Almost Home Shelter

Adoptable Dogs

We believe that every dog deserves a loving home. At Almost Home Shelter, we are dedicated to finding forever families for our furry friends. Our adoptable dogs list changes frequently, so there’s always a new dog waiting to steal your heart. Want to know more about a dog? Send us a message or give us a call. We would be thrilled to introduce you to your new best friend. If you’re ready to take the next step and bring a dog into your home, you can start the adoption process by filling out an application. Don’t worry, completing the application doesn’t commit you to anything. It simply allows our adoption committee to review your information for approval. As part of our responsible adoption process, we conduct background checks on all potential adopters, so please include your middle name. Also, make sure to provide an email address that you check regularly, as we may have follow-up questions for you. Together, let’s make a difference in the lives of these wonderful dogs.

Their breeds are “Your guess is as good as ours,” or as we like to call them – just good dogs!

Foster a Dog

Foster a Dog
Fostering is such an essential part of our rescue process at Almost Home Shelter. We believe that by fostering, we not only create space inside the shelter but also provide opportunities for dogs to find forever families in different states through other rescue groups. When you become a foster, you become a hero, saving at least 2 lives and helping our dogs decompress from the shelter environment, preparing them for their new homes. The experience of fostering is incredibly rewarding, and although it can be tough to say goodbye, our fosters will tell you that it’s well worth the tiny heartbreak when your dog leaves. If fostering sounds like something you’re interested in, we invite you to fill out our foster application by clicking the link below.
