My story

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

Hi Everyone!

My name is Thursday and I am a young shepherd mix with surprisingly soft fur. I tend to be very shy and reserved (especially with men and other dogs), but once I get to know you, I'm very playful! One of my favorite things to do is run around in my backyard!

My favorite toys are sticks and balls, but snuggling with my foster parents are by far #1!

I am completely house trained, but still learning how to let me foster mom and dad know that I need to go outside. We are working on getting me on some kind of schedule.

I am crate trained both overnight and when foster mom and dad are gone and it is my "quiet place", so sometimes I go in there just to chill and relax.

I'm learning new commands and currently know "sit" and "paw". I am great on a leash, because I love my walks. I'm also good with children, but keep in mind that I am a larger pup, so I may be intimidating for the little ones.

I also love my treats, so if you need a way to motivate me, it's through my tummy!

Some say I'm the perfect dog because I do not bark . . . not even at people or other dogs. I think I'm the perfect dog because I have the BEST demeanor. I have never shown any signs of aggression and have been nice to everyone!

If it sounds like I could be a good fit for you, please submit an application to meet me real soon! I love it here, but am looking for my forever home!

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.
