Story
Are you looking for some joy to beat the winter blues? Well, meet Joy! This 3 year-old collie mix is sure to melt the blues away. She is 32 pounds of fun, from scampering in the backyard with her foster family's resident dogs, to sniffing on the walks she loves, to snuggling while watching football, to TRYING to climb a tree after a cocky squirrel, to showing off her balancing act by strutting on her back legs (yep--her foster family calls her the "Dancing Queen"). Joy is house-trained, spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on all her vaccinations. Her fur almost glistens and she has some subtle tan spots on her face. Check out those soft ears that often tilt forward. Joy is working on getting more confident when she meets unfamiliar dogs she encounters when walking on leash. Back at home, she loves pulling dog toys from the bin and carrying them to one of her many favorite spots. Who knows--maybe Joy will be bringing an extra dose of love to your Valentine's Day. If you are interested in applying for Joy, email almosthome4dogs@yahoo.com (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!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 31, 2025, 9:52 pm
