Penguin has been on here way too long. You need to move her to another member that will work with her. Saw her 3 times at Petsmart and on the home visit Maggy then tells me she poops in the house still, chews on cables and gives her junk food for snacks. I was rejected for having a small yard. Ext cord in the kitchen because I recently had electrical problem. Said my dog getting healthy snacks vs junk food Penguin is used to could be a problem. Saw this dog 3 times prior to home visit and at my house she says " she just wanted to be honest", really. Not to mention Maggy works from home which means this dog should have less issues for the time she has had her. Seems to me this poor dog is not with the right person. I have rescued 8 dogs in the past and tackled all issues. Its not the dog its the person that has them. This is one of those situations. Was I hurt when denied, yes. I got an email not even a phone call. I was not going to write this but the dog is still on your website. Please reach out to this dog and get her a good home. I recently adopted from another facility less money and far less hassell.
He is thriving, potty trained already and in the daily routine and its only been a week. If there were other factors to my not getting Penguin then thats on you for not telling me. Oh yeah and Maggy takes her on LONG walks. I would check into that too.
I hope Penguin finds the home she deserves as soon as possible.

Against my better judgment I filled out an application after reading the reviews. And went through the process of meeting a beautiful dog. Everything went great and was told I would definitely hear back. After a few days I called to just reiterate how much we loved the dog and was told it was one more person that be meeting her but I was front contender. Okay fast forward a week later nothing. Figured I wasn’t chosen. Another week and the same dog is back posted on the website. After being told I was front runner. But I guess I wasn’t good enough. Let me say this your being profiled and judged to give a dog a loving home. It’s not just about being a good fit for the animal you want to love. They are making it a popularity test and they have to like you and judge you and your home. Their application process is nothing more than in my experience sad. I will however recommend going to NAPERVILLE HUMANE SOCIETY! Great people who are not judging you and taking you through the wringer to give animals love. Almost home has the type of application process that will make some shop and not adopt but don’t give up! Naperville Humane Society is Definitely a great place with great customer service. A great place to donate and help animals.
I hope the beautiful dog I wanted finds a loving home.

Volunteering at AHF has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I love the flexibility of when to volunteer, the community of volunteers, and of course, the chance to help the dogs and cats in their time of need. Our country needs to do better to ensure no animal (or human) experiences neglect or abuse, and volunteering here is one step in the right direction to create a better world for us all.

On May 30, 2009 I adopted Charisma, a Catahoula Leopard Lab mix. He was the best dog in the world! Charisma was always looking to please and provided so much love and he was given love in return. When my husband my husband and Charisma met in September 2011, they immediately took to each other. I regret to say that Charisma passed away on January 17,2024 at home with my husband and myself at his side. Charisma was 16 years and 4 months old. He will be missed and will always remain in our hearts. He had his forever home.

AHF is totally committed in saving dogs. Totally run by non-paid volunteers. Dogs come from many places, Southern State Transports, Airplanes from various State Disasters, Horders and others including Dogs freed in the legal process. AHF volunteers work tirelessly to allow each animal to be loved and provide love to their new furever families. And as a final thought, every Dog's Last Will and Testament ends with all its possessions going to a poor Dog that hasn't known love, like it's bowls, bed, etc, and each passing Dog gives it the only thing it can give: "The love I Left Behind".

From becoming volunteers and adopting our dogs, to eventually becoming fosters, Almost Home Foundation is a rescue that is accessible with a team of dedicated volunteers that make it easy to do our part no matter what capacity. I really appreciate the opportunity to be apart of this amazing community and see so many dogs get the quality attention, care, and eventually homes they deserve!Support your local rescues!Start volunteering and maybe fall in love?!Whatever you do, adopt don’t shop! ?❤️?
