Nikki the German Shepherd spent months on the streets of Detroit before Almost Home Animal Rescue League and South Lyon Murphy Lost Animal Recovery saved the dog.
I’m Edgar. I was in a lot of pain at an overcrowded high-kill shelter down south. My time was up and I was going to be euthanized. My body was septic, causing my eyes to be extremely infected. I was in agony. I felt like a pariah as nobody would touch me. I had mange on every part of my body and no hair. The sores on my body were oozing everywhere.
The volunteer at the shelter knew I needed love and affection. She wrapped a blanket around me and held me like a baby. Tears fell from her eyes, as she knew that my time was limited. She knew about Almost Home and told them my story. She said I only had minutes left.
Almost Home immediately put me in foster care. They signed the papers to get me all medical care needed. My foster mom took me straight to the hospital where I was treated for all my ailments. I was in the hospital for quite some time.
I was finally able to get my health certificate so I could go to Michigan where my medical would be continued. Unfortunately, my eye had to be removed, because it was so infected, it could not be saved. My Michigan foster took real good care of me and took me to all my dr. appointments. It was a slow process but look at me now on the cover of this card! My foster mom fell in love with me and ultimately adopted me! Oh, what a great life I have now! No more pain for me. Tender loving care is all I know now!
Love, Edgar XO

Almost Home Animal Rescue League was founded in 1999 by Gail Montgomery Schwartz and Lauren Montgomery Anchill. The mother and daughter team became disheartened while volunteering at various animal shelters.
Being of the ‘never kill’ philosophy, they were disturbed by the endless euthanasia practiced simply because animals were born homeless and society felt there was no place for them.
Gail and Lauren wanted a huge difference in our animals’ lives. Almost Home became the first Never Kill 501 (c)(3) animal rescue organization. Almost Home is the one and only pure never kill organization. It’s truly a place for dogs and cats to not only feel safe but to be safe.
We are so proud of our work and all the people who are instrumental in saving lives with us. Here’s to being the model never kill animal rescue. Love to all. Peace and good life to all.
