Story
Introducing Fay! This sweet pup is currently residing in a foster home, where she is building her confidence and learning how fun it is to live in a home with a loving family. Fay is clever and highly food-motivated, making her an excellent candidate for learning new tricks and basic manners. With some yummy treats as motivation, Fay is sure to impress you with her intelligence and engagement! Fay's accomplishments: - Crate trained - Cues: Sit, Down, Kisses, Paw - Favorite past times: Cuddles, playing in the water, carrying around sticks & hide/seek - Favorite foods/toys: peanut butter, chicken jerky, cheese, baby carrots, balls, and squeaky toys Fay is looking for a family that is willing to take things slow to help her grow and flourish. Fay loves other dogs, and she would thrive in a household with another confident dog as a role model and friend, as they can help show her that the world is a safe and fun place. She would also benefit from a closed-in backyard, which will help her feel safe as she explores outside and acclimates to her new home. From Fay's foster mom: "Fay is such a sweet dog. Once she is comfortable with her surroundings, she is a happy, smiling girl who enjoys playtime as much as cuddles. Fay settles well in a bedroom or crate while at work making her a perfect pet for those who work out of the house. My favorite part of my morning is waking up to Fay's front paw laying across my shoulder as if she is hugging me good morning. Her sweetness always leads to belly rubs and more cuddles before starting our day. " Check out Fay's Instagram page for the latest on how she is doing in her foster home! https://www.instagram.com/fay_thecutestshelterdog/ I am an All-Star dog! My adoption appointment includes a discussion with our Training Team, and I will go home with my very own no pull-harness and a few enrichment goodies to help get us off to a good start. To learn more about me or to schedule an appointment to meet me, email info@ahconnects.org (please include your name and phone number), and the staff will be happy to help you! I hope to meet you soon! Our dogs and puppies go home spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (6 months and over), and up to date on core vaccines, heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. Their adoption also includes a free-vet exam at one of our participating veterinarians.

Story
Cesar is ready for his forever home! He is believed to be a Golden Retriever/Shepherd mix, around 9-10 years old and about 50ish pounds. He is a docile and sweet guy that is coming out of his shell in his foster home. Prior to coming to BAARK, Cesar spent the majority of his life on a homeless dog ranch in Texas where he did not get much one-on-one human contact. It does take him a little time to open up to people but after a couple days in his foster home, he soon became a “velcro dog” following his foster mom everywhere she goes. He is house broken (has had zero accidents in his foster home) and crate trained. He loves to sleep in his crate but does not need to be crated when left alone, or at night; he is free to roam with no issues. Cesar loves being outside and would love his forever family to have a secure, fenced yard. He has great leash manners and enjoys his daily walks, as well. He is good with other dogs with proper introduction and would do well with another calm dog in the home; he would be fine as an only dog too. We do not know how Cesar is with cats. A home without small children would be best for Cesar as he gets a bit nervous with loud noises and fast movements. Cesar is fully vetted, up to date on all vaccinations, is heartworm negative and his senior bloodwork panel came back perfect. He is also neutered, microchipped and recently had a dental cleaning with appropriate extractions. Due to his having osteoarthritis, typical of larger dogs his age, he would do best continuing to take medications to help. Currently he is taking Omega 3s, Cosequin and Cortaflex Plus that have greatly helped him in his day to day movement. We believe Cesar is also a bit hard of hearing. If you’re looking for a low key, easy going smiley guy who loves to find a soft spot and take a nap, Cesar is your pup!

Story
Hi, my name is Milk Dud (like the candy, but sweeter). I'm that retriever puppy you may have heard about that needed the life saving surgery to remove 6 feet of string that was wrapped around my intestines. With that being said, I am still very much a mischievous puppy and need supervision while I play with toys and explore my surroundings.  I am working on my potty training and showing great improvement- but still need frequent potty breaks so I do not have an accident in the house. Between being a typical mischievous puppy and still needing frequent potty breaks, I would do best in a home with a person home often. My foster mom says I am very good at playing with other dogs and that I respect my senior foster sister when she tells me to back off.  I love playing with my toys and running around the yard. I can be mouthy with my foster parents, but when it comes to the kids, I know to be gentle. Foster mom also says I have a lot of energy and would do best with another dog to play with or a with family that will keep my mind and body exercised. I can be shy with new people but with a little patience and encouragement I will warm up to you.  I love to give kisses, get pets and at the end of the day I love a good snuggle and nap with my humans. Do I sound like the perfect puppy for you?Email: dogs@almosthomefoundation.orgAlmost Home Foundation's adoption requirements:(1) Be at least 21 years of age;(2) Have the consent of all adults living in the household;(3) Have approval from the residence owner;(4) Have valid ID with current address;(5) Be approved by Almost Home Foundation as a suitable adoptive home; and(6) Live in the suburbs surrounding Schaumburg (Illinois Residents only)*** Please note that Almost Home Foundation accepts only cash or checks for adoption fees; we do not accept debit or credit cards. ***
