My story

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

Madison is looking for her forever family!
 
Madison is a 2-3 year old lovely lady who weighs around 50lbs. She is listed as a lab/ shepherd mix but her face shape says collie mix maybe? A few months ago she found herself on the dreaded urgent list; we got her just in time!
 
Affectionately nicknamed Maddie, by her foster family, she is an incredibly loving and sweet girl who is ready to thrive in her forever home. Maddie’s perfect day would involve cuddling up next to her humans to binge watch TV... although no promises she doesn’t snore through the show!
Maddie’s favorite food group is cheese... any and all cheese please! This is very helpful for training. Maddie has been through a lot. She and another dog were surrendered by their owner with no explanation. After being in a home with a family and then landing in a crowded and noisy shelter she became a bit  nervous. She came to us and work began working on leash walking and being more comfortable outdoors. Unfortunately our girl was being walked in a park and a dog who was not leashed went after her so we went backward a few steps. With patience we think she will find confidence again but for now a home with a fenced yard would make her happiest. Maddie recently learned how fun treat training can be and she is eager to please.
 
Madison is in a foster home with other dogs and is doing well. We think she would be fine with another mellow dog or would be ok being a solo dog too. This girl rides nicely in the car, is potty trained and will go into a crate easily for some yummy snacks.
 
If you are looking  for a couch cuddling snuggle bug just in time for these cooler days Madison might be your perfect girl! Email us to apply for Madison and meet her!
 
Email almosthome4dogs@yahoo.com to learn more about Maddie and schedule a meet! She deserves for her next stop to be her true forever home.

(Local adoptions preferred — Philadelphia and tri-state area [South Jersey and northern Delaware] only.) PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTACTING US! We are NOT a shelter: All of our dogs live in private homes with foster families. Come and meet the Almost Home dogs and their fosters at our Meet & Greet events, where you can learn more about our wonderful dogs from the people who live with them, find out which dogs are on their way and when they’ll arrive, and fill out an application to adopt or foster. We cannot adopt to homes where electric-shock fencing systems or training collars are used. For more information on the dangers of electric-shock collars, please visit banshockcollars.ca/studies.php . We do not have an online adoption application; to request an application, e-mail us at AlmostHome4Dogs@yahoo.com. To speed e-mail processing time, be sure to note the name of the dog you are inquiring about in the Subject line. For Meet & Greet times and locations, visit our home page, where you also will find information on our adoption process and fees. FOSTER FAMILIES ARE LIFESAVERS!! Can you open your heart and home for a few weeks to homeless shelter dog? Remember, by fostering a dog, you save TWO lives — that of your foster dog, and that of the dog who takes his place in the shelter! Come to a Meet & Greet and find out if fostering is for you — there's no reward quite like the feeling that you've saved a life ... or two!

More about this rescue

We are a small group of volunteers whose goal is to save the lives of homeless dogs suffering in high-kill shelters. In doing so, we hope to provide an alternative to the purchase of puppy-mill and pet-store dogs, thereby reducing the demand for and ultimately the supply of such dogs. We strive to match each dog with the right family after the dog has been observed in a foster home.
