Story

Hi, I’m Lilo, and at 20 pounds, I’m the perfect size for cuddles, adventures, and curling up on the couch. Life hasn’t been easy for me—I was abandoned with my babies in a small crate—but now I’m ready for a fresh start with a family who’ll treat me like royalty. I’m super sweet, and I get along great with dogs, cats, and kids. I’ve got so much love to give, and I’m just looking for that special someone who can show me what a real family is like. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion, I’d be thrilled to be your new best friend! I can't wait to meet you!

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

Story

Our buddy Eddie is not for everyone. But, everyone who meets him want to scoop him up, cuddle him, and make him their own!! He definitely will have none of that! Eddie is an adorable little guy but meets people on his own terms. Once he gets to know them, he's their best buddy. He's been out visiting potential adopters but has not found anyone that he wants to make his forever pet parent! He's looking for an all adult home, and would love to have a canine companion too, preferable someone calm and a bit older like he is. Most important, Eddie needs a forever family willing to be patient with him and give him the time and space he needs to adapt to his new environment. This precious pup has had so many changes in the past few months and we haven’t yet found that special person who will truly understand him. Eddie is believed to be a Rat Terrier, 10 years old but is quite active for his age, neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, heartworm negative and on preventative. Eddie gets along well with dogs of all sizes and enjoys their company. He weighs 19 lbs. If you are interested in adding this precious boy to your family, please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895. Please note that BAARK is located in Barrington IL, and adopts only local to our area.

Story

Amber first arrived to CRA with her litter of puppies, there after referred to as the Seinfeld litter. They have all since been adopted and while Amber's original family wanted to keep her, it ended up not working out and now she's in the market for her own happily ever after. Amber is a small terrier mix with lots of youthful energy left to entertain you. She is also, without any doubt, a chihuahua mix. She does not sell herself well and she gives absolutely zero craps about it because she knows her foster mom will continue to let her live rent free forever anyways. (Side note from her foster mom: she's holding me hostage please send help.) Amber is "v sus about strangers and would prefer it if you just didn't perceive her at all because quite honestly it's criminal that people should expect to just be in her presence for free without paying some kind of toll or subscription. Once she stops being a diva, she's actually a pretty chill little psych ward escapee. She has an olympic medal in zoomies (don't ask to see it though, just take us at our word please). She's cute as heck and soft like a bunny. She loves trashy TV and talking crap about you co-workers with you. Amber is also a very accomplished body guard and does not stand for people hurting those whom she has decided to tolerate. Have you ever wondered what your dog would do if someone broke into your house? You don't need to worry what Amber would do, cuz I'll tell you. She'll open up a full can of chihuahua sass on any unsavory visitors and make sure they think twice before crossing you again. For this reason, we'd like to avoid putting her in a home with children. Mostly because we're pretty positive she'd teach them about arson and pirating music and how to open a dog crate without using any opposable thumbs and sneak out of the house without being caught and we don't want to be responsible for the corruption of your family dynamic. Amber gets along with other chill dogs and has a very "you stay out of my way and I'll stay out of yours mentality. That said, she does not do well with barriers and gets extra spicy when she can't properly sniff a butt. For this reason also we'd love to see her land somewhere with a yard that allows her to not have to be denied butt sniffing due to leash restraints and distance. She'd love to meet you and extort you for all the treats in your possession. She's perfectly imperfect but also at the same time exactly who she was meant to be, and we love that for her. Don't pass on this sass! She's worth it! Amber's adoption fee includes her up to date vaccines and preventatives, heartworm negative, spay, and microchip. If you are interested in being considered for Amber and live within 3 hours of Chicago, please apply directly. If you have any questions before applying please email adopt@chicagorescueauthority.org.
