Story
If you’ve ever dreamed of adopting a bat-dog hybrid who runs on unlimited energy and pure joy, your dreams just came true. Missy is a 22lb, 4-year-old Rat Terrier mix who looks like a bat in disguise (seriously—check out those ears!) with the sweetest brown eyebrows and muzzle freckles you’ll ever see.Missy is a professional zoomie champion who believes exercise is a lifestyle, not a hobby. One walk? Great. Two walks? Better. Three? LET’S GO.This silly girl is smart as a whip and eager to please. She knows her commands, sits patiently at the door like a little lady until you say “okay, let’s go!” and beams with pride whenever she hears the magic words “good girl.” The only thing she loves more than hearing that? Attention. Any kind. From anyone. Always.Missy is perfectly house-trained, sleeps like an angel once she’s in her crate (bonus points if she gets a blanket to burrow in), and is working hard on her leash manners. She’s very enthusiastic about dogs, cats, squirrels, and, well, life in general—sometimes too enthusiastic—so she’ll do best in a home that can match her zest with consistent training, playtime, and lots of patience.Her dislikes? Being ignored, crate time, and small woodland critters who dare to exist.If you’re looking for a sweet, silly, high-energy best friend who will keep you laughing (and moving!) every single day, Missy is your girl.If you’d like to take this pupper home, please fill out an adoption application at this link – https://animalalliesrescue.org/dog-application. The adoption fee is $300 and covers all expenses needed to prepare dogs like this one for their forever homes. By the time you meet them, they’ve already been spayed/neutered (if age-appropriate) and microchipped. They’ve been checked by a veterinarian and are up to date on necessary vaccinations, including Rabies and DHLPP. They have also been tested for heartworm and tick-borne diseases and have started heartworm and flea preventative medication. Some of our dogs have even undergone extensive medical care to ensure they’re ready for a happy, healthy life with you!

Story
This 18-month-ish Jack Russell / Smooth Fox Terrier mystery mix is 16 pounds of tri-color charm, a dash of goofiness, and a whole galaxy of potential.Aries didn’t have the easiest start (being abandoned in a park will do that), so she’s still learning that the world isn’t as scary as it once felt. But wow, is she blossoming. She’s housebroken, crate trained, walks nicely on leash in calmer environments, and—thanks to a road trip résumé that includes TX to MD and a multi-state camping adventure—she’s an elite little traveler.Aries is the ultimate cuddle comet: she loves snuggling other dogs, sometimes a little too enthusiastically, and is learning that not every dog wants her sleeping directly on top of them. With cats? She shrugs. With people and new dogs? She warms up fast when she feels safe… but may give you the “stranger danger” side-eye for a minute first. Fair enough.Inside the home, Aries is all about soft blankets, cozy sweaters, couch hangs, and routine. She’s smart, sensitive, food-motivated, and so ready to be part of a real family for the first time.She’ll thrive in a calm, predictable home—suburban vibes preferred—with adults or dog-savvy older kids who understand that confidence takes time. Whether she joins an existing pack or flies solo, this sweet girl is absolutely ready to love big. She just needs her constellation of people to shine with.If you’d like to take Aries home, please fill out an adoption application at this link – https://animalalliesrescue.org/dog-application. The adoption fee is $350 and covers all expenses needed to prepare dogs like this one for their forever homes. By the time you meet them, they’ve already been spayed/neutered (if age-appropriate) and microchipped.

Chrissy'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 Chrissy Meet Chrissy, about 6 months old, loves cuddles, zoomies and playing with her foster siblings. Good with dogs and scared of cats. Walks are fun and exiting and has met some kids at puppy playtime social hour. Now all that is missing from her life is her family. Very sweet, loves to play, figuring out where to do her business and a fun girl. Will probably do best with a dog buddy. Expected to be 25 pounds or so. The adoption fee is $450, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including age appropriate vaccinations, worming, flea/tick preventative and spay/neuter. All of our dogs will be microchipped. 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
