Story
Hi, my name is Oddis! I'm a handsome, 3 year old pit bull mix and I came to Almost Home as an owner surrender in February 2021. I have been living at the shelter for over half of my life, but I know my forever home is out there somewhere! I tend to be pretty shy when I meet new people, but please be patient with me because I have soooo much love to give! I love to play and sit on laps, I'm good with other dogs and I'm gentle with kids. I'm up to date on all my vaccinations, neutered and microchipped, and tested negative for heartworm. Do you have room in your home for me?

Hi my name is Brownie. I am a very sweet and energetic Bully mix. I am not sure what I am mixed with but I do have some wirey curly hair down my back. I am said to be good with dogs, cats, and kids. I previously lived with 2 Shih Tzus and they were the bosses of the house. I do need to learn a lot of manners still, but I am very smart and will catch on fast. I am just a big oversized goofy puppy.

Story
This beautiful girl is Annabelle. She is a 4 1/2 year old Bully mix that came to us as an owner surrender when they were moving and couldn't take her with. She is a little shy at first, but warms up very quickly. She is a very calm dog and loves to cuddle. She would make someone a perfect couch potato. She also walks very well on a leash and loves to go for walks. We were told she gets along with other dogs, cats, and older kids.

Hi my name is Malah. I am a very pretty 1 year old Bully mix and I came to Almost Home when my owner couldn't keep me. I have unfortunately been passed around a lot and haven't had the best life, but I am very sweet and love everyone I meet. I am good with other dogs, but I haven't been around cats. I would probably do best in a home with older kids.

Story
Lefty was saved by local animal control. He with 5 other siblings were neglected and starved in a home with humans that need help caring for themselves. It was a happy ending for all as they were able to get help and these puppies were all fully vetted and finding homes of theor own. Lefty is the last of the group. He is very very smart and driven to learn. He has a high food drive and learns quickly. We feel he would be great with anything but must be kept busy and must continue training and socialization. He would greatly enjoy a family with no small.children and a fenced in yard. He is very protective over his food with other animals with other animals. In time and with consistency he can learn that he will never be starved again. He loves to play with other dogs he is a bit much for cats and small squeaky dogs. He is fully vetted and ready for his family to find him

Whether it's a pat on the head or a scratch behind the ears, I'm all about those moments of connection and love. So, if you're looking for a lively companion who's as passionate about play as he is about food, look no further than yours truly, Waldo. Let's embark on adventures and enjoy some delicious treats together!All dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and heartworm tested prior to adoption.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
My name is Woofus and I am a brown brindle pit bull. I am a neutered male and I am 4 years old. I am at the shelter because I was found as a stray on 02/26/2024. I am potty trained. I am a high energy dog and I will need an owner with some prior pet owning experience. The shelter staff is not sure if I am used to being crated during the day, although I do well in my large kennel at the shelter. I do pull on my leash when being walked and need to work on my manners, so basic obedience training would be good for me. I do already know some basic commands like `sit` and `shake`! I would like a standard height fence to help keep me inside the yard, or lots and lots of walks on leash to help me burn off my energy. I can be good with men, women, and children over 10 years old. I can be good with other dogs and I cannot live with cats. All dogs are tested for heartworms and given flea preventatives. They are also tested for intestinal parasites and receive routine dewormings. Dogs are vaccinated against distemper, rabies, and bordetella, spayed/neutered before adoption, and have a microchip. Adoption fees include the initial automated registration of the microchip at the time of adoption.
