Thanks for your interest in our dog. Your completed application will help Almost Home Dog Rescue match our pups with loving homes. While we try our best to communicate what we know about our rescues, including any known medical or behavioral issues, often times we are working with minimal information and prior history. Breed identification cannot be guaranteed and is often our best guess. We want our adoptions to be forever homes, please take the time to research, plan and choose a dog who fits your lifestyle.
