My story

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

 

 If you don't mind a dog whose tail won't stop wagging--who loves your companionship--who enjoys walks and toys--who rocks and rolls with his resident canine buddies, then Jerry is the dog for you. Jerry is a two-year-old Lab/terrier mix. He weighs 57 pounds and his fur reminds his foster parents of the color of butterscotch pudding with dabs of whipped cream.

 

 Jerry was a staff favorite at a rural shelter before Almost Home Dog Rescue provided a foster family for him. 

 

Jerry seems to be housetrained as he has been accident-free in his foster home.  He likes to show off how well he sits and then gently takes a treat! He'd love to celebrate the arrival of spring with a forever family by watching the Phillies on TV (with some serious snuggling included) and then playing a little catch after the game--a fenced-in yard would be heaven for him. 

 

Email almosthome4dogs@yahoo.com to request an application for Jerry and see how he might be a fine fit for your family.

 

(Local adoptions preferred — Philadelphia and tri-state area [South Jersey and northern Delaware] only.) PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTACTING US! We are NOT a shelter: All of our dogs live in private homes with foster families. Come and meet the Almost Home dogs and their fosters at our Meet & Greet events, where you can learn more about our wonderful dogs from the people who live with them, find out which dogs are on their way and when they’ll arrive, and fill out an application to adopt or foster. We cannot adopt to homes where electric-shock fencing systems or training collars are used. For more information on the dangers of electric-shock collars, please visit banshockcollars.ca/studies.php . We do not have an online adoption application; to request an application, e-mail us at AlmostHome4Dogs@yahoo.com. To speed e-mail processing time, be sure to note the name of the dog you are inquiring about in the Subject line. For Meet & Greet times and locations, visit our home page, where you also will find information on our adoption process and fees. FOSTER FAMILIES ARE LIFESAVERS!! Can you open your heart and home for a few weeks to homeless shelter dog? Remember, by fostering a dog, you save TWO lives — that of your foster dog, and that of the dog who takes his place in the shelter! Come to a Meet & Greet and find out if fostering is for you — there's no reward quite like the feeling that you've saved a life ... or two!

More about this rescue

We are a small group of volunteers whose goal is to save the lives of homeless dogs suffering in high-kill shelters. In doing so, we hope to provide an alternative to the purchase of puppy-mill and pet-store dogs, thereby reducing the demand for and ultimately the supply of such dogs. We strive to match each dog with the right family after the dog has been observed in a foster home.
