My name is Sweet Summer!

Hello there! My name is Sweet Summer and I am looking for my fur-ever home...again. Since coming to Almost Home Foundation in 2019, I have been adopted and returned twice due to no fault of my own. I am back in my original foster home with two adult humans and two canine foster sisters while I wait to find my new family.

Here is my what I know about my background. I lived with my owners in Alabama. One day I was attacked by another dog and needed medical attention. Unfortunately, my owners could not or would not pay to get me all fixed up. So I found myself in a shelter (and the "cone of shame" from the stitches). Luckily, an Almost Home volunteer rescued me from an uncertain future. One Friday I was put into a crate and loaded into a truck with a bunch of other dogs. And 12 hours later, I arrived in Illinois, ready to begin my new life

Now that you know my history, let me tell you a bit about myself. I'll keep my bio short and sweet, just like me! Here is what you need to know:

1. I am small-dog friendly.
2. I am housebroken and crate-trained.
3. I am good with children over age 7. I do not know about younger children.
4. I love to play with squeaky toys. If there is no human or dog who wants to play, I will pick up a toy and start playing on my own. Too cute!
5. I enjoy snuggles and cuddles with my humans. My name says it all. I really am sweet!
6. I know the commands "sit" and "lay down."
7. I am up-to-date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, spayed, and micro-chipped. I also recently had a dental done (with many extractions) so I'm all set there. I should mention that I am in the early stage of heart disease (very common in small, older dogs) and will require medication for the rest of my life. But you wouldn't know it by how I run and play in the yard!

Do you have room in your heart and home for me? If so, all you need to do is email dogs@almosthomefoundation.org to get in touch with my foster parents.
