Poor Melba must have thought she was "toast" after she was tossed out of a car near the pound after hours ... and there she was waiting at the gate for the shelter workers when they arrived in the morning! Her friends at the shelter say this year-old girl is a good-natured, friendly pup who happily plays with dogs four times her size, and they predict she'll make a great family dog for some lucky family!
Melba just made the long trip north in search of a home and family of her own -- could it be yours? Please stop by an upcoming Meet & Greet to find out if Melba is the right pet for you!
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: 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.
(Note: Please e-mail us to request an adoption application.) 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
website, 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!
