Story
Miss Grace (grace) was found as a stray locally. She`s a young adult and weighs 11 lbs. Breed???She has Shih-tzu hair so she will need a regular grooming. She`s really soft. Grace has never met a stranger. She loves everyone human or dogs. She`s all about play and has a lot of energy. She loves toys and will play with any dog. Unfortunately she is unaware some dogs may not like her. She always wants her foster brothers to play and may be a little pesty. She would love a human kid to run around with but would probably be a trip hazard for someone not so steady on their feet. We are working on not walking between my feet or waiting to go down the stairs. She may have tripped me a time or two. She so quiet sometimes you don`t realize she`s there.Grace doesn`t mind being touched on her feet or face or even her tail. Now if you put your face close to her you are going to get licked... Grace is housebroken and walks ok on a leash. She just needs a little work on not pulling. She sleeps in bed with her human sister but is crated when no one is home. She`s still very puppy. I haven`t heard her bark yet. She doesn`t bark when my own dogs go crazy because someone has the nerve to walk by the yard. She just gets excited hoping they will come pet her.This is a Pay It Forward dog. This means the adoption donation of $650 will help to save another pup needing rescue and vetting. If you are interested in this dog, please complete an adoption application.Email: 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
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. ***
