Alumni Super Sweet Senior, Mickey Seeking A Forever Home! Poor Mickey! Through no fault of his own he has had at least 4 homes! We found him in 2016 at a community free access shelter at the height of the canine flu! Not only was that a strike against bim but he had broken toes and was next in line to the euth room. We got him our in the nick of time. We covered his medical care. He improved, and healed and landed a lovely new Mom. Sadly Coved him and his mom passed. The family sent Mickey to live with a family friend that adored him. Sadly, his new Mom fell ill and needed to relinquish him to us. No Micky is on the hunt for a forever family that won't let him down. Mickey is a very gentle boy that loves everyone. He is pretty quiet, happy to take long naps in between wandering around the yard, sitting on a deck or taking a walk. He is also happy to nap with you and the family cat! He is quiet and always hoping yummy food might drop his way. He gets along with everyone. He was pee pad trained which might be helpful. We estimate he is 14ish.. He is a healthy fella although has had some allergy issues in the past and recovered IVDD. Mickey is fully vetted, He has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and is heartworm negative, His adoption donation is $450.00.

Story
Grace is a sweet dog who will make a good companion. Grace came to us via animal control. She had been left in a box and found in the alley on a hot summer day. Grace was matted, emaciated and in rough shape. When we brought her in from animal control she was unable to walk. As it turned out, her inability to walk was not due to physical impairment but from plain weakness, hunger and condition. She had been nearly starved to death and left to die like trash in the alley, We spent the next couple of months getting her weight stable and body condition back to normal. Because she had been starved she did guard her food. That has disappeared but to be safe we do not want to place her with young children, Grace enjoys other dogs to play with and is fine with cats. Grace loves to be outside in the yard. She thinks she is the protector of her domain and is a bit of a barker when people pass her view at the gate or down the alley. She can be stubborn and not come in when called. She will benefit from dog training. Like all dogs , she will need structure and a patient, loving home. We recommend training for all dogs —not only to give Grace important learning skills, but because you and your dog will create a stronger bond just by going through the training together. Grace is fully vetted. She has been spayed, received age-appropriate vaccines, and is microchipped. Subsequent vaccines will be at the expense of her adopter. Her adoption donation is $..600.00. She is on the hunt for her own completely committed family. Little dogs can live to be 20+ years old, so Grace wants to be sure her family is all in for better or for worse! IF INTERESTED IN A PUPPY (UNDER 9 MONTHS): You must have a flexible work schedule or someone home all day. Puppies need to be let out to potty often. They need socialization, bonding, and training (housetraining and behavioral training). If you work long hours, have a busy social schedule, or are not financially secure, then a puppy is not for you. We adopt in the local Chicago metro area. We require home visits. If you would like to apply to be considered as an adoption candidate for Grace, please fill out an application for her adoption on our website at: https://www.rescuetailsanimalwelfare.org/info/adoption. The first step in the process is to complete an application. We are all volunteers with full-time jobs. We try to get back to all applicants within 72 hours. We are an in home foster group. We are not a brick and mortart. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at: RescueTailsAnimalWelfare@gmail.com. If you aren’t looking to adopt but still would like to help Grace , please consider a donation for her food, housing, and veterinary care.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Pickles.  This social little guy has a history as a neighborhood explorer! He was found running loose in a subdivision, charming everyone he met. Much like his fellow canine adventurers, he was rescued multiple times, but his determination to roam led him to cleverly dig his way out of every yard he was placed in. He is eager to trade his escaping days for a secure yard and a forever family who can give him the attention and secure environment he craves. Pickles is a true social butterfly who thrives on human interaction and affection. He promises to be a delightful addition to any family. He was born around 12/03/2024 and weighs 14.9 pounds.  During his vet visit, it was noted that he has a Grade 1 heart murmur, which is the mildest form of the condition and is easily manageable. This little diagnosis hasn't slowed him down one bit! If you’re looking for a joyful, affectionate companion who is full of life and personality, Pickles is your perfect match. His adoption fee is $400. You can apply to bring this sweet boy home today at www.adoggie4you.org. This dog is currently in Texas; however, it can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington KY or all along the East Coast. If transported, there is an additional transport fee of $225. We do not transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to their regulations.

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. ***
