the house. He is friendly with kids, cats, and dogs. He is an energetic boy who loved to play at the dog bark and to chase squirrels and bunnies. GoGo is very good on a leash, too. His previous owners said one of his best qualities is that he is a great watchdog who will always notify you if someone is coming up to the house. We sincerely hope that GoGo's stay at our shelter is very short and that he will find his happily ever after soon. He has had enough change and transitions in his short life already. We hope you will come meet GoGo soon, but just know you may meet a more shy and withdrawn dog than you will get when he is comfortable back in a home. GoGo’s adoption fee is $375. This animal is neutered, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.

Story
Meet the Secret Wives of Mormon Wives — Jessi, Demi, Whitney, Taylor, Layla, Jen, Macyi & Mikayla These eight lovely ladies didn’t come to us from the deserts of Utah, but the heartland of Indiana — and they’ve got just as much mystery and charm. Once sheltered and a little uncertain of the world, they’ve made their way into the spotlight (and into our hearts), ready to sniff out new adventures and maybe even their forever couch. Unlike the bold and bubbly “MomTok” pack, these girls are on the quiet side — a little shy, a bit reserved, and still learning that the world can be soft and safe. They’re the kind of pups who won’t rush into your lap, but once they trust you? You’ve got a best friend for life. They’re not looking for chaos (unlike the television show) they’re looking for calm. A patient home. A soft bed. A human who understands that the best relationships take time. The Secret Wives are ready to leave their past behind and find their place — one tail wag at a time.

Meet the DadTok Boys — Conner, Dakota, Jacob, Zac, Jordan, Brett & Jace Straight from the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives litter, these seven charming gentlemen are pure heartthrobs with paws. They might carry the “DadTok” name, but don’t let that fool you — these boys are all love, no lectures. These boys are lovers, not fighters — soft-hearted, gentle-spirited, and more interested in belly rubs than barking. Raised with care but ready to leave the shelter behind, they’re looking for a calm, loving forever home where they can finally just… be dogs. If you’ve got a cozy couch, an open heart, and a treat or two in your pocket, one of these DadTok dudes might just be your perfect match. 🐾
