My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello! I`m Dazzle (though you can call me Max).
I’m a Great Pyrenees/Labrador mix looking for a forever home. Let me tell you a little about myself and my journey!

When I was just 3 months old, I was at risk of euthanasia. Thankfully, AHF saved me and brought me to Illinois, where I was adopted as an adorable puppy. But as I grew, I was returned when I was 6 months old. Ever since, I`ve spent most of my life in the rescue system—and I don`t really know why. Finding a forever home feels almost as tough as dating these days—everyone talks about it, but when it comes time to meet, they tend to `ghost` me (I think that’s what you call it)!

So, here’s a little more about me. I’m a very well-mannered boy. I respect all boundaries in the home. I`m potty trained, I don’t jump on people or counters, and I`m generally a medium-energy dog—especially if I get enough exercise and mental stimulation. I love to lounge around and just keep you company, gazing at you with my big, loving eyes!

I’d prefer to be the only pet in the home, so no other dogs or cats, please. Have you seen my size? I have all the love to give, and I want to be your one and only! I’m great on a leash and while I sometimes bark at other dogs (but not as much anymore), I promise it`s nothing I can’t work on with a little training. You’ll even get some free training sessions to make sure we’re both comfortable! My placement coordinator knows everything there is to know about me—she has her own “Guide to Max” that she shares with anyone interested!

I know all my basic commands, and I`m super smart—training me is a breeze. And I’ll do anything for a treat!

Some of my favorite things include being brushed, playing chase, and having fun with the occasional `dead bug` (gross, I know, but it’s kind of my thing!). I also enjoy healthy snacks like watermelon!

If you’re interested, please consider filling out an application to meet me. It’s no obligation, and my agent (the placement coordinator) would love to chat with you about me. Seriously, she LOVES talking about me!

I hope to meet you soon!

Our adoption shows are every Saturday from 11-2 at PetsMart stores in Schaumburg (1440 E Golf Rd) and Bloomingdale (162 S Gary Avenue) and Petco in Bloomingdale (412 W Army Trail Rd). We make every effort to have each one of our available animals at a show each weekend. The schedule can be found on our web site www.almosthomefoundation.org under Adopt and is updated the Friday evening prior to the Saturday show.

More about this rescue

We are in need of Foster Homes for our homeless animals!!! Can you help?

What is a Foster Home?
A foster home takes in one of our homeless animals rather than boarding them at the kennel and cares for it until we find a permanent loving home. Almost Home Foundation pays for the all animal's food and medical expenses. The foster home learns the animal's temperament and behaviors. The foster home learns if they get along with other animals. The foster home provides insights on the animals that helps Almost Home Foundation look for the right home for the animal.

Please help!! Just fill out this form and we will contact you or call 630-582-3738 and leave a message letting us know that you are interested in fostering!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are an all-volunteer, registered, not-for-profit 501c3 animal rescue group. Our mission is to save adoptable dogs and cats from being destroyed by finding permanent, loving homes. For details, visit us online at www.almosthomefoundation.org.

Almost Home Foundation is always looking for volunteers to handle dogs at adoption shows, set up adoption shows, write for the newsletter, photograph events, or foster animals. For a list of opportunities, visit online at www.volunteermatch.org
or www.almosthomefoundation.org.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are a Rescue not a Shelter. This simply means we do not own a building where we house animals. We look for loving foster homes that will give temporary care and love on the animal’s journey to a permanent, loving home. When a foster home is not available, we will board the animal at a boarding kennel.

Our 5-year goal is to have a shelter. This is an aggressive goal that will take many donations and memberships. We will strive for this goal with a great team of volunteers and help from people like you! Please become a member, become a sponsor or make a donation.

Our animals are found strayed and brought in from the police. After being held for 7 days, we evaluate the temperament of the animal and determine if the animal is suitable to be a pet. On rare occasion, we will also rescue animals that are in desperate situations where the rescue makes the difference between life and death. We do not accept Owner Give-ups.
