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. ***

Story
Hi, I’m Scruffy the little dog with a big attitude and an even bigger comeback story. Before rescue, I was a local stray fending for myself, and honestly? It shows. My fur was one giant matted disaster, and I had to be completely shaved down just to start over. Physically, I felt better right away. Emotionally? …Yeah, not so much. That messy coat was basically my armor, and suddenly I felt way too exposed for my liking.So yes, I can be a little… particular. I don’t love being touched by people I don’t know, and I’m not the type to pretend I like you right away just to be polite. I need time, space, and someone who doesn’t take it personally when I act like a tiny grumpy old man trapped in a cute dog body. ??BUT once I decide you’re cool? I trot around with my proud little prance, I’m great on walks, I’m crate trained, potty trained, and I coexist just fine with other dogs who respect that I am, in fact, the main character.I’m not here for chaotic homes or tiny humans who want to squeeze me. I need an adult or older-kid household that appreciates a dog with boundaries, confidence, and a little bit of spice. If you’re looking for a super clingy lap dog, that’s not me. If you want a loyal companion with personality, charm, and just the right amount of attitude? I might be your guy.Spicy boys deserve love too.??Almost 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. ***

Story
Bonsai has the cutest little face, don't you think?! He has the most expressive eyes and those toofers are just too much! Bonsai is a 4 year old Shih Tzu mix and he weighs about 16 pounds. He warms up well to other dogs and has started playing with a ball or squeaky toys, too! He is nervous around new people, but he is getting braver every day! Everything is new to Bonsai, but he's getting used to wearing his harness and going to the bathroom outside. He likes to spend time in his crate since it's his safe space! He seems to take comfort in the company of another dog, so we think he will transition best into a home where he has a little dog buddy to show him around. He follows his foster mom around, taking in the routine. Between his curiosity and his food motivation, we're sure he'll adapt and become the best little companion! If you're as smitten with Bonsai's little mug as we are, submit an application! Bonsai's adoption fee is $350

Please let us introduce you to Berlin! Berlin is a 6 year old Shih Tzu mix and she weighs about 14 pounds. She's curious and friendly with other dogs and though she hasn't met any cats, we think she'd be fine around them! Berlin has never met a stranger and loves to be part of the pack! She gives great kisses and will like your hand or cheek to show you her appreciation :) She's doing well with crate training, and making potty training progress, too. Her dream is to be someone's lap dog, and she hopes to join a home where she will get lots of attention! Apply to meet Berlin and her Whoville tail and teefers will keep you smiling, we promise! Berlin's adoption fee is $300
