of the pet or generic questions of "how old is it?", "can I get more information?", "oh it's so cute", etc. You must fill out an application in order to schedule an appointment. Here is a link to our online application almosthomenm.rescueivey/apply/adopt The application can also be found and downloaded from our main website almosthomenm/available-for-adoption Once you have filled out an application please watch your emails to schedule an appointment. Please be aware we do not hold dogs until an appointment to meet them is scheduled. Approximate DOB 11/4/2025 – about 4 lbs currently Yahtzee (blond smooth coat female), Chessy (very petite medium scruffy blond female), Jenga (very scruffy blond female), Checkers (Black and tan smooth coat male), Bingo (brown scruffy male), Topple (smooth coat blond male), and Trouble (black and tan scruffy male) were surrendered to a local shelter during the holidays. Unfortunately, the shelter couldn't find a foster for them and they were too small to adopt out so they reached out to us for help. We agreed and they all made there way to rescue and are now old enough to find their happily ever afters. These babies are very outgoing, sweet, and playful. We are completely guessing on their breed possibility as they all look soooo different-- possibly Dachshund, Chihuahua, Poodle, and/or Norfolk Terrier-- they have shorter legs, longer bodies, and some are quite a bit fuzzier whereas some have more of a smooth coat (more than likely we have multiple fathers in this litter).. It will be interesting to have DNA tests done on them. Using a dog door during the day and a litter box with wood shaving at night. Adopter would need to make continue with house training though. These babies are very high energy and will need an active family/person to keep them busy. But oh my goodness they are all very playful and happy and love everyone they meet. This is a very sweet mellow boy.. Loves being held but also loves to run around and play. He's a very watchful baby who just prefers to sit in a lap whenever possible. Spayed/neutered, microchipped, and current on all vaccinations - Fee $275 We do welcome out-of-state adoptions. Adopters would need to be able to come out to meet/adopt the pet. Send an email to request the application or you can download it from the main site .almosthomenm and email it to adoptalmosthomenm Dogs are seen by appointment only after an application has been submitted and approved. If you have other dogs it is recommended you bring them out to the meeting but not required. If you are not ready to adopt (vacation/travel planned and don't want to put your new pet in boarding, in the middle of a move, etc) please wait to schedule an appointment until you are ready. Steps for adoption: Read bio, email to request application or download it from the main website, fill it out completely and email it back, once approved you will receive an email asking you when you would like to come out to meet the pet, schedule an appointment, directions will be emailed or text to you.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
