Nadia is a lovely Bluetick Coonhound mix, already spayed, thanks to sponsor Anne B. She is well-mannered, very lovable and really enjoys being petted and played with. She is a good walker on the leash and knows basic commands like sit and lie down. When she is happy, she has a big smile. Sometimes she's not too sure about other dogs, so a proper introduction is required.

Jake is such a love!

Wish you could see him in person because he is simply gorgeous! Jake is one of the most polite, laid back cats you will ever meet. He gets along with the other cats at the Haven, and has such a sweet personality that he would make any household complete. http://www.petfinder.com/pet detail/24897997

ARTHUR - OUR PERFECT LITTLE MAN

Arthur came to Almost Home with his buddy, Mo. He is an adult short-hair stunning Tabby male - he has very cool markings. He is quite scared at the shelter and hasn't let his true personality really shine through yet. We know that he is a good-hearted boy though, and just fearful of his new surroundings. He does enjoy being pet and will let you do that all day long! Arthur, and also Mo, would really benefit from foster homes while they wait for their new forever homes. If you are interested in fostering, please reach out to Almost Home at almosthome1965@aol.com.

Hi,

My name is Lizzie. I was rescued quite some time ago by two volunteers. They responded to a phone call. The neighbor said there was a dog tied up that looked dead.

The nice ladies came to my home. The grass was really high and the volunteers scuffled to get to me. You see I was tied up and I had no food or water. I was skin and bones with cuts all over my body. I was at my wit’s end and giving up on life as I could hardly stand up. One of the ladies... (Continued)

Hi,

My name is Lizzie. I was rescued quite some time ago by two volunteers. They responded to a phone call. The neighbor said there was a dog tied up that looked dead.

The nice ladies came to my home. The grass was really high and the volunteers scuffled to get to me. You see I was tied up and I had no food or water. I was skin and bones with cuts all over my body. I was at my wits end and giving up on life as I could hardly stand up. One of the ladies started to cry when they found me. I was really frightened because I thought they were going to hurt me but suddenly something told me that they were good.

The mean people that lived in the house left me there to die. For some time I thought that would have been better because I was in so much pain. I was out there for days and days. Fortunatedly, the neighbor would throw food out to me but I was still really scared and hungry all the time.The nice ladies smiled at me and said not to worry. They were there to help...

Tears ran down their cheeks. I realized they were crying because of the condition I was in. I really didn't think that people cared about me at all.They picked me up in a blanket and I yelped because my cuts hurt so bad. But I didn't try to bite them.

They took me to a place where everyone was nice. They gave me good food and water and cleaned my wounds. Then they took me in the car again to a hospital. I was really afraid there but the nice ladies stayed with me. They stroked my little head so gently. I had to stay there over night because I was so sick and my cuts needed stitches. I wanted them to stay but they couldn't. The next day the ladies came back they hugged me and brought me really good food.

The vet came to talk to them. He was kind of upset.

He knew my story some how. He said I was used for fighting but not sure if I was bait or a fighter. Sadly, I was both. You see I am little and not very strong. I tried to fight but I didn't know how. So they used me for awful things and left me tied outside to die.

The vet told them to put me to sleep. I wasn't sure what that meant but I knew it was bad because the lady got real upset. She wrapped me up again in a blanket paid the bill and left real fast.

I was happy to go home with them and loved being with them.

As I got better and stronger I became happy and loved playing in the yard and getting lots of love and affection. My home was "Almost Home". I didn't like being around the other dogs and would start problems. The ladies tried to teach me but I was so afraid another dog was going to hurt me so I felt I had to get them before they got me. The ladies tried to get me adopted but in those days most people didn't want a dog like me. As soon as they would show me to someone they would say things like is that a Pit Bull? Or what breed it she?

I really started coming around and was starting to get my confidence back. There was a woman who was interested in adopting me. I was so excited and I was real nice to her and showed her affection. She played in the back yard with me and I felt alive and exuberant.

We played for hours. She came almost every day for a while. When she would get there I would get so excited.That is all I would think about is her. I felt that someone really loved me. She said she would be back the next day. I was so happy I couldn't wait until tomorrow. I waited the next day then the next and then I got real sad because I knew she was not coming for me. I know because she found out I was a Pittie. The two ladies tried to explain to her but she said her neighbors would not have it.

Well, life went on and I saw lots of dogs come and go. I would dream about a family with my own backyard. A real home.. a real family. Someone I could love and they would love me back.

Well, I have been here for a long time. Almost Home found this great trainer who wanted to help me find a home. So Almost Home signed some papers and gave him some money and here I am. I am ready, trained and the best student here. Everyone is so proud of me.

I have been here for a while and have learned very good manners. I get along with other dogs too.

Now all I need is someone to believe in me like the trainer and Almost Home does.

I need someone who will love me for who I am... a living being with a heart that beats and a soul that yearns to love and be loved. I have worked hard to be better than better. Please give me that chance.

Love,

Lizzie

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

- We ask for your patience as we review your application. Almost Home receives numerous applications each day and cannot respond to every one individually.

- Approved applicants are based on best fit, not first submitted. ALMOST HOME RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE ANY APPLICANT, so please understand that it is within our discretion to make those decisions on behalf of our animals.

- OUR ADOPTION EVENTS ARE VERY BUSY so please keep that in mind if you intend to come. You should expect to spend some time there if you are sincerely interested in one of our animals (since we have limited manpower and many visitors to screen).

-Due to space limitations, WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THE RESCUE YOU ARE INTERESTED IN WILL BE AT THE ADOPTION EVENT (we are oftentimes saving up to 80 animals at a time!) We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.

- We ask that you DO NOT contact Premier Pet Supply about our animals. They are kind enough to provide space for our adoption events, but are not involved with our rescue work.

- If a rescue is "PENDING" it is currently in the process of being adopted, but may be available in the future if it is not finalized.

- Keep in mind that we depend 100% on volunteers, most of whom have full-time jobs, so we ask for your understanding as we do the best we can in the endless effort to find homes for these deserving animals!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN A RESCUE!
