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
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
Who is looking for a little puppy with a big dog name?! Clifford the Terrier mix is ready to go to his forever home! Clifford is 8 weeks old and weighs abut 3 pounds. This little fella is the smallest and cuddliest, he loves to be held. He does the cutest little hops when he's navigating around, and he patiently waits on his litter mates when they're being wild. He does well with other dogs, children, and new adult friends. We think he'd adjust just fine to cats, too! He will need a forever home with a family who is ready for a tiny puppy, and all the puppy training that comes with a young guy like Clifford. His foster family has started working with him, but he will need more help to be the best adult dog he can be! If Clifford's sweet face as you smitten, let us know by submitting an application! Clifford's adoption fee is $650
