Almost Home Dog Rescue

We are a small group of volunteers whose goal is to save the lives of homeless dogs suffering in high-kill shelters. In doing so, we hope to provide an alternative to the purchase of puppy-mill and pet-store dogs, thereby reducing the demand for and ultimately the supply of such dogs. We strive to match each dog with the right family after the dog has been observed in a foster home.

Meet Nessy

Nessy is a friendly and sweet 1.5-year-old hound/shepherd mix and weighs 51lbs. This guy is very eye catching with his unique coloring and endearing smile.    Nessy has been an excellent house guest in his foster home so far. He seems to be housebroken and goes right into his crate to sleep the night away. He loves taking walks and is pretty good on a leash. He likes sniffing all the good smells, stopping to be pet by anyone that walks by and enjoys the occasional roll in the grass.    Nessy has seemed to love the kids in his foster home, as well as dogs of all shapes and sizes. He would love a human buddy to play fetch with or a dog sibling to run around with in the backyard. Nessy would love a fenced yard, if possible, as he does enjoy some daily zoomies. He would also be just as happy with frequent walks; he’d even make a great running partner. His only fault is that he sometimes jumps up in an attempt to lick your face, but he is learning not to. He would be perfect for a family who enjoys the enthusiasm of a puppy without all of the initial training effort. He’s very affectionate and settles down nicely in the house. He is always down for cuddling up to watch a movie with his family. If you are interested in this handsome boy please email [email protected] (Local adoptions preferred — Philadelphia and tri-state area [South Jersey and northern Delaware] only.) PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTACTING US! We are NOT a shelter: All of our dogs live in private homes with foster families. Come and meet the Almost Home dogs and their fosters at our Meet & Greet events, where you can learn more about our wonderful dogs from the people who live with them, find out which dogs are on their way and when they’ll arrive, and fill out an application to adopt or foster. We cannot adopt to homes where electric-shock fencing systems or training collars are used. For more information on the dangers of electric-shock collars, please visit banshockcollars.ca/studies.php . We do not have an online adoption application; to request an application, e-mail us at [email protected]. To speed e-mail processing time, be sure to note the name of the dog you are inquiring about in the Subject line. For Meet & Greet times and locations, visit our home page, where you also will find information on our adoption process and fees. FOSTER FAMILIES ARE LIFESAVERS!! Can you open your heart and home for a few weeks to homeless shelter dog? Remember, by fostering a dog, you save TWO lives — that of your foster dog, and that of the dog who takes his place in the shelter! Come to a Meet & Greet and find out if fostering is for you — there's no reward quite like the feeling that you've saved a life ... or two!

Adoption Process
We require vet and reference checks and a home visit for all adoptions. Our adoption fee is $275 with an extra $50 deposit for unaltered puppies.
