My story

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

Looking for a dog to be your walking or hiking buddy? Meet Eliana! This young mix is sweet, energetic, and smart. Rescued from life as a stray in Alabama, she was brought to Illinois by Almost Home Foundation for a better chance at finding her perfect family.

Eliana is shy around new people at first, but she warms up quickly and is good with children. She thrives on physical and mental engagement. She really enjoys her walks and pulls a little on the leash initially but responds well to correction. She also loves to play outside, but can get a little too enthusiastic and may accidentally knock over smaller kids during her zoomies.

She needs a slow introduction with other dogs but has done well with her foster family’s dog. Her behavior around cats is unknown.

Though she has plenty of energy, she’s content to relax after a good play session or walk. She loves snuggling on the couch with her foster family.

Eliana weighs about 50 pounds, is up-to-date on shots, microchipped, heartworm negative, and spayed.

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.
