Story
I AM FROM A HOARDING SITUATION; I WILL NEED TIME AND PATIENCE TO ACCLIMATE TO MY NEW HOME! Born: April 01, 2020 I am 16lbs and I am looking for my forever home. Adoption Donation: $450 Bentley – The Brave Little Explorer Bentley is a resilient and charming Rat Terrier mix with a heart full of potential. Rescued from a hoarding house, he’s on a journey of learning to love and trust, taking each day with quiet courage. Though a bit shy at first, his sweet personality shines through as he discovers the joys of a safe and loving home. This cutie little man is as endearing as they come, with bright eyes full of curiosity and a gentle spirit. Every tail wag and step forward is a victory, and with patience and kindness, Bentley is blossoming into the wonderful companion he was always meant to be.

Story
My name is Capricorn and I am looking for my fur-ever home. Clicking on my picture is the first step in getting to know me! Potential adopters always ask a lot of questions about me. Here are the most common ones:Q: What is your back story?A: I heard that I used to live in a home with several dogs until my owner died. Luckily the volunteers at Almost Home Foundation saved me so I could have a second chance. I am currently in a foster home with two adult humans and two doggie sisters while I wait to be adopted. Q: What was it like when you first came to Almost Home? A: When I first arrived, I was terrified of everything. I don’t know if this was just my way of decompressing or if I am just a naturally nervous dog or perhaps both. But with love, patience, and encouragement, I slowly came out of my shell. I am still nervous but my personality is starting to show, especially when I am out in the backyard. I’m like a totally different dog out there, running around and having fun.Q: Are you housebroken and crate-trained?A: Yes to both! In fact, I love my crate. It’s my own little den where I feel safe and comfortable. Q: Are you good with dogs, cats, or kids?A: I am dog-friendly. I am skittish so children would be too scary for me. It’s okay if they visit once in a while but being around them all the time would be overwhelming. Older teens should be fine. I am not sure how I would be with cats.Q: Do you chew furniture, etc.?A: Nope. Not at all. I spend most of my day curled up in my doggie bed under a blanket. I’m so quiet that you hardly know I’m there!Q: Can you be left home alone?A: Yes! Just put me in my crate with a Kong toy and a blanket and I’m a happy camper.Q: Do you need a fenced-in yard?A: Yes. I am skittish and do not potty on a leash, I will also need a secure fenced yard for potty-time. It doesn`t need to be a big yard, just a secure one.Q: What is your ideal forever home?A: In terms of a forever home, I need someone with lots of love and patience to help me learn to trust. I am not a social butterfly that wants to meet everyone. I have not been very cuddly with people but I will sometimes let my foster mom pet me. Previous experience with scared/skittish dogs is a plus but not a must. Also, an overly busy home with lots of people coming-and-going would be overwhelming. And again, a fenced yard is required.Q: Anything else we s

Story
The Tenn. folks figure that I was born around the beginning of the year and took care of my sister and I, gave us our vaccines and sent us up North so that a better life would be had. I might be a little shy but must came in. My shelter mom knows that I will warm up fast to humans and am already comfortable with other canine friends. I weigh just a hair over 20# which lists me as medium. If you would like to meet me, PLEASE FILL OUT THE APPLICATION on the website of www.4Paws4U4Ever.com under How To Adopt. Thank you
