My story

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

Hello, I'm Anela! I am a puppy, so of course I am full of energy, always up for fun and games. I sure do love my little toy bones, tough to chew toys, and racing around the house! Of course when I am done playing, just like every puppy does, I take a nice long nap. My foster family has a cat that is three times my size. We are best friends and enjoy playing with each other. Sometimes we play chase and sometimes we just wrestle. I also have a canine foster brother that I hang out with.

I have learned to go potty on a pee pad when I need to go. I am tiny and a puppy, so I do need to go potty often. So when I am playing and need to take a break and go potty, I make sure to go on my pee pad. I promise I'm a good girl.

I am very tiny, barely three pounds, so when I'm running around the house, my fosters have to be super careful that I'm not under their feet. I need to be watched carefully when inside or outside exploring. My tiny size allows me to go under and squeeze through just about anything.

I would need a family that's home often since I am so young - very important for my socialization! Also, a fenced in yard is important - I do not yet fit properly or safely in a harness and have no idea how to walk on a leash. NO small children please - I am too tiny and could accidentally and easily be hurt.

I am eagerly awaiting my furever home!

Love and kisses, Anela

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.
