My story

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

Meet Greta
Meet Greta, one of the sweetest dogs you will ever meet. Greta is about ten years and a bit less than 10 pounds. She is housebroken and loves nothing more than to hang with her person, take walks, search for squirrels (I mean, which dog doesn't) and cuddle. Looking for a quiet home with someone who loves cuddles, walks and a loving little companion.

Greta was found running down a road in Texas near a vet office and given refuge. It was quickly discovered that Greta had two very painful patellas (knees) and required surgery. That was performed, the left leg is now fine, the right leg in spite of repeated surgeries just could never be right-it is as good as it is going to be-she loves to run, walk, jump etc, she really doesn't use it but is the happiest dog in spite of it. Happy to discuss further with an adopter looking for a happy lapdog that loves to cuddle with their person.

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 $200, 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.

APPLY AT ALMOSTHOMEDOGS.ORG (click on the word "Adopt" at top of page to find the dropdown menu with application)

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
