My story

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

Dotty is a very friendly, loving active 8 pound mixed breed, good with dogs and even liked the small child she met upon arrival. Working on housebreaking, good with puppy pads and a truly wonderful personality. Everyone who has met her is immediately in love. Look at that sweet face.

Dotty has a story to tell (and of course we don't speak her language)-she has had a tough start to her young life, most likely hit by a car and required a FHO surgery to her back right leg. When it never healed right, we xrayed it again and saw the femur had once more broken and shifted and couldn't be saved and we needed to amputate that leg... she is doing incredible, very mobile, very active, very loving, very outgoing and just the most resilient petite girl there is.

PLEASE NOTE- AN APPLICATION FROM THE WEBSITE ALMOSTHOMEDOGS.ORG IS REQUIRED prior to any meet and greet. Calling, emailing and using the “contact us” link is not useful and will delay your consideration in the adoption of the dog. Petfinder inquires are not sent to us.

The adoption fee is $425, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including age appropriate vaccinations, worming, flea/tick preventative and spay/neuter. All of our dogs will be microchipped.

Because our dogs are in foster homes, applications are required prior to setting up any appointments. Calling or emailing may delay your consideration. Find our application on our website, almosthomedogs.org, then click on "Adopt" tab at top

We are a non profit no kill 501 (c)3 rescue. Please understand that we do our best to describe our dogs but often we rescue them with virtually no information about them and often our best educated guess can be challenging. Currently check, cash or venmo is preferred payment.
